you doing? Thanks for, uh, thanks for coming out to our talk today. Uh, Mo 27.35s - 30.81s | Wireless, Mo Problems, modular wireless security systems and the data analytics at 31.03s - 33.73s | the Packet Hacking Village. Welcome. Uh, I'm Jeff Horvath from Alsatian Consulting. Uh, 33.73s - 39.07s | presenting with me today is Winston Tam from Uplinks LLC. Hello. So tell you guys a little 39.07s - 42.61s | bit about me. I did 13 years in the army as an intelligence officer. I did 10 of those 42.61s - 47.65s | years in special operations units. Uh, once I got out of the military, I started Alsatian 47.65s - 51.35s | Consulting. Uh, and there's our website if you ever want to check us out. We do cyber 51.35s - 56.23s | security, uh, digital signature reduction, personal data protection to private sector 56.25s - 60.85s | and public sector individuals. Uh, I have a BA in political science from Drexel 60.85s - 64.69s | University. I have a master's in information security engineering from the Sands 64.69s - 68.89s | Institute. And with that I got 10 GAAC certifications and there's my analyst ID so you 68.89s - 73.97s | can prove that I'm not a liar. Uh, I'm a huge wireless enthusiast and I have two German 73.97s - 80.41s | shepherds, a 13 year old girl named Bell and a three year old boy named Gunner. Uh, 80.41s - 85.15s | hey everybody, my name's, uh, Winston. Uh, I am a, uh, I work in software development with 85.17s - 89.47s | my company, uh, Uplinks. Uh, I spent eight years in the Navy, uh, for those special 89.47s - 93.11s | operations. Uh, during that time I was a network engineer, pen tester, and a red 93.11s - 98.11s | teamer. Uh, I also did like three concurrent years as a commercial pen tester for banks, 99.49s - 103.89s | ISPs, and, uh, funny enough, like an Indian reservation. They get like a .gov domain. 103.89s - 108.89s | That's kind of cool. Um, yeah, I do, uh, DIY tinkering, um, love 3D printing, uh, have a 110.33s - 115.13s | lot of projects, a bunch of expired certs I don't care about. Uh, I'm a proud Bengal 115.15s - 120.69s | cat dad. Uh, I stopped playing factorial. I switched

Uh, I'm a proud Bengal 115.15s - 120.69s | cat dad. Uh, I stopped playing factorial. I switched over to RimWorld and, uh, but I'm 120.69s - 126.49s | still, yeah, I know, I know. Yeah. And, uh, I'm a decent rock climber. Uh, and yeah, 126.49s - 127.23s | that's how I spend my time. 129.69s - 133.53s | So let's talk about why we did this, why, uh, the impetus behind this, this whole 133.53s - 137.49s | project and me being a huge wireless nerd. Uh, I wanted to collect large swaths of 137.49s - 140.67s | data. I want to collect all of the, all of the channels, all of the packets, get all 140.67s - 144.77s | of the things. Uh, and my initial thought for this was, okay, how many adapters can 144.79s - 149.29s | I actually put onto one computer? Can I just do an all in one situation? And if I can, 149.29s - 153.23s | how physically big is that and how much power is that going to take? And what I found 153.23s - 157.97s | was that that then creates a huge issue with form factor because in order to put the 157.97s - 161.87s | requisite amount of cards that we have displayed here on

Uh, so there's form factor issues 166.11s - 169.81s | that were power concerns with it, with getting enough power to, to have that and 169.81s - 173.45s | actually have it be kind of portable, uh, number of peripheral devices, right? The 173.47s - 176.99s | more things you add, the more the operating system has to take care of and has to keep 176.99s - 180.59s | track of. So the more things you add, the more Ram you have, and eventually you have 180.59s - 185.63s | this incredibly powerful system that really can only do about one or two things. Um, and 185.63s - 189.31s | with all that collection, even if we did get that to work, it still has a large amount 189.31s - 194.23s | of data. I mean, think about how much wifi is flying around white right now and how 194.23s - 199.35s | much, uh, how much data in a one hour run you can get if you're listening to every 199.35s - 203.85s | single channel. So we had a

So we had a lot of large amounts of data that were, were choking my 203.85s - 206.93s | analytic tools. I couldn't put it into Google earth. I couldn't put it into 206.93s - 210.97s | another app called QGIS. I couldn't put it into wire shark because they were just 210.97s - 215.89s | too big and I would end up either having to strip out data and miss things or I 215.89s - 220.57s | would end up having, um, you know, an incomplete amount of data. So my solution 220.57s - 224.13s | to that is building the signal processing and reconnaissance kit yellow, which yes, 224.13s - 227.13s | I know it looks a little orange, but I really wanted the last letter to be a Y 227.13s - 230.59s | and I couldn't think of any kind of tech thing that started with Y. So that's why it 230.59s - 234.99s | ends in Y and that's why I'm calling that yellow. Um, it's a modular wireless 234.99s - 238.83s | collection. Each Raspberry Pi is set to do a different band of the wireless band, 238.83s - 243.71s | uh, frequency. Uh, it also do Bluetooth BLE.

Each Raspberry Pi is set to do a different band of the wireless band, 238.83s - 243.71s | uh, frequency. Uh, it also do Bluetooth BLE. Um, with these Android phones, it 243.71s - 248.39s | will do, um, cellular parameters. So what tower you're on, what frequencies you're 248.39s - 252.39s | talking to the cell network on, how good or how bad of service you have, how far 252.39s - 255.19s | you are from the tower. Because again, I'm a huge wireless nerd and that stuff 255.19s - 261.09s | really interests me. Uh, it's got 13 alpha NEH cards, 13, uh, media tech alpha 261.09s - 266.83s | cards, one wifi six card because there really isn't that much wifi six and me 266.83s - 272.07s | being a self funded guy, I'm, uh, not going to waste money buying, uh, chips 272.07s - 275.57s | that I'm, that just aren't going to get used. Uh, and then there are five new 275.57s - 281.51s | like SDRs running, uh, looking for RTL 433 compatible devices. Uh, again, this 281.53s - 285.27s | things are running on three individual Raspberry Pi fives, uh, four Android 285.27s - 288.55s | phones and the Android phones are running, uh, wiggle and also G net track 288.55s - 293.29s | pro. And then I bagged,

And then I bagged, bagged it all up into these REI trailgate gear cubes and 293.29s - 299.79s | then put all of that into this portable REI trailgate gear bin. So why did I make 299.79s - 304.17s | it modular? Well, one, we talked earlier about the memory requirements for having 304.17s - 308.67s | a lot of devices. If I distribute those devices across multiple, multiple, uh, 308.69s - 314.37s | computers, multiple, um, pies, I can then, uh, my RAM requirements go down 314.37s - 318.07s | because Raspberry Pis have been able to run 13 wireless cards simultaneously 318.07s - 321.61s | ever since the Raspberry Pi two. So the Raspberry Pi five is more than enough 321.61s - 326.31s | power to handle that much, that much traffic. So we distributed amongst 326.31s - 330.05s | multiple devices. Uh, I don't have a need for live processing. I don't need to 330.05s - 333.49s | see my data come in. I'm going to do all of my analytics on the backend when I 333.49s - 337.79s | have everything merged together. Uh, so I don't need to set alerts. I don't need 337.81s - 340.61s | to have

