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. 🔍

#Signal #Developer Explains Why Early Encrypted Messaging Tools Flopped
#MoxieMarlinspike criticized early #encryption software's user-unfriendly design at #BlackHat2024, admitting he and others initially failed to consider non-technical users' needs. Speaking with #BlackHat founder #JeffMoss, He said tools like #PrettyGoodPrivacy (#PGP) wrongly assumed users would adopt complex practices like keyservers and signing keys over dinner. "We were just wrong," Marlinspike said

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.
