Anyone else going to BSides DC next weekend? It'll be my first time at any kind of tech conference, and I'm not sure what to expect.

There is usually a bro class there by the best tech teacher for that technology. Sit in on it , ask good questions, answer questions well and you might be rewarded with a jar of drunken cherries that he makes. They are good and funny that everyone that knows bro in the industry knows about that cherries no matter which country you are in.

Last time I went (and I live here) it was not really exciting for me.

An abundance of body odour, going by my half-decade of security/tech conferences.

Now whenever I get sent to attend something I've resorted to picking interesting talks from the lineup to attend, and treating the rest of a conference as a free work-paid vacation. I've also avoided the big cons so maybe that's why I constantly feel let down by them.

So the future probably belongs to small companies that can actually keep their poo poo together and adjust operations on a weekly basis, right? Cause I can't see any behemoth in any country being able to keep all their infrastructure safe as things are right now

Small companies can't keep their poo poo safe either, they're just not as big of targets & not newsworthy when they get owned.

The future belongs to the giant megacorps and the hackers that rob and extort them. It's the cyberpunk future except 90% less cool and 100% less sexy.

My bank (which is big and national and poo poo) truncates passwords to 15 characters of only letters and numbers, and doesn't use 2FA at all, just three security questions (which just means I gen three more passwords and keep them in the notes section in keepass). All you need to reset the password is the answer to one of those questions and your SSN (which is all over the darkweb like ten times by now), or just bullshit your way past the overworked telephone operator. No email even required, just change the password right on the spot there on the website.

But hey, they added fingerprint logging in for their phone app a couple months back, that's progress! Right!?

Dollars to donuts you turn off that front end javascript there is no back end sanitization.

Or get a intercepting proxy (like burp or zap), put an acceptable password in, turn on intercept and hit submit. Change the two password fields in the request to use one of the naughty characters (I would suggest an & since that would break the least JavaScript or SQL) and see if your type in your new naughty password.

Then call and ask directly for their information security team and hope they are competent and will not sue you.

Don't do any SQL injection (holy poo poo that will get you sure) but if you can prove no sanitization is being done on the back end (or throwing back an error) that can cause some audit problems. They still may be okay by using stored procedures or methods that automatically hash all passwords without touching an SQL statement but you never want to affect any other account besides your own.

At least I would look into it because it's your money.


Edit:I just saw the no "script" tag. I wonder if "ScRiPt" is allowed.

To log into my bank I need to use my customer number and a 6 digits PIN. So, okay, they log you out after 5 attempts, but to reset the PIN they send you a snail mail. If anybody determined knows where I live it'd be trivial to steal it.

I get it, they need to keep it simple for old folks but they should also offer better means (FIDO, 2FA, ...) as options.

None of the banks here even offer anything but 2FA for their websites. You can log onto the app with a code + print tho.

Mailing you the new PIN sounds perfectly reasonable, since the alternative is "what's your mother's maiden name" or "what color was your first car". You're right that it's vulnerable to Steve Down The Street taking the letter, but that's orders of magnitude less likely than the typical attack scenario of Uri From The Ukraine.

I've made a huge mistake.
It seems to me the security of mailing stuff also depends on the the of type of letterbox prevalent in your country. Nearly all mail in the UK is delivered through slots in front doors, making it harder to intercept mail compared to the roadside boxes that television and movies tell me dominate rural and suburban america.

Fraudsters have been experimenting with sticking fake letterboxes to the outside of houses.

Every year around tax season here we have community mailboxes start to go missing. The post office's solution to this was to make it slightly more difficult to break in to the boxes, which as far as I can tell has solved nothing.

That's the nicer version of it because at least you know stuff's gone. Sometimes they get keys for them and just take mail they find interesting. Takes a lot longer to find out when that happens. :/

They send you pictures of the envelopes that are supposed to be delivered that day. I've had a few that never show up. Nothing important yet, and it's probably the fuckwit delivery person putting the envelopes in the wrong box. There's a nice link in there to report stuff that you didn't get that is supposed to go to the postal inspectors.
