SANS SEC760: Advanced Exploit Development for Penetration Testers Labs

Modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 10 and the latest Linux distributions can be very complex and subtle. These vulnerabilities can undermine an organization’s defenses and expose it to significant damage when exploited by skilled attackers. Few security professionals have the skills to discover a complex vulnerability and write an exploit to compromise it. Regardless of the increased complexity, attackers must maintain this skill set. The skills required to reverse engineer 32-bit and 64-bit applications to find vulnerabilities, perform remote user application and kernel debugging, analyze patches for one-day exploits, and write complex exploits are taught in SEC760.

You will learn.

Modern exploits can be written against the Windows operating systems. How to perform complex attacks such as use-after-free, kernel and driver exploitation, one-day exploitation through patch analysis, and other advanced attacks. How to use various plug-ins to improve vulnerability research. How to deal with modern exploit controls.

The syllabus for the course. SEC760.1: Exploit Mitigations and Reversing with IDA SEC760.2: Linux Application Exploitation There is an overview.

The ability to progress into more advanced reversing and exploitation requires an expert level understanding of basic software vulnerabilities. Modern exploitation techniques use heap overflows as a rite of passage. In order to inspire thinking in a more abstract manner, it is necessary to continue with the course on this day. Linux can sometimes be an easier operating system to learn and use. It is important to have an understanding of vulnerability research on the Linux OS, as most courses on exploit development focus solely on the Windows OS.

Linux heap management, constructs, and environment. Negotiating the heap. Unlink and frontlink are some of the offending macros. Function pointer is changed. The format string is being exploited. There are Linux exploit controls that can be defeated. Linux application exploitation using IDA remote debugging. There are format string bugs for ASLR.

Overview

Vendors such as Microsoft distribute patches to attackers in order to find new vulnerabilities. The vendor can more silently patch the vulnerability if it is disclosed privately or discovered in-house. The vendor can release limited information about a patched vulnerability. As many organizations struggle with getting patches out quickly, attackers are quick to find the patched vulnerability in order to take control of unpatched systems. The incident handler, IDS administrators and vendors, vulnerability and penetration testing framework companies, government entities, and others all perform patch diffing. Some of the bugs patched by Microsoft will be identified using the material covered on this day. Return Oriented Programming will be used to string together gadgets that emulate shellcode.

The patch management process of Microsoft. Obtaining patches and patches. BinDiff 5 is used for bin diffing. Figuring out code changes and identifying fixes. Reversing applications and modules. Triggering vulnerabilities that have been patched. Writing a day’s worth of exploits. Shellcode can be compiled on the fly with ROP.

Overview

The Windows kernel is complex and intimidating, so this day aims to help you understand it. You will learn how the kernels work with drivers to talk to devices and how some functions can be exposed to user-mode. You will learn how to deal with the inherent complexity of the Linux operating system on Windows 10. Ring 0 driver vulnerabilities will be analyzed, exploitation techniques will be looked at, and working exploits will be obtained.

Understanding Cvftable/vtable behavior is important. Use after-free attacks and pointers. It is possible to avoid protections such as MemGC. ASLR, DEP, and other exploit controls are dealt with.

Overview

The Capture-the-Flag event will use different types of challenges from the material taught throughout the week. Capture-the-Flag exercises will test your reverse-engineering, bug discovery, and exploit-writing skills.

Credit: 6 Additional information is available. There is a laptop required.

When doing class exercises, you need to use multiple operating systems. All necessary virtual machines with all necessary tools will be provided on the first day of the course, including Windows 10, various Linux distributions, and a 2-month license of IDA Pro with the option of purchasing it through Hex-Rays at a discounted price. The OS and application configuration can be very specific in some labs. There are virtual machines on the in-class network that you can connect to using RDP. If you can get the specific OS and/or application builds, you can recreate the systems at home, but you will not be able to take them home.

If your host OS is causing issues between virtual machine guests, make sure that you have the administrative ability to disabled all security software and protections. You may not be able to complete the exercises if you don’t have this level of control. Make sure that the software you install is not blocked by administrative or security controls. You will need to have a network connection to install Windows tools onto your host OS. It’s a good idea to have a Windows 10 host. If your host is Mac OS or a Linux distribution, you need to bring a Windows 10 guest VM with you.

Adherence to the requirements is required.

A minimum of 16 gigabytes of memory is required.

There are a lot of questions about this course. I don’t know if I’m ready for SEC760. I don’t know if I should take SEC660 first. I took SEC660, but am I ready for SEC760? If I only want exploit development material, can I jump right to SEC760? I don’t have any SANS pen testing courses to start with. Is the material the same that I have taken a course through?

Everyone has a different level of experience and there is no one size fits all. It is recommended that you read through the course syllabus and prerequisite statements for any course you are considering. Stephen Sims is available to answer any questions you may have about the subject matter in order to help you make an informed decision. He can be reached at support@learnbeacons.com.

If you take the 10 question exam prepared by SANS, you will be able to determine if you are better suited for SEC660 or SEC760. This is an exploit development perspective. SEC660 includes a two-day introduction to exploit development. Network device exploitation (routers, switches, network access control), pen testing cryptographic implementations, fuzzing, Python, network booting attacks, and escaping Linux and Windows restricted environments are just a few of the advanced penetration testing topics in SEC660. Many SEC760 students have taken training. Students say the courses complement one another and there are many unique sections without overlap.

To take Microsoft patches through exploitation, labs should reverse-engineer them. Use exploit labs against popular browsers. Both Linux and Windows applications can be remotely analyzed. Linux heap overflows can be exploited. Modern exploit mitigations should be bypassed.

We couldn’t get anything else like SEC760. Jenny Kitaichit is an Intel employee. Adam Logue said, I have taken many other advanced exploit classes and none of them break it down and step through the exploits like this class.

The author statement was written.

I am excited to offer SEC760: Advanced Exploit Writing for Penetration Testers. Exploit development is a hot topic and will continue to increase in importance. The number of experts with the skills to produce working exploits is limited with all of the modern exploit mitigation controls offered by operating systems. More and more companies are looking to hire professionals with the ability to discover vulnerabilities, determine if those vulnerabilities are exploitable, and carry out general security research. This course was written to help you get into these highly sought-after positions and to teach you cutting-edge tricks to thoroughly evaluate a target, providing you with the skills to improve your exploit development.

Stephen Sims.

SEC760: Advanced Exploit Writing for Penetration Testers has given me the opportunity to distill my past experiences in exploit writing and technical systems knowledge into a format worth sharing. This course is meant to give you a look into a number of different exploitation techniques and serves as an amazing jumping-off point for exploitation of any modern application or system. If you don’t plan on having a career in exploit writing or vulnerability research, this course will be useful in understanding the thought process that goes into constructing an exploit and what technologies exist to stop an exploit writer from being successful.