I don't need to have anything. This is all just a fire and 340.61s - 345.89s | forget headless collection system. Uh, this also reduces bottleneck because now 345.89s - 350.03s | I don't have all this stuff feeding into one device. It still has to keep track 350.03s - 353.19s | of all the other, all the other devices and all of the other peripherals that 353.19s - 357.37s | are attached to it. Uh, that also, uh, allows for a little bit of more 357.37s - 361.13s | robustness because if I have an issue with a collected file, if I have an 361.13s - 365.21s | issue with a collected database, uh, I may lose that entire day's run. I may 365.23s - 369.47s | lose that entire day's session. So now, now I have it distributed amongst 369.47s - 372.77s | different devices. Uh, if something happens to one of them, I still have 372.77s - 377.01s | collection from the other two. Uh, this also by dividing it up like this, 377.01s - 380.41s | creates smaller files, which are much more manageable. Uh, it's scalable. I 380.41s - 384.01s | can, as

I 380.41s - 384.01s | can, as I become more interested in other types of wireless technology, I 384.01s - 389.25s | just build a new pie and then we build a new, uh, a new ingest into it. Uh, so 389.25s - 392.59s | show you what some of that looks like. And I've got two examples here for 392.61s - 398.57s | single device characterization and AP characterization. And because this is 398.57s - 407.20s | not my first Defcon, I'm not doing it live. So what we have here is, uh, this, 407.20s - 411.64s | the sample dashboard for, uh, signal devices. And we have the OUI of the 411.64s - 415.08s | devices that it sees time of day analysis about when those devices are 415.08s - 418.18s | active day of week. And I did all my collection on a Tuesday. So that's why 418.18s - 422.92s | it's all in one, one pot, uh, probed SSIDs for client devices. So what wifi 422.92s - 426.14s | networks are they looking for? What access points that they've been seen on? 426.16s - 430.46s | What protocols have been collected? And this is a video. This is not a live 430.46s -

There we go. We got the, uh, layers and the, uh, 436.74s - 440.86s | types of, um, types of protocols that we got collected. And this is all from, 440.88s - 445.34s | uh, T shark with wire shark. Uh, we got MDNS device names. We've got DHTB 445.34s - 450.14s | client names and operating system. We have user agent strings. We have MDNS 450.14s - 453.52s | information about the actual thing. Uh, and this is all from unencrypted 453.52s - 457.64s | wireless networks that are collected with Kismet that, uh, packet glass 457.64s - 462.68s | actually will, will take out and, uh, customize and, and contextualize. So 462.68s - 465.50s | that's what it can show for single devices. When we talk about access 465.50s - 469.92s | points, uh, when we talk about that, uh, here we've got dots on a map. This 469.92s - 474.76s | from a drive that I took in, uh, Washington DC. Uh, here we got the top 474.76s - 480.06s | values of the access points, their encryption, their channel, uh, their 480.06s - 488.83s | bandwidth, uh, their capabilities,

And then again, we get into more information about 492.83s - 496.83s | the network itself. So again, the chip manufacturer, uh, the, the BCID with 496.83s - 501.31s | the OUI lookup, the SSID list of the SSIDs we've seen, what the router 501.31s - 505.03s | gateway IP addresses, subnet mask, DNS server information that the router is 505.05s - 512.58s | giving up, uh, in an unencrypted network. And there's also support for 802.11 512.58s - 515.90s | H, uh, the country code, country settings. So I can see what kind of 515.90s - 520.78s | country a, or what kind of frequencies of devices is using, uh, what the WPS 520.78s - 525.10s | Wi-Fi protected setup information is about the manufacturer, about the, uh, 525.10s - 528.90s | type of device, what clients are associated with it, uh, all kinds of 528.90s - 532.50s | information, uh, related to the operation of that network.

and it scrolls down and you can see 488.83s - 492.83s | there's lots of things. And then again, we get into more information about 492.83s - 496.83s | the network itself. So again, the chip manufacturer, uh, the, the BCID with 496.83s - 501.31s | the OUI lookup, the SSID list of the SSIDs we've seen, what the router 501.31s - 505.03s | gateway IP addresses, subnet mask, DNS server information that the router is 505.05s - 512.58s | giving up, uh, in an unencrypted network. And there's also support for 802.11 512.58s - 515.90s | H, uh, the country code, country settings. So I can see what kind of 515.90s - 520.78s | country a, or what kind of frequencies of devices is using, uh, what the WPS 520.78s - 525.10s | Wi-Fi protected setup information is about the manufacturer, about the, uh, 525.10s - 528.90s | type of device, what clients are associated with it, uh, all kinds of 528.90s - 532.50s | information, uh, related to the operation of that network. Again, all 532.50s - 536.34s | passively collected because I can collect all of the Wi-Fi's with, uh, 536.34s - 541.84s | with the Sparky box. So I'm going to turn it over to Winston. He's going to 541.84s - 544.68s | tell you about the ones and zeros behind it, all that actually make those 544.68s - 545.88s | pretty dots up here on a map. 546.60s - 553.99s | All right, everybody. So, uh, yeah, what, yeah, let's try it. Let's get this, 553.99s - 560.98s | uh, how do you blow this up? Do I doesn't look like it. There you go. Hey, 561.00s - 565.98s | took a second. Cool. Thanks. All right. So, uh, yeah, he collected a lot of 565.98s - 571.58s | data. Um, and a lot of them were geo data. And, uh, I'm just going to go 571.60s - 575.64s | over the specs, the planning and kind of the execution of it. But overall, I 575.64s - 579.90s | kind of realized over the course of a conversation at a bar that, uh, this is 579.90s - 583.24s | a, uh, geo wireless processing hub from a multiple software. 585.80s - 589.44s | So, like I said, uh, we kind of were just having a, uh, a chat, just 589.44s - 593.04s | drinking.

And, uh, he was telling me about all his wireless problems. Uh, 593.04s - 596.20s | and, uh, you know, and two and a half hours later I was like, yeah, hold my 596.20s - 601.61s | beer. Let me, let me do this. And I signed on to do that. So the objective 601.61s - 605.17s | is to kind of like put dots on maps, right? Um, Jeff is doing everything in 605.17s - 610.11s | the number one column over there. He's collecting it from Kismet wiggle, um, 610.13s - 613.75s | arrow dump, a couple other formats. I'll mention more later. Um, so pretty 613.75s - 617.31s | much all my responsibility is in the number two section, the analytics 617.31s - 621.11s | platform. Um, at this point, as he was telling me all about it, I've kind of 621.11s - 627.27s | had one in mind. Um, spoiler alert, it's a, it's elk. And, um, the, the goal 627.27s - 630.51s | is to make it easy for him to put a dots on maps, um, pretty much change 630.51s - 636.31s | up maps or even visualization if he needs to. So like I

So like I was mentioning 636.31s - 639.75s | earlier, these are the type of different formats that he mentioned. Um, but 639.75s - 642.51s | just to give you an idea, the files I'll be actually be dealing with were 642.51s - 649.63s | like.kismets.tsv, SQLite, CAP, CSVs. Uh, maybe not everything, uh, needs to 649.63s - 653.03s | be pre-processed, but, um, as I was working on this, I was realizing I kind 653.03s - 656.47s | of have to consolidate everything down to one single format, uh, that would 656.47s - 663.21s | work with elk. So what is elk? Um, so overall elk is just this, uh, open 663.21s - 669.31s | source-ish. Um, it's, it's a big asterisk there. Um, uh, analytics 669.31s - 673.89s | platform, uh, it does real-time data collection. Um, E stands for Elastic 673.89s - 679.11s | Search, L is Logstash, K is Kibana. Um, but what you really care about is the 679.11s - 682.83s | ingestion order is actually, uh, from Logstash, that's where the data comes 682.83s - 687.79s | in. Uh, Logstash forwards it over to Elastic Search into indexes, uh, where 687.79s - 691.95s | you will perform

Um, and so when you can actually look up, 695.17s - 697.85s | uh, do the searching later, uh, and Kibana is where you do the 697.85s - 704.63s | visualization. So right out of the box, elk doesn't really do what we need it 704.63s - 707.83s | to do. It doesn't know what a Kismet file is.

