Good developers study documentation carefully and thoroughly understand their language. However, some people just want to code fast, break into things, and skip over the details. This workshop is for them.

Even if you've never programmed before, you can make simple attack tools in Go. We'll use a fun, CTF-style training environment. There are complete step-by-step instructions for the easier challenges, and harder challenges for those who are ready. You'll develop your own tools to perform port scanning, banner grabbing, login brute forcing, cracking password hashes, and encryption.

Students need a computer with a Web browser, and a credit card or bank account, so they can sign up for free Google Cloud services.
No other hardware or software is necessary.
All materials are freely available at samsclass.info and will remain available after the workshop ends.

Hands On Secure Code Review
Event locked in Sched to limit confusion, see registration to determine current session availability.
Event held offsite, location to be announced (NOT METREON!)
Registration at https://bsidessf.regfox.com/2020 REQUIRED (cannot be reserved with Sched)

A shortened version of Seth & Ken's Excellent Adventures in Secure Code Review. This workshop addresses common challenges in modern secure code review through hands on review of open source projects as brought by attendees. Seth will quickly introduce the Absolute AppSec Secure Code Review Framework and guide attendees in reviewing open source projects of their choosing using this framework.

Come practice your secure code review technique and learn from our past adventures in performing hundreds of code reviews and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. We will implement our methodology over the course of a couple of hours and perform security analysis of the chosen repositories to attempt to suss out security flaws, no matter the size of the code base, or the framework, or the language.

As a student you will be expected to bring a laptop, an IDE, and an open source project for review during the workshop. Seth will introduce the methodology, techniques, approaches, and tools used by Seth Law and Ken Johnson to understand code flows, trace user input, identify vulnerabilities, and effectively secure an application code base.

If This Then Hack: An Intro to DIY Cloud Security Automation with Python
Event locked in Sched to limit confusion, see registration to determine current session availability.
Event held offsite, location to be announced (NOT METREON!)
Registration at https://bsidessf.regfox.com/2020 REQUIRED (cannot be reserved with Sched)

Security engineers face the daily task of detection, responding, and remediating incidents in both cloud and on-premise environments. Recent high-profile breaches have highlighted that even the organizations we would expect to have fine-tuned and automated security programs often have critical blind spots. Automating your incident response and detection workflows into existing pipelines can save time and manual analyst efforts which result in faster resolution times. There are any number of vendor that will happily take your money, but we can start to build our own DIY alternative with just some artisanal Python and the tools we already have.

Our workshop will discuss the core principles of what it takes to build your own automation tools for cloud security, from detecting events to automatically remediating. We won't be using toy examples: we'll be using the security tools we have used in industry like Splunk and Jira to build realistic end-to-end automation workflows. Students in our workshop will learn how to integrate the following flow 1) Identify an event (in public cloud), 2) Produce and capture the details of the event in Splunk and create a ticket in Jira, 3) Automatically enrich this data and create the appropriate automated remediation response. These steps can be completed to eliminate manual overhead on detection in the cloud as well as proper delegation to the appropriate team (incident response team, compliance, engineering teams, or other). With the use of simple Python scripts students will learn how they can build a simple yet fundamental security automation system. 

The approach to building automation you will learn in this workshop is applicable to any kind of ticket-centric operations environment, not just security. We want to pull back on the curtain on ""security automation"" and show that it really isn't magic, it's just a bit of code in the right places.

Requirements:
Students should be comfortable with basic Python scripting (at a minimum, able to write functions, loops, and conditionals without consulting documentation) and should be familiar with security terminology. The student who stands to gain the most from this course is one with professional experience in security and an interest in developing new skills in applying programming to automate their work.

Threat Modeling Cloud Applications
Event locked in Sched to limit confusion, see registration to determine current session availability.
Event held offsite, location to be announced (NOT METREON!)
Registration at https://bsidessf.regfox.com/2020 REQUIRED (cannot be reserved with Sched)

Developers and security practitioners face challenges in securing their cloud applications. With applications moving to cloud environment, new threat vectors are introduced that change the attack surface of the application. As a result, threat modeling becomes a critical step in the software development process.

A comprehensive threat model will help teams to identify, manage, and communicate potential risks of their cloud applications; regardless of exploitability. A continuous threat modeling process will enable teams to measure the effectiveness of security controls by monitoring vulnerability trends across release cycles.

In this course attendees will learn fundamentals of threat modeling, creating a detailed Data Flow Diagram and mapping of possible threats in their application hosted on platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure etc. They will also brainstorm and formulate threat modeling practices that can be incorporated into any SDLC process.

