2. Who's this clown? ̣ — Security Engineer at Stripe — Infrastructure security at Etsy — Operations monkey at Puppet Labs — Was once retweeted by William Gibson! — basically, kind of a big deal ̣ https://twitter.com/skullmandible/status/411281851131523072 @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 2
3. Agenda — Intro (we're crushing this already) — Mac OS history and sadness — Malware reversing and how — 5 minute break — Discovering problems in the first place — Hardening? — Fin @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 3
4. Intro This is workshop, not an amzing slide deck, please throw any and all questions my way. PLEASE experiment, as hard as you can. This is not exhaustive, thankfully. @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 4
5. The VM It's nasty. It has no network adaptor on it, so can only harm itself. Requires VMware Fusion on a Mac, due to licensing (the trial is on the drive too) @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 5
6. but first, a li!le history @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 6
7. Once upon a time, macs looked like this @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 7
8. and this @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 8
9. macs are secure! @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 9
10. This is actually the grandparent of your mac @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 10

12. So what Ben? — NeXTSTEP originally released in 1989. — The Mach Kernel project ran from 1985 to 1994. (somewhat hyperbolic, but you see what I'm saying) @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 12
13. How scary? /* XXX this is _not_ designed to be fast */ /* wordexp is also rife with security "challenges", unless you pass it WRDE_NOCMD it *must* support subshell expansion, and even if you don't beause it has to support so much of the standard shell (all the odd little variable expansion options for example) it is hard to do without a subshell). It is probbably just plan a Bad Idea to call in anything setuid, or executing remotely. */ int wordexp(const char *__restrict__ words, wordexp_t *__restrict__ pwe, int flags) { /* cbuf_l's inital value needs to be big enough for 'cmd' plus about 20 chars */ size_t cbuf_l = 1024; char *cbuf = NULL; /* Put a NUL byte between each word, and at the end */ char *cmd = "/usr/bin/perl -e 'print join(chr(0), @ARGV), chr(0)' -- "; libc/gen/wordexp.c from the Apple FOSS mirror on github @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 13
14. So macs are not as secure as their marketing makes out. @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 14

43. OSXcollector Written in python by Yelp More of a forensics tool. Little more invasive say, my default dumps browser history. /usr/bin/python osxcollector.py spits out a tarball, inside that are system logs and a JSON report. @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 43

45. OSquery — built at Facebook (it scales) — cross platform (plan9, TOS, Xenix) — open source https://github.com/facebook/osquery/ — has a logo that makes you think of Gravatar @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 45
46. OSquery cont. — Kolide - Beautiful osquery management tool. — Doorman - Doorman, OSS tool for doing the same. — Envdb - Looks pretty nice (but I've not used it yet) These are for fleet deployments, as osquery is just a SQL REPL for your system. @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 46

50. Hardening @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 50
51. Step 1 Manage your macs! — Fleetsmith - Fantastic new MaaS offering — Chef/Puppet - needs no introduction — Munki - manage software installs, rather than just have them — Simian - Simian is an enterprise-class Mac OS X software deployment solution, buuuut it's Google — JSS Jamf - Is another alternative, I guess @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 51
52. Step 2 Just use Chrome — Pwn 2 Own's pricing scale — BrowserScope says so — Zerodium will pay you $150k for an exploit for Chrome, vs $80k for FreedomFox @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 52
53. Step 3 — Make sure Gatekeeper is set to "app store" or "app store & signed" only (now the default) @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 53
54. Step 3.5 — this doesn't solve homebrew, where you can just install whatever you wish [durazac~]% brew install sqlmap 1 ==> Downloading https://github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap/archive/1.1.10.tar.gz ==> Downloading from https://codeload.github.com/sqlmapproject/sqlmap/tar.gz/1.1.10 ######################################################################## 100.0% ! /usr/local/Cellar/sqlmap/1.1.10: 543 files, 10.3MB, built in 17 seconds @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 54
55. Step 4 More restrictions — Santa! - Santa is a binary whitelisting/blacklisting system for macOS @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 55
56. Hardening vs. reality You could make everyone in your company run OpenBSD on their laptop. You would go out of business very quickly. There's no good easy answer. ): @benjammingh for DevSecCon 2017 56
