Corelight’s NOC team faced a unique challenge at Black Hat USA 2024—detecting SSHAMBLE, a new SSH scanner introduced by HD Moore. By tapping into existing logs and Zeek metadata, we identified the tool’s fingerprint in real-time.
What happened next?
✔️ Real-time detection.
✔️ Discovering threats using old logs. ✅✅
✔️ Zeek metadata making sense of encrypted traffic. 🔍

Orange Tsai's Black Hat USA 2024 research revealed architectural vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server, identifying three types of "Confusion Attacks" exploiting inconsistencies between Httpd modules.
These led to 9 new vulnerabilities and 20 exploitation techniques, including bypassing access controls and arbitrary file access outside the web root. The findings highlight challenges in balancing backward compatibility with security in long-standing open-source projects.
Akamai proactively collaborated with Tsai before his presentation, implementing preemptive protections against these vulnerabilities in their App & API Protector web application firewall service.