Um, 714.43s - 717.83s | for example, maybe coming from Wiggle, we have something like called Trilat, a 717.83s - 721.11s | field called Trilat, and coming from Kismet, we have something called 721.37s - 725.69s | Latitude. Uh, we need to somehow let Elasticsearch know, Hey, uh, these guys 725.69s - 729.45s | are the same thing. This is the same type of geo data. Um, they also have 729.49s - 732.97s | different data structure for all of these, uh, files coming in. Uh, and 732.97s - 737.33s | lastly, um, the first

So, 742.01s - 748.12s | uh, let's, let's do a free version of that. So this is a little diagram I 748.12s - 752.76s | drew up, um, to kind of like handle the whole solution. Uh, the right side is, 752.78s - 756.38s | uh, everything you saw, uh, it's containerized, uh, with Docker. Uh, in 756.38s - 760.90s | this case, we're just using Docker compose. And, uh, we also added the, a, 760.92s - 765.14s | a map, a little map server on the right side there. Um, on the left-hand side 765.14s - 768.74s | is pretty much where most of the pre-processing happens. We're, uh, using 768.74s - 773.78s | a Python script to just handle everything. Uh, and yeah, and we have 773.78s - 781.43s | like three directories that will, uh, kind of go over in a little bit. So 782.25s - 787.13s | the work ahead of us is pretty much to have one, uh, stand up a copy of Elk, 787.29s - 791.97s |

And in five, we need 795.09s - 798.57s | somewhere, uh, even if we can put it on a coordinate space, some kind of 798.57s - 801.81s | mapping on the background to show, Hey, where are, where on the map are we? 802.09s - 804.77s | Cause you can have coordinate systems, but it doesn't necessarily have to 804.77s - 808.41s | translate to a map that we're, uh, you know, what you can put anything you 809.07s - 818.13s | want behind there. All right. So great news about Elk. It already came pretty 818.13s - 822.59s | much pre-assembled, right? Uh, if you look for Docker compose for Elk, um, 822.59s - 825.31s | they've already made it super easy. Easiest thing you ever do is just 825.31s - 828.23s | download it. Docker compose up deep. You have it up and running, but like I 828.23s - 832.25s | said, it doesn't do anything yet. Um, but I do want to give like huge props 832.25s

Um, I'm pretty 836.19s - 842.08s | sure that's actually the first party, uh, GitHub project for them. All right. 842.10s - 845.82s | So talking a little bit about converting the files into a compatible format. Um, 845.86s - 850.24s | so like I said, I decided to do this in a Python script, uh, outside of, uh, 850.26s - 855.14s | the Elk stack. Um, so we have a ingest folder and index folder and an archive 855.14s - 858.58s | folder. We're pretty much dumping all of the data that we collected into an 858.58s - 863.08s | ingest folder where the Python script can be monitoring it. Um, and we can be 863.08s - 867.54s | monitoring for like Kismet files, SQL files or whatnot. Um, and we kind of 867.54s - 871.70s | chose it for the, uh, the least amount of work that Jeff had to do. Um, so 871.70s - 874.96s | pretty much, uh, as soon as he's exporting it, we want to have all the 874.96s - 878.88s | default settings. So, uh, for, I think wiggle, it

So, uh, for, I think wiggle, it might be as something as 878.88s - 882.92s | simple as like backup dot SQL lite. All right. So, uh, the search pattern I'm 882.92s - 887.52s | looking for then as backup dot, you know, star SQL lite, um, for the Python 887.52s - 890.88s | script. Uh, if I have to convert it down, then I'll convert it down to a 890.88s - 895.52s | Jason. And, uh, if I don't have to, I pretty much just pass it along from a 895.52s - 899.44s | TSV or CSP and move it right along. Um, for the Jason's there are, there is a 899.44s - 904.30s | little kind of like a, uh, log stash or elastic search ism, which is you 904.30s - 909.14s | pretty much have to convert all Jason's into a single line, uh, per entry. Uh, 909.14s - 915.42s | and just for, uh, elastic search efficiency reasons. Uh, so you, there is 915.42s - 919.22s | a multi-line format you can do, um, but that like, honestly, do you want to be 919.22s - 925.06s | less efficient? So here's an example of how we might, uh, convert it from 925.06s -

might be as something as 878.88s - 882.92s | simple as like backup dot SQL lite. All right.

Um, and, uh, we're going to just run this command. Uh, 935.46s - 938.14s | yeah, these are prefields. So this is kind of like slightly of a destructive 938.14s - 942.60s | editing. This is also why we also back up the originals. Um, but these are the 942.60s - 946.44s | fields that Jeff told me, Hey, this is what I need. Great. Awesome. You could, 946.44s - 950.24s | Hey, I say select star and grab everything. Uh, but if you're not really 950.24s - 954.48s | needing to, uh, because the amount of data we're dealing with, we really want 954.48s - 961.06s | to just like cut down on size where we can. And same thing for Kismet as well. 961.08s - 964.80s | Uh, we're also dumping it out into a Jason file. And if it has a PCAP file, 964.80s - 969.00s | if, uh, we can like dump it out into a PCAP NG.

It's not really designed for this like individual file 981.00s - 985.04s | ingestion. So, uh, what I decided to do was just have T shark actually 985.04s - 989.24s | converted back from PCAP also into Jason. And that's also another step where we 989.26s - 993.14s | can do more filtering down so we can remove data that has absolutely, uh, 993.18s - 996.02s | nothing to do with us. Because at first I was like, yeah, let's keep all the 996.02s - 1000.14s | data. Uh, I think we wound up filling up that, what we fill up a two terabyte 1000.14s - 1004.02s | drive. Yeah. Like in, in like a single session. So that was like, well, that's 1004.02s - 1007.38s | the, let's not do that. Um, so yeah, we started looking for other types of 1007.38s - 1014.46s | traffics and things that we specifically wanted. So to the, yeah, the next part

ran into a little tricky thing. I tried using packet beat and, uh, packet 973.84s - 977.16s | B is really, it feels like it's more designed for any kind of like streaming 977.48s - 981.00s | or network monitoring.

So to the, yeah, the next part 1014.46s - 1019.06s | is then we had to, uh, tag and normalize the data. Right. So even though we bring 1019.08s - 1022.80s | it into Logstash, uh, so we moved it over from pre-processing into Logstash. 1022.80s - 1027.12s | Now Logstash kind of needs a way to go, okay, what am I doing with this? So right 1027.12s - 1030.76s | off the bat, we're using the file plugin, uh, and then for filtering, this is 1030.76s - 1035.00s | where I was talking about earlier. Um, this is how we let it know, Hey, uh, or 1035.00s - 1040.44s | start transforming from if Wiggle calls it, uh, latitude or, uh, and Kismet 1040.44s - 1046.36s | calls it, uh, I don't know, try long or try lat or whatever. Right. Uh, we're 1046.38s - 1049.06s | trying to give it a way to say, Hey, we're going to want consolidate all of 1049.06s - 1053.22s | this data type into one single naming field or a single field. Um, so that 1053.22s - 1056.74s | Elasticsearch knows how to use it. Um, and then, yeah, in the output, 1056.78s - 1062.46s | obviously we're just

