Continuous Intrusion: Why CI Tools Are an Attacker's Best Friends.

Presented at DeepSec 2015 „DeepSec No. 9“, Nov. 20, 2015, 10 a.m. (50 minutes)

Continuous Integration (CI) tools provide excellent attack surfaces due to no/poor security controls, the distributed build management capability and the level of access/privileges in an enterprise. This talk looks at the CI tools from an attacker's perspective, using them as portals to get a foothold and for lateral movement. We will show how to execute attacks like command and script execution, credentials stealing and privilege escalation; how to not only compromise the build process but the underlying Operating System and even entire Windows domains. No memory corruption bugs will be exploited and only the features of the CI tools will be used. Popular CI tools, open source as well as proprietary, will be the targets. The talk will be full of live demonstrations.

    Nikhil Mittal is a hacker, infosec researcher, speaker and enthusiast. His area of interest includes penetration testing, attack research, defence strategies and post exploitation research. He has 6+ years of experience in Penetration Testing for his clients, including many global corporate giants. He is also a member of Red teams of selected clients. He specializes in assessing security risks in secure environments which require novel attack vectors and an "out of the box" approach. He has worked extensively on using Human Interface Devices in Penetration Tests and PowerShell for post exploitation. He is creator of Kautilya, a toolkit which makes it easy to use Teensy in penetration tests and Nishang, a post exploitation framework in PowerShell. In his spare time, Nikhil researches on new attack methodologies and updates his tools and frameworks. Nikhil has held trainings and boot camps for various corporate clients (in US, Europe and SE Asia), and at the world's top information security conferences. He has spoken at conferences like Defcon, BlackHat USA, BlackHat Europe, RSA China, Troopers, DeepSec, PHDays, BlackHat Abu Dhabi, Hackfest, ClubHack, EuSecWest and more.
