• DNS Intel

  Irena Damsky (Damsky Tech)

  Course level: Intermediate

  Intended Audience: Malware analysts, hunters, soc analysts, network analysts, IR handlers and anyone interested in learning how to use DNS to their advantage.

  Pre-requisites: Basic understanding on networking.

  Abstract: DNS is the one of the basic layers that holds the Internet together. Without it, not much else works... even malware. This three-hour presentation is focused on how to use DNS to the advantage of defending networks. With good techniques it is possible to find a great deal of misuse based on DNS such as DGAs, fast/double flux networks, phishing, and brand impersonation. Tools like passive DNS, whois, and active probing allow defenders to proactively search for malicious indicators before they are operationalized so defenders can get ahead of the attack cycle.

  Presenter: Irena Damsky is the founder of Damsky.tech – CTI Research, Training and Consulting. She is a security and intelligence researcher and developer based in Israel. Her focus is on threat intelligence, networking, malware & data analysis and taking out bad guys as she is running the company and provides the different services.

  Prior to starting Damsky.tech, Irena held different roles in the industry from ranging from Threat intelligence leader to VP of Security Research and served over six years in the Israeli Intelligence Forces, where she now holds the rank of Captain in the Reserve Service. She is a frequent speaker at security events, holds a BSc and MSc in Computer Science, and is fluent in English, Russian, and Hebrew.

• Beyond paste monitoring: deep information leak analysis

  Janis Džerins, CERT.LV

  It is a well-known fact in the InfoSec community that paste sites are used to anonymously share information that can be (and is) used for illegal and/or unethical activities on the internet (unauthorized access, hacking, DOXing). Static patterns (character and byte sequences, regular expressions) are quite commonly used for information leak detection. The objective of this presentation is to highlight deficiencies of using such patterns as the sole method of information leak detection, and propose complimentary techniques to increase the usefulness of such applications. We also present a proof-of-concept application where these techniques are being implemented which is being developed in the framework of CEF project "Improving Cyber Security Capacities in Latvia".

• DoH, DoT & ESNI – What it means for malware.

  Graham Stevens, BTCERT/CC

  The talk will give an in-depth view of DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS, and the TLS 1.3 draft for Encrypted SNIs. The talk will then discuss how these will affect future investigations/incidents when they are abused by malware and malicious actors. If time is on my side, I will also hope to include some real malware samples that are using these techniques.

• Exploit Kit Hunting with Cuckoo Sandbox

  Jurriaan Bremer and Ricardo van Zutphen, Cuckoo Sandbox

  Cuckoo Sandbox is the leading open source automated malware analysis system, used by tens of thousands of users including hundreds of international CERT/SOC/IR teams. In this presentation we will take a look at the highlights of our recent developments in Cuckoo Sandbox regarding the automated analysis of in-the-wild exploits & payloads used by Exploit Kits, our capabilities of performing an offline replay of such analyses (allowing one to re-run the analysis over and over again), and our work in progress on performing many URL analyses in parallel. Through this new functionality we aim to simplify obtaining relevant information and IOCs from Exploit Kits, something that up until now has been mostly a manual and complex job.

  We will briefly highlight how organizations can use our new functionality in their own teams. In addition, we will provide demo's based on which both novice and expert users can quickly grasp what's going on, how they could replicate a replay of various known/captured Exploit Kits on their own systems, and high-level information on analyzing tens or hundreds of thousands of URLs per day for the existence of Exploit Kits using Cuckoo Sandbox.

  With a growing team of researchers & developers, Cuckoo Sandbox is becoming more mature by the month. We're always looking to improve it further (feedback from our community helps a lot here!) and are working on a number of novel features that will surely be widely adopted in the CERT community throughout the next years.

• Linking cyberespionage groups targeting victims in South Asia

  Daniel Lunghi and Jaromir Horejsi, TrendMicro

  Over the last few years, the security industry has tracked multiple threat actors targeting victims in South Asia. This started in 2013 with the "Hangover" report, and was followed by researches including "Snake in the Grass" in 2014, "Patchwork" and "Confucius" in 2016, "Bahamut" and "EHDevel" in 2017 and "Donot" in 2018. Some of these reports suggest that these attacks originate from India.

  The targets of these different threat actors are high-profile individuals from various mass media, retail, military, aerospace, banking and diplomatic organizations in the Middle East and South Asian region. The modus operandi of these groups, as well as their infrastructure, might seem unrelated at first, but we have been able to notice some connections after further analysis of the malicious documents, malware samples, phishing pages and other tools used by these groups. These connections may include the backend infrastructure, source code sharing, similar encryption keys and algorithms.

  In our research we will present some of these similarities, which let us think that these groups are somehow related, even being part of a larger structure.

• Promoting a global CSIRT Maturity framework for national CSIRTs & a case study of CSIRT Maturity in Japan

  Ichi Komura, NTT and Don Stikvoort, NCSC-NL

  CSIRT maturity and how to assess and improve that is of increasing importance worldwide. SIM3 is the most popular CSIRT maturity model, and has a global footprint. Using SIM3, ENISA has devised an approach that defines 3 stages of increasing maturity, and is applying this together with the 28 national CSIRTs of the European Union. Starting from SIM3 and the ENISA work, we have proposed to the GFCE (Global Forum on Cyber Expertise) to consolidate this to become a globally applicable CSIRT maturity framework, initially aimed at national CSIRTs - but easily adaptable to other kinds of CSIRTs as well. This project aims to deliver tangible results in the course of 2019. A strong cooperation with FIRST, ENISA, Open CSIRT Foundation and other significant players in this area (like ITU, CERT/CC and others) is part of the integral approach. We will explain the goals and how we aim to get there. Your feedback will be invited.

  Japan, where building CSIRTs is booming, serves as excellent case study for the application of SIM3. The number of the Japanese CSIRT community (NCA) members is over 320 and many teams joined the NCA in recent years.

  To improve member teams' maturity is one of the big challenges. The NCA uses SIM3 as a supporting tool to achieve this. Many NCA members are private companies, who don't always have sufficient resources to improve themselves. Such teams are evaluated by applying SIM3 in a different way from communities such as TF-CSIRT and ENISA: the "-1 level" is offered as option for all parameters. This allows the teams to choose which SIM3 parameters are not relevant for them at that moment in time. Also, no minimum requirements of SIM3 are checked initially.

  The SIM3 trial in Japan is explained, and the results are presented. A main finding is that SIM3 incorporates many valuable aspects that can help to improve CSIRTs.

• RIPE Atlas: legal, security and ethical aspects of running an IoT network

  Mirjam Kühne and Ivo Dijkhuis, RIPE NCC

  RIPE Atlas is a global active measurement infrastructure, maintained by the RIPE NCC. It is based on the voluntary contributions of thousands of probe hosts worldwide. In essence those RIPE Atlas probes are IoT devices that people place in their homes. We made some conscious ethical considerations in order to protect these probe hosts and we are strictly following certain design and security principles and best current practices. In this presentation we will present the ethical, security and legal aspects that are put in place in order to support and protect this shared responsibility between the RIPE NCC as the provider or the platform and the users.