And now that we are 1062.46s - 1065.62s | actually in Elasticsearch, we need to tell Elasticsearch, okay, cool. Within 1065.62s - 1070.18s | this index, um, it doesn't, even though we called it say location, right? It 1070.18s - 1073.70s | doesn't really know what location is yet. So here's where we actually define, 1073.82s - 1076.18s | Hey, we called something, we made something called location and we're 1076.18s - 1079.80s | going to define it into a geopoint. Um, now geopoint is something that's 1079.80s - 1083.20s | native to Elasticsearch. So it knows how to use that data. Um, because we 1083.20s - 1085.78s | gave it a lat and a long, um, and it looks at it, it's like, Oh, cool. This 1085.78s - 1089.44s | is an array. It has a lat and a long. Let's put that as a dot. Yeah. Let's, 1089.44s - 1093.04s | let's put that somewhere on the map. Um, and that's pretty much how that 1093.04s - 1096.24s | works. And we have to repeat this process for every software that we want 1096.24s - 1100.32s | to do that. Um, but that's

Uh, we just decided to use map Tyler, which is 1107.66s - 1110.78s | another open source software that we can just grab that Elasticsearch 1110.78s - 1113.16s | actually made it pretty easy where you can just either pop it in the 1113.16s - 1116.10s | settings or in an environmental variable when you run up or spin up 1116.10s - 1120.34s | Elasticsearch. Uh, for the case of using map Tyler, that's actually just a 1120.34s - 1125.54s | domain for self self hosted option for it. Um, and in this case we're also 1125.54s - 1130.18s | using just open street maps. Um, so that's how we're able to just like put 1130.18s - 1132.28s | tiles underneath, uh, the coordinate system. 1134.24s - 1137.32s | Yep. So to wrap it up, I want to give some special thanks to main, the packet 1137.32s - 1141.48s | hacking village committee for allowing us to present today, uh, Elk Ninja for 1141.48s

I 1235.50s - 1239.18s | just grab it all. Yep. And then, and then afterwards, then I look for the 1239.18s - 1242.18s | anomalies. Then I look for the things that I, that I want to see. It's like, 1242.18s - 1245.44s | oh, that protocol looks interesting. Let's look more at that, at that device. 1248.32s - 1251.22s | Uh, so I've been able to find a lot of stuff through MDNS. I've been able to 1251.22s - 1255.64s | find a lot of stuff through, um, DHCP requests, a lot of information about 1255.66s - 1261.93s | devices themselves, which has been really handy for that. Yep.

(No, I'm not bitter at all) Command injections and buffer overflows abound, as well as a lesson or two in the need for a \"robust\" secure development process.", "channel_url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Om9kAkl32dWlDSNlDS9Iw", "duration": 1096, "channel": "DEFCONConference", "uploader": "DEFCONConference", "upload_date": "20241016" } 0.00s - 5.00s | This text was transcribed using whisper model: large-v2 Okay, so my name is Headless Zeke, Ricky Lausche, and this is my talk, 7.00s - 12.00s | Micro Hard More Like Micro Easy. Pause for laughter, and off to a great start. 17.64s - 22.64s | Okay, so yeah, first off, let me introduce myself. I'm a principal security researcher at Keysight 24.88s - 29.88s | Technologies. I'm based out of Austin, Texas. I focus mainly on security, 30.04s - 35.04s | offensive IOT research, and I've been doing this kind of stuff professionally since 2009. 37.44s - 42.44s | And I speak at conferences fairly regularly. I've spoken at DEF CON like five times on the actual 45.44s - 50.44s | stages, and this is my first time speaking at IOT Village. And then I have several hobbies. Most of 51.44s - 56.44s | them involve me drinking whiskey. Okay, so that's who I am. Let's talk about who Micro Hard is. 62.32s - 67.32s | They're a Canadian-based device manufacturer. They make basically cellular bridges for 71.46s - 76.46s | Ethernet and serial devices. They're used in lots of different environments that people really 77.06s - 82.06s | care about, such as like power utilities. I see unmanned vehicles listed on their list of 87.20s - 92.20s | industries. You know, just basically everywhere you could possibly think of needing to remotely 93.70s - 98.70s | access a device, they claim to be involved in some way. Okay, so that's Micro Hard as a 98.70s - 103.70s | company. Let's talk about the device that we're going to be looking at today. It's called a 108.90s - 113.90s

NA is for North America. So yeah, this is an LTE bridge for adding cellular 117.14s - 122.14s | connectivity to serial and Ethernet devices. You know, it's meant for managing installations 122.90s - 127.90s | remotely. This is a quote from their website. Connect any device, old and new, serial or 133.64s - 138.64s | Ethernet and provide cellular remote access using the Bullet LTE-NA2. You know, what could 140.08s - 145.08s | possibly go wrong? So I actually got this device because I was doing a security audit for a 146.04s - 151.04s | utility company and they were wanting to deploy a bunch of different devices and wanted us to 154.00s - 158.98s | check the security of the devices and this was one of them. And I did not end up recommending 158.98s - 163.98s | that they deploy this in the field. And you'll see why. Okay, so first off, from a hardware 170.42s - 175.42s | perspective, it's a 32-bit ARM Cortex A5 processor, which you can see here. It's a 32-bit 177.06s - 180.06s | processor. You can see in the top view, this is kind of like a, you

You can see in the top view, this is kind of like a, you know, the top of the 180.06s - 185.06s | board and the bottom of the board kind of picture. It's got down in the bottom of the top 186.94s - 191.94s | view next to that orange-ish, yellow-ish thing is a Spansion flash firmware chip, 128 megs. 196.84s - 201.84s | The entire file system is read-write, which is pretty awesome. And then it's also got 256 megs 202.58s - 207.58s | of RAM. And then on the underside of the board, they've got this QuekTel modem, an EC25-AF. 212.26s - 217.26s | And then they've also got connections for a SIM card slot, POE, Ethernet, USB, and serial in 222.00s - 230.04s | addition to a couple of programmable IO ports. And then from the firmware perspective, the 230.44s - 235.44s | firmware updates are completely unsigned and unencrypted, so you can pretty easily forge your 238.98s - 243.98s | own if you wanted to. And they were also easy to extract with binwalk. Inside the firmware 247.32s - 253.52s | updates, it's got the boot loader, it's got the Linux kernel, and it's got a full SquashFS 253.52s - 258.52s | file system. So basically you could fully

So basically you could fully emulate this system if you were so inclined to 260.56s - 268.28s | pretty easily. And then the software itself, the OS, is based loosely on OpenWrt, running a 272.52s - 277.52s | Linux 3.6.9 kernel. In the version that I'm going to be demonstrating today, they were using 282.44s - 287.44s | UHT2PD for web. They changed to that in the subsequent version and you'll see why they, why 287.92s - 292.92s | they decided to change it. Um, and then, yeah, they use DropBear for SSH and TelnetD for 296.06s - 301.06s | Telnet, kind of. Um, they actually have, whenever you log in with one of those services, uh, they 303.36s - 310.04s | end up dropping you into like a, a jailed debug environment, um, which we'll talk about 310.04s - 315.04s | extensively, uh, later on. And then on the UDP side, uh, they've got a discovery module, 317.48s - 323.22s | discovery service, that basically, um, depending on the type of device you're using, will 323.22s - 330.22s | send out a discovery probe, or will answer a discovery probe on one of these three ports and 330.22s - 336.75s | give you a

