OWASP Limerick Chapter Meeting
Event Information
Description
OWASP Ireland Limerick Chapter Meeting will take place at Limerick City Council (City Hall, Merchants Quay) next February 21st from 7pm to 9pm. Practical aspects of Information Security and Malware Analysis will be discussed, including the following:
-
Zombie Browsers, spiced with Rootkit Extensions - presented by Balázs Zoltán
As malicious browser extensions currently are not detected by antivirus products, they are able to do enormous harm - not only by compromising one’s personal online activities, personal data and accounts, but even his/her business data. Hardly any anti-malware product offers real protection against these attacks, and even mobile phones might be vulnerable.
- OWASP Limerick/Munster Chapter Raffle
- Free ticket for upcoming OWASP Limerick AppSec Training Day
- Two representative Information Security books
- Malware (zero-day) Analysis in an Operational Environment - presented by Richard Costelloe
This presentation reviews a response-methodology to a multi-stage, 'zero-day' malware attack against a corporate information-systems network. Included in this analysis are detailed explanations of evasive techniques such as social-engineering, spear-phishing, SMTP spoofing, HTTP and JavaScript obfuscation, binary code-packing, password and data harvesting, data encryption and exfiltration, file-droppers, process-injection and bot-nets. Included will be an overview of defensive-methodologies and processes such as system and network hardening and monitoring, data de-obfuscation, decoding and decryption, static and dynamic analysis of malware code and binaries and forensic best practises.
