Sanitizing PCAPs

Fun and games until someone uses IPv6 or TCP
Hall 6
Jasper Bongertz
Sanitizing and anonymizing PCAP or PCAPng files is often necessary to be able to share information about attack vectors, security problems or incidents in general. While it may seem simple to replace IP addresses or ports there are still quite a number of network packet details that are hard to replace. This technical talk will shed a light on where those troublemakers are encountered and how to get around them.
When sanitizing/anonymizing PCAPs (or the newer, better, but also much more complex PCAPng network capture file format) there are a ton of problems to run into: Replacement need to be consistent, Checksums need to be recalculated sometimes but now always, and IPv6 has dependencies to MAC addresses that need to be considered as well. Additionally, protocols may be stacked on top of each other, tunneling IPv4 over IPv4 or IPv6 over IPv4, adding complexity to the replacement process. And finally, sanitizing TCP payloads is a certifiable nightmare because you never quite know what you're looking at, and the data segments may require reassembly/unpacking before you can do anything. It's easy to break sequence numbers, unless every replacement is exactly the same size as the original value. This talk will take a closer look at some of the typical problems that come up when sanitizing/anonymizing network packet captures, and at tools that can help with getting reasonable results.

Unser Vortrag demonstriert einen PLC-only Wurm. Der PLC-Wurm kann selbstständig ein Netzwerk nach Siemens Simatic S7-1200 Geräten in den Versionen 1 bis 3 durchsuchen und diese befallen. Hierzu ist keine Unterstützung durch PCs oder Server erforderlich. Der Wurm „lebt“ ausschließlich in den PLCs.

Key-Loggers are cool, really cool. It seems, however, that every conceivable aspect of key-logging has already been covered: from physical devices to hooking techniques. What possible innovation could be left in this field?

For years SCADA StrangeLove team speaks about vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems. Now we want to show by example of railway the link between information security and industrial safety and demonstrate how a root access gained in a few minutes can bring to naught all the years of efforts that were devoted to the improvement of fail-safety and reliability of the ICS system. Railroads is a complex systems and process automation is used in different areas: to control power, switches, ...