So, it wouldn't be one of my talks if I didn't, uh, discuss 339.53s - 346.98s | a discovery protocol because I love discovery protocols. So on this one, like I said, it 346.98s - 351.98s | sends, uh, or it listens for broadcast UDP messages, uh, port 2077, or 20077 is for, uh, 3G 358.82s - 363.82s | devices, 87 is for IP based devices, and 97 is for LTE devices. So this one would respond, uh, 367.10s - 372.10s | to broadcast messages it gets on port 20097. Uh, the magic probe is the same across the board. 373.10s - 378.10s | And let's look at what that looks like. Um, so you can see, I'm, this is a scanner that I 382.54s - 386.88s | wrote, um, where I just like, send out that broadcast packet to each one of those three 386.88s - 391.88s | ports, and then I listen for responses. And so this is what the response looks like on the wire. 394.72s - 399.72s | Um, one kind of annoying thing, um, is they, um, will respond to messages that are 402.72s - 408.56s | sent to you from

Okay, so the 416.89s - 421.89s | discovery, uh, response contains a lot of useful info. Uh, it's got the MAC address and the IP 423.53s - 428.53s | address. Um, it's also got the host name and the SSID, um, for any kind of wireless, uh, stuff. 428.85s - 433.85s | Um, and then it has the model name and the firmware version. Uh, and then it's got this thing 438.19s - 443.19s | called NMS, um, that's the network management software. It's like their cloud based, um, thing 445.93s - 451.01s | where you can register all of your devices and track the GPS location of all of them. Um, it's 451.01s - 455.85s | got the domain and password hash, but I'm not going to be talking about NMS today, um, 455.87s - 460.87s | because that's not part of this talk. Um, okay, so, and, and yeah, I wrote, uh, a scanner and 463.87s - 471.70s | response parser and I'll put it up on

Okay, so, uh, 471.70s - 477.48s | let's, let's actually get into the bones. Uh, so the web management portal, this was kind of 477.48s - 483.28s | the main focus of my audit when I was originally looking at these devices. Um, like I 483.32s - 488.32s | mentioned earlier, it's UHC2PD, uh, based on the version from OpenWRT in 2014. Um, it's 492.76s - 499.30s | used for configuring basically every aspect of the device. Um, and it is also reachable from 499.30s - 504.30s | LAN and WAN side. Um, and that's enabled by default and you have to actually turn that off, um, 506.80s - 512.88s | if you don't want it reachable from the WAN side. Um, but the best part is it's all shell 512.88s - 521.12s | scripts. So like this is, this is the directory listing, um, and it's literally like every 521.12s - 526.12s | single page is a shell script wrapped with a GUI. Um, so, you know, of course, uh, there are 529.16s - 535.04s | multiple command injections throughout this thing. Um, they're all, all, uh, post-auth, so 535.04s - 542.04s

Um, 549.10s - 554.64s | because of course it implements ping, um, and if it has ping, it has command injection every 554.64s - 559.66s | single time. Um, oh my god, was that really my time warning? Okay, I have to, I have to really 559.66s - 564.66s | book it. Okay, um, so, so yeah, it has ping, so they tried to sanitize input but it failed 564.66s - 569.66s | pretty horribly. Um, they just sanitized the host name, didn't worry about any of the other 573.20s - 579.40s | arguments that you put in there. Um, so yeah, just leave host name blank and then put 579.40s - 586.48s | whatever command you want, um, all in the account parameter. Uh, and let's show a demo of 586.48s - 591.48s | that real quick.

Um, but yeah, so this 600.36s - 605.36s | is, this is, uh, post-auth, so, uh, you need a, a valid user name and password. But then you 611.10s - 616.10s | run that and eventually you will, hey, you got a root shell. Um, because you injected a, you 617.10s - 622.10s | know, whatever command you wanted to run and it has netcat on it, so I was able to get a root 624.90s - 632.05s | shell pretty easily with that one. Okay. We're gonna, we're gonna hurry up. Okay, so yeah, 637.90s - 643.80s | like I said, those, those, um, vulns were all post-auth, um, but I really wanted something 643.80s - 648.68s | that was pre-auth, um, because that's so much sexier. Um, so I started looking at the 648.70s - 655.24s | authentication, uh, the way they handled authentication. Um, and as far as logging in, um, 655.24s - 660.24s | it was vanilla OpenWRT. They used, um, basic auth. Um, so basically base64 encoded user 663.92s - 668.92s | colon pass. Um, and, and so since this is, you know, UHC2PD that's part of OpenWRT,

Um, and so logins were generic. Logouts, um, 685.90s - 691.70s | was where they made a mistake. Um, basically they wanted to set the basic auth header to 691.70s - 696.70s | logout colon logout. Um, and then they did like a stir copy of that buffer to a statically 699.64s - 704.64s | sized, uh, buffer. Um, and then they could compare what it was to logout logout and, and, you 705.32s - 710.32s | know, log the person out that way. Um, but yeah, they didn't do any bounce checking or 712.50s - 717.50s | anything. Um, so, so yeah, you can see, I'm just gonna skip past this cause I'm running out of 719.40s - 724.40s | time. Um, but yeah, you can see, uh, you know, uh, stir copy, uh, and, and yeah, yeah. 724.88s - 729.88s | Okay, let's do another demo. I am actually gonna talk about the code of this one because it was 735.62s - 740.62s

Um, and so logins were generic. Logouts, um, 685.90s - 691.70s | was where they made a mistake. Um, basically they wanted to set the basic auth header to 691.70s - 696.70s | logout colon logout. Um, and then they did like a stir copy of that buffer to a statically 699.64s - 704.64s | sized, uh, buffer. Um, and then they could compare what it was to logout logout and, and, you 705.32s - 710.32s | know, log the person out that way. Um, but yeah, they didn't do any bounce checking or 712.50s - 717.50s | anything. Um, so, so yeah, you can see, I'm just gonna skip past this cause I'm running out of 719.40s - 724.40s | time. Um, but yeah, you can see, uh, you know, uh, stir copy, uh, and, and yeah, yeah. 724.88s - 729.88s | Okay, let's do another demo. I am actually gonna talk about the code of this one because it was 735.62s - 740.62s | very, uh, it was a very pat myself on the back kind of thing. This was my, my first ever in 744.50s - 749.50s | the wild ARM ROP exploit. Um, so basically, um, yeah, so, so they do have dap and 754.70s - 761.64s | ASLR and I wasn't able to find like a, a, um, uh, memory leak or anything to, to leak the base 761.64s - 766.64s | address of libc, um, or UC libc. Um, so I, um, for the purposes of this demo, I disabled ASLR 772.66s - 778.90s | but it is the lame version of ASLR where they only randomize the, the top part. Um, so in 778.90s - 783.90s | theory you could brute force, um, by just like picking, picking an address for the base of UC 786.80s - 792.00s | libc and then just trying over and over again and it'll just crash the website if it doesn't 792.00s - 798.28s | work and if it, you know, if it eventually works then you get a shell. Um, but yeah, so, so 798.28s - 803.28s | basically just, uh, you know, call, calling, uh, system, uh, from UC libc

So there's that one. And, okay, so I disclosed those back at, back 845.91s - 850.91s | at the, um, when I was doing the audit originally. Um, they fixed it in, uh, R1112, um, by 855.05s - 860.05s | adding more, uh, sanitization, um, and then they switched from using UHT TPD to using light 863.09s - 868.09s | TPD.

Although many backdoor attacks limit the attack surface to the model, ML models are not standalone objects. Instead, they are artifacts built using a wide range of tools and embedded into pipelines with many interacting components.\n\nIn this talk, we introduce incubated ML exploits in which attackers inject model backdoors into ML pipelines using input-handling bugs in ML tools. Using a language-theoretic security (LangSec) framework, we systematically exploited ML model serialization bugs in popular tools to construct backdoors. In the process, we developed malicious artifacts such as polyglot and ambiguous files using ML model files. We also contributed to Fickling, a pickle security tool tailored for ML use cases. Finally, we formulated a set of guidelines for security researchers and ML practitioners. By chaining system security issues and model vulnerabilities, incubated ML exploits emerge as a new class of exploits that highlight the importance of a holistic approach to ML security.", "channel_url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Om9kAkl32dWlDSNlDS9Iw", "duration": 1781, "channel": "DEFCONConference", "uploader": "DEFCONConference", "upload_date": "20241016" } 0.75s - 8.11s | This text was transcribed using whisper model: large-v2 Hey everyone, I'm Suha.