A hands-on, beginner's introduction to web application security
Event locked in Sched to limit confusion, see registration to determine current session availability.
Event held offsite, location to be announced (NOT METREON!)
Registration at https://bsidessf.regfox.com/2020 REQUIRED (cannot be reserved with Sched)

This course is designed for anyone who has little to no knowledge about web application security, but wants to either (a) learn more about it; or (b) start developing the skillsets needed to be effective in testing web applications for security vulnerabilities.

This course will start from absolute zero, and aim to provide all the definitions, tooling, and guidance you will need to get started with web application security testing. Students of this course will leave the session with a comfortable understanding of some common web application vulnerability classes, how to identify them, what risks they pose, and how they could be exploited in the wild.

Nothing more than a functioning laptop is needed for this course. If you happen to be able to install a VM, that may prove to be helpful, but again the stated and explicit goal of this course is to leave no one behind, and to give everyone an opportunity to start learning an invaluable skillset that can be immensely helpful in advancing one's career, or just general understanding of how webapp vulns look and function. If you've ever been interested in web application security, this class is an excellent opportunity to start.

Do be aware that this is a fairly long class, and to get the most out of it, we strongly recommend staying engaged through the entirety of it. Also, be sure to ask questions - the goal is to make sure that you're enabled, not confused.

NOTE: as such, this class is not intended for advanced or intermediate web application security practitioners, as persons with those skillsets will likely find this class to be very basic in the level of depth and concepts covered.

Registration at https://bsidessf.regfox.com/2020 REQUIRED (cannot be reserved with Sched)

During this hands-on workshop we will introduce Zeek and the Elastic Stack and teach you how to use both tools together. We will focus on on Threat Hunting and Incident Response using Kibana and MITRE ATT&CK™. We will conclude with a capstone capture-the-flag exercise where you will be using Kibana and Zeek data to hunt real-world threats in modern APT scenarios. At the conclusion, we’ll review the scenarios, answer questions, and recognize our CTF winners.

Zeek (formerly Bro) is an open-source network security monitoring tool that SOCs use to correlate events and find relevant data. The Elastic SIEM is commonly used by security analysts to aggregate and analyze security events, including network security monitoring data. The integration between Zeek and Elastic allows defenders to easily ingest and analyze events on their network.

If you're new to Kubernetes, you might wonder about some of the things you've heard... does everything really run as root? Are there really no firewall rules? Well... yes. But you can fix that!

Once you get your Kubernetes deployments, services, and other resources set up, it’s tempting to take a break. But don’t stop with the default configurations—Kubernetes has a ton of built-in options and features you can use to improve your security.

This hands-on session covers many of the configurations you can use to make a Kubernetes app more secure. We’ll pick apart the security context together and run deployments with read-only root file systems, non-root users, and limited capabilities. Then we’ll dig into features like network policies and admission control, configs like resource limits, and practices like namespacing and consistent metadata. And, of course, we’ll learn how these help you deliver a more reliable and secure app, and will cover basic infrastructure security practices as well.

It would be best to have some basic Kubernetes experience, but you should be able to follow along with the provided examples and background discussion even if you haven't gotten your hands dirty before.

[Keynote] What's New or Not in 2020: Are we Making Progress on the Intractable Security Problems?
It's the end of the decade and time to look back on which parts of the mission of Information Security professionals have progressed and which are still just treading water. As we come together for the first BSidesSF of a new decade, have security programs generally improved their impact? Or do we wonder why we are still pushing the same boulders up the same hills?

OTR: Tears from The Cloud
Off The Record (unrecorded) "When ‘getting pwned’ doesn’t even fully describe what happened" When building your systems and infrastructure in the cloud, you should always consider the attack vectors that you open yourself up to and continually strive to proactively close them. It is common knowledge that when bringing up cloud computing resources you should implement controls such as preventing SSH logins as the root user, disabling password authentication for all users, and limiting which IP addresses can talk to the different services on your virtual machines, as well as requiring multifactor authentication for employees accessing cloud control panels. You can be fairly certain that an alarm would go off if an attacker was able to gain access, and that their access would be limited. But what happens if an attacker takes a different path and your infrastructure provider is compromised instead? Are your systems protected from that vector, and will your heuristics catch it? In this talk, we will tell a story, not from Netflix, but from the not too distant past around a successful targeted attack against a company using infrastructure providers as the vector. Details surrounding the methods used by the attacker will be shared, including the steps they took to attempt to cover their tracks. We will also look at how the attackers attempted to regain access after the initial vector was closed. Finally, we will look at what steps you can take to help mitigate the risks you incur if your infrastructure provider is compromised.
