[Australian Cyber Conference 2019] Breakout session

October 8th Paula Januszkiewicz has been holding the Breakout session at the 12th edition of #Cybercon. Take a look at the key takeaways and get access to the presentation and tools! 

Vulnerabilities in Credentials & How to Fix Them 

What are the places where credentials are stored? It is that easy to reveal them? Whenever you enter your password in the password field, there is at least one mechanism remembering it, to use it later for the designed purpose. What is the risk to experience identity theft in the typical infrastructure? Could we rely on the identity in the cloud? Do cached credentials bring any danger? Can we just extract them and crack the password or use the value to do the pass the hash attack? One thing is for sure: Paula and her team made a DPAPI world discovery where they have reverse-engineered this mechanism to tell you right now how it works and if it is safe.  

In her presentation, Paula has demonstrated the technology weaknesses in credential security and specific misused actions within the operating system. You will learn the unexpected places your passwords reside, how the password attacks are performed, the typical paths where credentials can be leaked and how to prevent these by implementing various solutions.  

P.S. The slides are demo heavy!