While popular examples of model vulnerabilities include 245.90s - 250.58s | model inversion and membership inference, we're zooming in on one specific type, 250.58s - 256.58s | model backdoors. So to be precise about it, a backdoor attack allows a malicious 256.58s - 261.42s | actor to force an ML model to produce specific outputs given specific inputs. 261.42s - 264.94s | Now, there's a couple of things that I think make backdoors really 264.94s - 269.14s | interesting to study. First up, you can use them as primitives for other model 269.14s - 272.38s | vulnerabilities, like membership inference. You can also identify 272.38s - 276.50s | pre-existing, quote-unquote, natural backdoors in them. And there's also some 276.50s - 281.18s | pretty strong evidence that suggests that this is an inherent threat. 281.18s - 285.54s

pretty popular 229.46s - 233.74s | saying, all models are wrong, but some are useful. We're just saying that these 233.74s - 237.38s | models aren't perfect.

While there are multiple reasons for this, one thing that really 292.98s - 300.62s | sticks out to me is the big gap between research and the real world. So for the 300.62s - 304.42s | most part, many attacks and attack frameworks and tools restrict their 304.42s - 309.74s | analysis to this formulation. An ML model receives an input and produces an 309.74s - 313.74s | output. But this isn't an accurate representation of what an ML system 313.74s - 319.22s | actually looks like.

So this part's pretty important.

And if you're only covering system 390.70s - 394.34s | security, you're still missing a big piece.

You're then entirely ignoring the potential for hybrid ML exploits. This is 403.58s - 408.54s | an emergent property.

But the ML security literature framework and tools are largely limited 448.22s - 452.90s | to just that. Specific instances or implications. What I'm trying to do here, 452.90s - 456.54s | what I want to be doing here, is treating this interaction explicitly and 456.70s - 462.38s | systematically. And that's why I made this framework. So one kind of system 462.38s - 467.58s | security issue is an input handling bug, and one kind of model vulnerability is a 467.58s - 474.30s | model backdoor. Put that together and we get an incubated ML exploit, which 474.30s - 478.82s | is a type of hybrid ML exploit where an attacker uses input handling bug to 478.82s - 483.10s | inject a backdoor. So I made this diagram to make the distinction between the two 483.10s - 488.26s | pretty clear. And here's the definition again. I'm going to leave the framework 488.26s - 492.90s | here for now. We did end up going into a bit of a more formal model of 492.90s - 499.30s | exploitation, including this exploit schema. But we'll return to that later. So 499.30s - 503.22s

So 499.30s - 503.22s | to backdoor a pre-existing model, the attacker should be able to change the 503.22s - 507.58s | parameters or the architecture. Now at the level of extraction we're dealing 507.58s - 512.10s | with, we can put input and component manipulation on the side for now. But how 512.10s - 517.22s | this actually plays out can vary a lot. For example, sometimes the 517.22s - 521.54s | attacker has control over some element of the training process, and they use 521.54s - 525.18s | that to sneak in some manipulated data that changes the 525.18s - 529.86s | model's parameters. That's usually called data poisoning. Or they might go a step 529.86s - 535.34s | further and fiddle with the model source code to change the architecture. Now 535.34s - 539.42s | before we talk about exploits, I want to explain a few things about input 539.42s - 554.42s | handling bugs. So an ML model is stored as a file. To process these models, you 554.42s - 559.30s | need parsers. And parsing these files into objects and back is deserialization 559.30s - 566.82s | and serialization. But wait.

So I'm focused very specifically on bugs that 586.34s - 590.74s | arise when you parse ML model files.

So I'll 785.63s - 789.95s | show, I'll describe some exploits involving the file formats associated 789.95s - 797.03s | with PQL, PyTorch, TorchScript, ONNX, and SafeTensors. So this first category is 797.03s - 801.87s | called non-minimalist input handling code. It sounds a little fancy, but all it 801.87s - 806.11s | means is that the code used to check and parse these inputs is too complex. So an 806.11s - 811.23s | attacker can potentially grab the necessary gadgets for their exploits. So 811.23s - 815.63s | pickling is a serialization method that allows you to save arbitrary objects and 815.63s - 820.07s | it's very, very common in the ML ecosystem. Recently, my co-worker Bojan 820.07s - 823.75s | Milanov led the development of SleepyPickle, which is an incubated ML 823.75s - 829.35s | exploit. And what it does is it chains a pickle RCE with model backdoors. So on 829.35s - 833.91s | the right, you can see an LLM that has been backdoored to Phish users. The blog 833.91s - 838.39s | post also has some examples of an LLM being used to 838.39s - 842.99s | spread misinformation and even steal user data. But what's cool about this 842.99s - 847.15s | exploit is that it can happen on the fly. So there's more room and possibilities 847.15s - 853.11s | for an attacker than just

So there's more room and possibilities 847.15s - 853.11s | for an attacker than just uploading a malicious model. So what do I mean by 853.11s - 857.79s | pickle RCE? Python pickles are compiled programs that run in a unique virtual 857.83s - 862.35s | machine called a pickle machine, or PM for short. The PM interprets the pickle 862.35s - 866.83s | file sequence of opcodes to construct an arbitrarily complex Python 866.83s - 872.99s | object. But it has two opcodes, global and reduce, that can execute arbitrary code 872.99s - 876.87s | outside of the PM, which makes it possible to construct malicious pickle 876.87s - 881.11s | data. Now the underlying issue here is that the PM is more complex than 881.11s - 887.55s | something that's only parsing ML models should be. So way back in the year 2021, 887.83s - 892.67s | we released this tool called Fickling. This project was led by Evan Sultanik. To 892.67s - 896.47s | our knowledge, Fickling was the first pickle security tool tailored for ML use 896.47s - 901.63s | cases. It's a decompiler, static analyzer, and bytecode rewriter for Python pickle. 901.63s - 906.39s | So it can help you detect, analyze, and even create malicious pickle files. So the

It's a decompiler, static analyzer, and bytecode rewriter for Python pickle. 901.63s - 906.39s | So it can help you detect, analyze, and even create malicious pickle files. So the 906.39s - 909.79s | reason it's safe to run on potentially malicious files is because it 909.79s - 914.99s | symbolically executes code using its own PM implementation. Relatively recently, I 915.11s - 918.91s | added a PyTorch module to it to make it easy to statically analyze and inject 918.91s - 923.75s | code into PyTorch files. But pickles are clearly bad for Bob. If Alice is 923.75s - 927.43s | distributing models as pickle files, that makes it that much easier for Chuck to 927.43s - 934.39s | inject a backdoor using a pickle RCE. So on to the next class. This term just 934.39s - 939.39s | means you shouldn't try to correct invalid input, reject it altogether. I've 939.39s - 947.15s | heard it referred to as the anti-robustness principle. So to deal with the issues 947.15s - 951.59s | with pickling, many devs write these things called restricted unpicklers. Now, 951.59s - 955.71s | those are subclasses of unpickler that try to enforce an allow list or a block 955.71s - 959.79s | list. The thing is, they're actually not that hard to bypass.

