Leveraging Web Application Vulnerabilities for Resourceful Intelligence Gathering
Submitted May 4, 2019
Section:
Full talk (40 mins)
Technical level:
Beginner
Session type:
Demo
Technical level:
Intermediate
Session type:
Lecture
This talk aims to introduce the audience how web application vulnerabilities can be leveraged for self-sufficient information and intelligence gathering.
Outline
The talk seeks to provide the audience with a starting point for where and how resourceful information and intelligence can be found and collected, particularly, through discovery and exploitation of security flaws in web applications. The talk will provide real life examples of security flaws through which sensitive information could have been disclosed, and how at times - owing largely to the interconnected nature of such information - it could be pieced together with other data to glean useful intelligence about a particular individual or group. Lastly, the talk will touch upon how developers can avoid baking these issues into their services and applications, while also discussing protective operational security measures that end-users can adopt as a best practice.
