This is a hand-on practical concentrated course on securing and attacking web and cloud APIs. APIs are everywhere nowadays: In web apps, embedded systems, enterprise apps, cloud environments and even IoT, and it is becoming increasingly necessary to learn how to defend, secure and attack API implementation and infrastructure. This training aims to engage you in creating secure modern APIs, while showing you both new and old attack vectors.

Syllabus

Defending and attacking Web APIs (REST, GraphQL..etc)
Attacking and securing AWS APIs and infrastructure.
Launching and mitigating modern Injection attacks (SSTI, RCE, SQLi, NoSQLi, Deserialization & object injection)
Deploying practical cryptography.
Securing passwords and secrets in APIs.
API authentication and authorization.
Targeting and defending API architectures (Serverless, web services, web APIs)
Securing development environments.

Attacking and Securing APIS (2021)

To achieve maximum stealth and obtain unabated access to the system, rootkits execute in kernel mode. This course focuses on the kernel interfaces (APIs), data structures and mechanisms that are exploited by rootkits to achieve their goals at every stage of their execution. Kernel security enhancements that have been progressively added from Windows 7 to the latest version of Windows are discussed along with some circumvention techniques. This advanced course provides a comprehensive end-to-end view of the modus-operandi of rootkits by taking an in-depth look at behind the scenes working of the Windows kernel and how these mechanisms are exploited by malware through hands-on labs and real-world case studies. Kernel security enhancements that have been progressively added to Windows are discussed along with some circumvention techniques. Attendees will study key techniques used by rootkits to understand the real-world applicability of these concepts for offensive and defensive purposes. This training is beneficial to anyone responsible for developing, detecting, analyzing, and defending against rootkits and other Windows kernel post-exploitation techniques including EPP/EDR software developers, anti-malware engineers, security researchers, red/blue/purple teamers. A special version of this training is also available for malware, rootkit forensics analysts where the focus is not on implementing rootkit functionality but rather on investigating rootkits using tools such as WinDBG and Volatility. This analyst version does not require attendees to have a programming background and contains topics related to rootkit detection and case studies.

User mode malware on Windows is ubiquitous and custom user mode implants are used regularly in red-team engagements. Knowledge of the latest malware techniques helps red teamers improve their custom tooling, malware analysts in taking apart malware, and anti-malware solution developers in designing behavioral solutions to detect malicious activity. The common theme amongst all Windows malware and implants is that they abuse the facilities provided by the Windows platform to achieve their objectives. Knowledge of the rich set of Windows APIs, understanding their usage in various stages of an implant, and leveraging them to detect and bypass various defenses in the system is essential for red and blue teamers. This training course takes attendees through a practical journey with a hands-on approach to teach them about the post-exploitation techniques used by PE file-based implants at every stage of their execution. Beneficial to both the offensive and the defensive side of the camp, the knowledge and hands-on experience gained in this training will help attendees with real-world red teaming engagements and in defending against both custom advanced persistent threat (APT) tooling and common-off-the-shelf (COTS) malware. Attendees will learn about how malware and implants interact with the latest version of Windows and how the different stages of malware abuse and exploit various components of Windows OS to achieve their goals and evade defenses.

Injection flaws have dominated web application vulnerability lists since time immemorial. And despite OWASP reducing their ranking from 1 to 3, they are still one of the most devastating web application vulnerabilities. Efforts have been made for years to secure applications against related attacks, from new frameworks to new defensive techniques. A lot has been done, but is it enough? This course enables you to walk through dozens of hacklabs and learn how – despite defensive efforts – injection flaws persist, with drastic effects on application security. Get into the attacker mindset for 2 days and deploy over 30 fresh and novel injection attacks via our state-of-the-art hacklabs. This practical course is packed with information and delivered by professional penetration testers, well-versed in web hacking from their years of experience in the wild. By the time you leave, you’ll understand how to deploy attacks using complex injection flaws. This course will be delivered virtually.

Ready to take bug hunting to a deeper level? Been tasked with reviewing source for SQL Injection, XSS, Access Control and other security flaws? Does the idea of reviewing this code leave you with heartburn? This course introduces a proven methodology and framework for performing a secure code review, as well as addressing common challenges in modern secure code review. Short circuit developing individual secure code review techniques by gleaning from Seth & Ken’s past adventures in performing hundreds of code reviews and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. We will share a proven methodology to perform security analysis of any source code repository and suss out security flaws, no matter the size of the code base, or the framework, or the language.