There's this 959.79s - 963.91s | methodology called PainPickle that demonstrates how to automatically bypass 963.91s - 968.79s | restricted unpicklers, which would enable arbitrary code execution and, to that 968.83s - 973.59s | end, backdoors. So they identified eight different types of unpicklers and three 973.59s - 977.43s | strategies that work against the vast majority of them. So much like pickle was 977.43s - 981.67s | bad for Bob, restricted unpickling bypasses pose a problem for Dave, if he 981.67s - 988.19s | relies on them in some fashion. Now we can talk about parser differentials. So 988.19s - 991.95s | this happens when different parsers in a system read the same input but 991.95s - 997.23s | interpret it differently. So when two parsers interpret the same file in 997.23s - 1001.91s | different ways, that file is known as an ambiguous file. This is a very common 1001.91s - 1006.15s | exploit technique. It's pretty good for bypasses. It means you can create an ML 1006.15s - 1011.15s | model file that is benign for one system or system component but backdoored for 1011.15s - 1015.55s | another. There's some more bigger implications for ML system exploitation 1015.55s - 1019.07s | here that we'll talk a bit

There's some more bigger implications for ML system exploitation 1015.55s - 1019.07s | here that we'll talk a bit more about later. But just a quick note, whether or 1019.07s - 1022.99s | not this is impactful at all depends on your system. So that's where you want to 1022.99s - 1028.63s | do threat modeling, of course. So we actually were able to create two 1028.63s - 1032.55s | differential proof of concepts with TorchScript. TorchScript is a popular 1032.55s - 1036.31s | format to store ML models in for a couple of reasons, mainly performance and 1036.31s - 1040.91s | portability. But you can make a parser differential with it and chain it to an 1040.91s - 1045.43s | architectural backdoor. So that's because you can turn a PyTorch model into a 1045.43s - 1049.59s | TorchScript one through tracing or scripting. And tracing doesn't incorporate 1049.59s - 1053.23s | dynamic control flow. So all you have to do is represent the malicious 1053.23s - 1057.87s | components for the backdoor with dynamic control flow. Now the second example was 1057.87s - 1062.91s | found during the YOLO audit. Last year my team and I audited a popular open 1062.91s - 1066.91s | source code base for computer vision called YOLOv7. They released standard 1066.91s - 1070.99s

They released standard 1066.91s - 1070.99s | versions of their model and TorchScript versions for deployment. We noticed many 1070.99s - 1075.39s | cases where tracing didn't capture the model accurately. After serialization and 1075.39s - 1079.35s | deserialization, key information was lost and the usual PyTorch warnings 1079.35s - 1083.23s | didn't show up. So to spot this differential, we used the TorchScript 1083.23s - 1088.95s | automatic trace checker, TorchFX, and the TorchScript IR. So with what we found, 1088.95s - 1092.99s | we created an input that made the two versions of the model act differently. 1092.99s - 1097.43s | Effectively a backdoor attack. So once again, bad for Bob. He's getting a 1097.43s - 1101.03s | fundamentally different model than the one Alice trained. So this breaks any 1101.03s - 1107.11s | preexisting promises. So we also identified a parser differential with 1107.15s - 1111.67s | SafeTensors. SafeTensors is another file format for ML models developed in 1111.67s - 1116.35s | response to the insecurity of pickling. Last year I was on an audit of the 1116.35s - 1121.11s | SafeTensors library where we identified the inclusion of JSON in the file format 1121.11s - 1125.03s | as a source of parser

Now JSON's pretty well known to be 1125.03s - 1128.63s | underspecified. There's a bunch of exploits in the web security world that 1128.63s - 1132.55s | leverage this. But the thing is, the reference SafeTensors implementation, 1132.55s - 1136.39s | the main implementation, uses a cert parser, which is good. It's strict. It 1136.39s - 1139.99s | rejects duplicate keys. But there's a bunch of external tools that use the 1139.99s - 1144.51s | Python built-in JSON parser, which doesn't. So you can use a duplicate key 1144.51s - 1148.31s | for the offsets to append backdoored weights and create manipulated SafeTensors 1148.31s - 1152.91s | files that are rejected by the reference implementation but accepted by external 1152.91s - 1156.43s | parsers.

If his tool is using a more permissive SafeTensors 1171.79s - 1175.75s | parser than the reference implementation, it might just accept manipulated 1175.75s - 1182.07s | SafeTensors files that have backdoored models. So one big part of my research is 1182.07s - 1186.55s | analyzing previous work and noticing trends. Now I don't want to get too into 1186.55s - 1190.15s | the weeds here. I'd like to say formalisms for accompanying materials. 1190.75s - 1194.71s | But one thing that stuck out to me is that from parser differentials, we get 1194.71s - 1198.67s | these things called model differentials. Instances where the same model is 1198.67s - 1203.39s | interpreted differently. As expected, this attack is dependent on the supply chain 1203.39s - 1209.83s | component and lifecycle stage. But in an ML system, you can pre-process inputs or 1209.83s - 1213.91s | you can apply model transformations before you deploy a model. So some 1213.91s - 1217.43s | studies have exploited parser differentials right at the pre-processing 1217.43s - 1221.75s | stage. These are things like image scaling or Unicode parsing.

And those 1221.75s - 1225.63s | attacks often change the weights. There have also been backdoor attacks that 1225.63s - 1230.35s | take advantage of model transformations like compilation or quantization. And 1230.35s - 1234.75s | those usually change the architecture. So I think it's very possible that most 1234.75s - 1238.99s | transformations can be encoded in a loss function that can be encoded in a loss 1238.99s - 1242.91s | function can result in an exploitable backdoor. But let's move forward from 1242.91s - 1260.23s | here. Next up, we have shotgun parsing. This is just what happens when you don't 1260.23s - 1265.75s | fully and properly check your input before beginning to process it. So 1265.75s - 1270.03s | let's talk about polyglot files. These are files that can be validly interpreted 1270.03s - 1273.43s | as two or more different formats. Polyglot files have been used to 1273.43s - 1277.07s | distribute malware, bypass code signing checks, and enable other malicious 1277.07s - 1281.31s | behaviors. So for ML model serialization, you can take these, put them in model 1281.31s - 1285.91s | hubs, and confuse some downstream consumers. But more importantly, you can 1285.91s - 1289.19s | have two different ML pipelines that interpret the same file as 1289.19s - 1294.59s | different models. So you

So you can smuggle a backdoor model in with a benign one. So 1294.59s - 1298.43s | during our audit of the SafeTensors library, we were able to make multiple 1298.43s - 1304.11s | polyglots. This includes zip, PDF, TF records, Keras native, and later on PyTorch 1304.11s - 1309.07s | Marm. And the SafeTensors audit report itself is a PDF zip 1309.07s - 1312.99s | polyglot, with a zip file containing all the polyglots we made during the audit. 1312.99s - 1317.19s | So you can just slap on a waste-based backdoored model to one of these formats 1317.19s - 1321.51s | to a benign SafeTensors model, open it up with SafeTensors, everything's fine, 1321.51s - 1325.79s | load it up with like PyTorch Marm or some other system, and boom, there's your 1325.79s - 1330.23s | backdoor. Now this is a real problem for folks like Dave, who's depending on these 1330.23s - 1333.71s | models. Because now you've got malicious models sneaking in with benign ones, 1333.71s - 1338.23s | right? The reason this is possible is because of a missing check.

