1. @christine@ruby.social One does not simply add MFA Just like a walk into Mordor, good MFA is a journey
2. @christine@ruby.social What you will learn ✓ What is MFA ✓ How to secure your accounts ✓ What are the MFA types ✓ How to protect users and secure an application ✓ Potential testing steps ✓ MFA implementation best practices "Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. "
3. @christine@ruby.social Taking notes or pictures 📝 Asking foolish questions 🤔 christine-seeman.com/talks Things you don't need to worry about "There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful"
7. @christine@ruby.social Back to the beginning To when you signed up for

11. @christine@ruby.social What was the hacker up to? Calling your mobile provider
12. @christine@ruby.social On the phone with your mobile provider... Using social engineering
13. @christine@ruby.social Now they have all the access... Sim swap/sim hijacking

17. “ @christine@ruby.social We learned that SMS-based authentication is not nearly as secure as we would hope, and the main attack was via SMS intercept Christopher Slowe Reddit chief technology of fi cer and founding engineer August 2018
18. @christine@ruby.social What is authentication? The process of verifying that someone or something is the actual entity that they claim to be. - OWASP.org (these people know what they are talking about when it comes to security)
19. @christine@ruby.social ... but what are the different factors of auth? ✔Factor is knowledge (i.e. your password) ✔Is the other method choice - Possession (token/soft token) - Identity (biometrics)
20. @christine@ruby.social 2FA = 2SV = MFA = 2F? = ??? What about all those other acronyms...
21. @christine@ruby.social Why didn't MFA help? •SMS was used •For most users MFA won’t even be enabled
22. @christine@ruby.social • Most common • Most compromised • Not recommended by NIST since 2016 SMS
23. @christine@ruby.social If SMS wasn't bad enough •SS7 (network shared by every telecom) has it's own vulnerabilities •Text messages that are sent can be intercepted
24. @christine@ruby.social Let's figure out all the ways to hack it... 1. Sim-swap (aka what just happened to us) 2. Port-out scam 3. Brute force on the application itself 4. Exploit SS7 weakness
25. @christine@ruby.social • Associated with certain authorized devices • Not visible on a locked phone screen Push Based
26. @christine@ruby.social … Push Based has major drawbacks too September 15th, 2022
27. @christine@ruby.social Security Questions • Convient • Just an extension of your first factor, password (knowledge) 🤨 ❓ ❓
28. @christine@ruby.social Email • Convient • Should only be used with verified emails • Less Common, may be in use but not referred to as 2FA
29. @christine@ruby.social Time-based One Time Password aka app based aka soft token • Authy • Google Authenticator • 1Password TOTP
30. @christine@ruby.social Token based Physical keys that can auth • FIDO2/WebAuthn • USB drive • near- fi eld communication • Many use U2F (Universal 2nd Factor)
31. @christine@ruby.social OTP vs U2F
32. @christine@ruby.social OTP U2F • User has physical device • Strong security from public key cryptography • No personal information associated with a key • Users type in codes • Set up and provision required • Secrets stored, providing a single point of attack
33. What would you change now?
34. @christine@ruby.social Secure Your Account 1. Use long password/passphrase 2. Secure with alternate authentication method 3. Use a VOIP number 4. Don't reuse passwords 5. Pin/password protect phone provider Keep on being @awesome
35. @christine@ruby.social But wait... Now you are the developer at jiffygram (an insta rival) How do you secure your users from all the bad stuff out there?
36. @christine@ruby.social • Developers • Designers • Infrastructure • Managers • Not just info sec! Security is everyone's job

39. @christine@ruby.social Back to your security basics 1. Strong passwords/passphrase 💪 2. Don't make them be rotated 🔁 3. Store the hash securely 🔒 4. Only store sensitive data that you need ⛔
40. https://xkcd.com/936/ @christine@ruby.social
41. @christine@ruby.social Why this helps •Greater entropy = harder to brute force the password •Passwords should be hard to guess, but easy to remember •Extra length + randomness allows for more entropy (strength)
44. Do this 😄
46. @christine@ruby.social
47. Not this 😞
48. ⬆ that is 6 a's
49. ⬆ that is just six aaaaaa that ended up working
50. @christine@ruby.social Let's talk about password hash encryption • Just an algorithm that takes data and produces fixed-size output • Some hashes are stronger then others • MD5/SHA-1 = 👎 • SHA-256/512-bit SHA-2= 👍 • If possible with performance, use an adaptive one-way function
51. @christine@ruby.social Strong recommended adaptive functions Argon2 PBKDF2 Scrypta Bcrypt Head on over to OWASP.org for more details
52. “ @christine@ruby.social …we made the decision to rotate customer accounts on May 5, 2022, out of an abundance of caution due to not all of the customers having multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled at the time and potential for password reuse. Bob Wise Heroku General Manager and Salesforce
53. @christine@ruby.social ...a user lost their phone/app access/token • Recovery codes to the rescue! 🦹 • Allows access to application • Shown once, used once
54. Choose your path DIY BUY
55. @christine@ruby.social If you choose to BUY •Choose your vendor wisely •What factor choices are available? •What are your authorization and authentication needs?
56. @christine@ruby.social If you choose DIY More flexibility More security surface area to cover More control over the user experience
57. @christine@ruby.social Rate limiting prevents brute force attacks @tech_christine
58. @christine@ruby.social Rate limiting prevents brute force attacks
59. @christine@ruby.social Use a truncated exponential back-off algorithm
60. @christine@ruby.social What is an exponential back-off algorithm?
61. @christine@ruby.social Get user buy-in
62. @christine@ruby.social
63. @christine@ruby.social ✓ Make it easy opt in ✓ Make it easy to add ✓ Make it visible ✓Make it flexible
64. @christine@ruby.social Not this 😢 American Express OpenShift Net fl ix Pandora Pinterest Spotify Target Best Buy State Farm AT&T Twitter (well not right now) 🚫 MFA
65. @christine@ruby.social • For editing/removing of MFA require credentials • If authentication does fail, be generic in error response More authentication
66. Do this "Login failed - invalid user ID or password" 😙
67. Not this "Login for User awesome: invalid password" "Login failed, invalid user ID" "Login failed; account disabled" "Login failed; this user is not active" 😖
68. @christine@ruby.social Are we doing all we can to protect our users?
69. @christine@ruby.social
70. @christine@ruby.social Users with the most amount of privilege, 2FA is a requirement not optional
71. @christine@ruby.social
72. @christine@ruby.social MFA can help but... • Can only improve security if you are following secure password practices • Some MFA methods are more secure then others
