HTTPS is Not Enough @pimterry
You Your Bank https://example.com Secure! HTTPS is not enough @pimterry
You Your Bank Me https://example.com http://example.com Secure! Insecure HTTPS is
not enough @pimterry
You Your Bank Me https://example.com https://exomple.com Secure! Secure! (but useless)
HTTPS is not enough @pimterry
Pre-HTTPS MitM ≈ HTTPS MitM @pimterry
How do you get to HTTPS? Pre-HTTPS MitM @pimterry
Enter a URL Securely do things Pre-HTTPS MitM @pimterry
Enter example.com Pre-HTTPS MitM Load http://example.com Redirected to https://example.com Securely
do things! @pimterry
Pre-HTTPS MitM Enter example.com Load http://example.com Hijack request, transparently proxy
it without the redirect, and do what you like. GAME OVER N O PE @pimterry
Pre-HTTPS MitM Load a page Securely do things Click a
link @pimterry
Pre-HTTPS MitM Load http://linking-site.com Click link to https://example.com Securely do
things! @pimterry
Pre-HTTPS MitM Load http://linking-site.com Click link to http://example.com Proxy rewrites
all links to HTTP Transparently proxy your request GAME OVER N O PE @pimterry
Any insecure step = Easy hijacking @pimterry
Is this really a thing? github.com/resin-io-playground/raspberry-pineapple @pimterry
Any insecure step = Easy hijacking @pimterry
PANIC @pimterry
Don’t trust HTTP-only sites with anything Check the URL and
certificate, constantly Install HTTPS Everywhere Use a VPN As a user? @pimterry
We need a secure web @pimterry
We need to disable HTTP @pimterry
Disabling HTTP in the browser @pimterry
HTTPS-only Features Disabling HTTP in the browser: @pimterry
Geolocation Service Workers (i.e. offline, notifications, sync) DeviceMotion WebRTC HTTP/2
HTTPS-Only Features @pimterry
Warnings on HTTP Disabling HTTP in the browser: @pimterry
@pimterry
Disabling HTTP for your site @pimterry
Free certificates Disabling HTTP for your site: @pimterry
@pimterry
Content Security Policy (CSP) Disabling HTTP for your site: @pimterry
Automatically switch URLs to HTTPS Content-Security-Policy: upgrade-insecure-requests @pimterry
Report switched URLs Content-Security-Policy: upgrade-insecure-requests; report-uri /report-csp; @pimterry
Report-only, for testing Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: upgrade-insecure-requests; report-uri /report-csp; @pimterry
Free reporting platform: report-uri.com @pimterry
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) Disabling HTTP for your site:
@pimterry
HTTP header for your server responses (ineffective basic example) Strict-Transport-Security:
max-age=3600 @pimterry
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31556926 Slightly better example @pimterry
Even better example Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31556926; includeSubDomains @pimterry
What about the first request? @pimterry
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31556926; includeSubDomains; preload Great example Then submit to hstspreload.org
@pimterry
Needs to be set on root domain (example.com) Required on
redirect domains too (example.net) Needs easily recognizable domains You’re committing to HTTPS forever Other gotchas @pimterry
We’re saved! @pimterry
Nobody uses it :-( @pimterry
Serve content with HTTPS only Use upgrade-insecure-requests Use HSTS, and
get preloaded Check other sites (securityheaders.io) and complain! Let’s build a secure web @pimterry
HTTPS is Not Enough @pimterry