Specifically, 1338.23s - 1342.03s | the program didn't check whether the start and end offsets corresponded with 1342.03s - 1345.95s | the tensor size, so attackers could append arbitrary data to the file. And 1345.95s - 1349.35s | that can be combined with the ability to change the header size to expand the 1349.35s - 1353.11s | number of polyglots. Now this issue has since been fixed with SafeTensors, 1353.11s - 1360.18s | however. So our next category is incompletes protocol specification. Just 1360.18s - 1363.82s | think of it as underspecification for now. There are multiple examples of this 1363.82s - 1366.90s | in the literature, but for the sake of time, I'm just going to talk about PyTorch 1366.90s - 1372.98s | polyglots. So many people are unaware that PyTorch actually supports multiple 1372.98s - 1377.90s | file formats. Some are deprecated, but still supported by external parsers. Now 1377.90s - 1381.78s | one issue is that it does lack consistent versioning here. So it's not 1381.78s - 1385.22s | that difficult to create polyglots of files that can be validly interpreted as 1385.22s - 1391.14s | different types of PyTorch file formats. So same for ambiguous files, side note. So 1391.14s - 1396.50s | you can just like add three files to get a

So same for ambiguous files, side note. So 1391.14s - 1396.50s | you can just like add three files to get a polymock between version 1.3 and 1396.50s - 1400.58s | TorchScript version 1.4, but a bigger issue is the reliance on zip and pickle. 1400.58s - 1405.98s | So pickle is a streaming file format. It ends once it reaches the stop code. So 1405.98s - 1411.06s | you can validly just append arbitrary data to it. Now on the other hand, most zip 1411.06s - 1415.50s | parsers don't enforce their magic at the start. So you can prepend to it, and one 1415.50s - 1419.62s | example of this is PyTorch more. So you can append a zip to a pickle file to 1419.62s - 1423.10s | create a zip pickle polyglot, and that gives you some good PyTorch polyglots. 1423.10s - 1428.26s | So fickling now has a polyglot module, so you can differentiate, identify, and 1428.26s - 1434.46s | create polyglots for the different PyTorch file formats. Now on to the next 1434.46s - 1438.82s | class. This one just means your input should be simple and well-defined, so you 1438.82s - 1443.66s | can check it thoroughly. Take ONNX.

So ML runtimes and frameworks often let you add 1453.94s - 1459.86s | custom ops to a model on the fly. And the language used for the ONNX runtime 1459.86s - 1465.74s | custom ops at that point in time was complex. So even though the ONNX 1465.74s - 1470.06s | protobuf specification officially disallowed side effects, in the ONNX 1470.06s - 1474.54s | runtime, you can encapsulate arbitrary code into a custom op, and you can use 1474.58s - 1479.22s | that to launch an architectural backdoor attack. Just like Pickle, this is not 1479.22s - 1485.54s | good news for Bob. So to recap, Bob, our direct consumer, was affected by the 1485.54s - 1490.46s | Pickle, ONNX, and TorchScript issues. Dave, on the other hand, was affected by 1490.46s - 1496.26s | the PyTorch, SafeTensors, and restricted and pickling issues.

So the layers I have listed 1513.46s - 1518.02s | here are hardware, infrastructure, low-level, compiler, high-level, 1518.02s - 1523.38s | framework, model, and knowledge.

Now, the compiler level corresponds to the TorchScript 1537.06s - 1541.78s | differential, and the SafeTensors and PyTorch polyglot issues are impactful at 1541.78s - 1545.38s | the infrastructure level. And this is just a starting point. There's going to 1545.38s - 1550.10s | be exploits up and down this stack that impact ML systems. So if you want to get 1550.10s - 1554.18s | into attacking ML systems, this is a good place to start. Are you really, really 1554.26s - 1559.10s | good at breaking hardware? Go take a stab at a TPU.

The XR field has become a new area of active research and implementation at many national labs across the US, integrating with cutting edge hardware and software to enable users with increased capabilities. At the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), we have been using immersive XR platforms to enable a variety of government and external sponsors with novel approaches to their field. These include creating new 3D virtual twins to enable remote engagements as if remote users had access to one-of-a-kind lab equipment, creating simulation environments of hazardous environments or dangerous situations that can\u2019t be recreated in the real world, and outreach and communication projects to engage both sponsors and the public with critical information about current security threats. During this presentation I will touch on a few case studies of projects taken on at PNNL to make the best use of XR platforms, and where we see future development with this capability.", "channel_url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Om9kAkl32dWlDSNlDS9Iw", "duration": 1435, "channel": "DEFCONConference", "uploader": "DEFCONConference", "upload_date": "20241016" } 0.18s - 1.86s | This text was transcribed using whisper model: large-v2 Hello, hello. 1.86s - 2.78s | Checking this is on. 2.78s - 3.46s | All right. 3.46s - 4.34s | Sorry for the delay. 4.34s - 9.06s | But I think we're good to get going now. 9.06s - 10.42s | Nice to meet everyone. 10.42s - 11.58s | My name is Martin Pratt. 11.58s - 14.90s | I'm a software engineer at the Pacific Northwest National Lab 14.90s - 16.38s | up in Washington state. 16.38s - 19.58s | And today I'm going to talk to you a little bit about some 19.58s - 21.30s | of the work that we do up there with immersive 21.30s - 25.06s | technologies, with virtual and augmented realities, and a 25.06s - 27.54s | variety of different situations, as well as one of 27.54s - 29.34s | the things that we're actually demoing over in the XR 29.38s - 30.22s | Village this week. 30.22s - 32.66s | So please stop by if you want to actually try 32.66s - 35.69s | some of this stuff out.

Traditional low-interaction web honeypots use manual methods to emulate various applications or vulnerabilities. Introducing Galah, an LLM-powered web honeypot that mimics diverse applications with a single prompt. This honeypot dynamically crafts relevant HTTP responses, including headers and body content, to various HTTP requests, effectively simulating multiple web applications. In this talk, I will share lessons learned from building and deploying Galah and address two key questions: How do different large language models perform in generating HTTP messages?

a 452.98s - 456.42s | better control over the response generated by the honey pot. 456.42s - 461.74s | So for example, the reason I added this, because 90 percent of the requests I was getting was 461.74s - 464.62s | just for the home directory, like the root directory. 464.62s - 467.86s | Why would I use LLM to generate a response for that? 467.86s - 474.90s | I can just add this regex here and just use a static response, whatever I want to respond 474.90s - 475.90s | to the attacker. 475.90s - 481.78s | But another thing is here, if you just add a catch-all rule here, like an asterisk, you 481.78s - 486.94s | can basically use this as a static traditional honey pot as well, so you don't really have 486.94s - 489.91s | to use LLM. 489.91s - 490.91s | This is a template. 490.91s - 495.53s | So if you want to use this rule system, this is how the template works. 495.53s - 500.49s | You define the headers and the body and it automatically gets that and responds to the 500.49s - 501.49s | attacker. 501.49s - 512.98s | Oh, it doesn't, okay, it took a while to load. 512.98s - 514.32s | The next stage is caching. 514.32s - 522.26s | So I added this caching just to make sure that I don't get like thousands of requests 522.26s - 527.90s | per day and I don't want to use the LLM to generate response to the identical requests 527.90s - 528.90s | I get. 528.90s - 529.90s | So I added this caching. 529.90s - 535.82s | You can configure to just disable it or enable it for all the requests forever, or just a 535.82s - 540.34s | short two-hour or 24-hour limited time. 540.34s - 547.04s | There's also reverse IP lookup and checking if the source is a known scanner, so a little 547.04s - 551.14s | bit of enrichment, nothing special. 551.14s - 558.30s | And finally, if the request you receive is not in cache or is expired, what we do is 558.30s - 560.54s | to create the prompt. 560.54s - 562.86s | There is a system prompt and user prompt. 562.86s - 568.36s | You will see that in the next few slides, how we created the prompt and some tips.
