About Me• Originally from Maine• Lived in Milwaukee, Chicago, Atlanta• Web developer since 2001• PHP, Python, Java, C++, Perl, Visual Basic, etc.• MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis• Kali Linux, Burpsuite, Gauntlt, SQLMap, XSSer, etc.• Got badly hacked in 2010, been learning since• I like making good software

What if we could fix anythingin 10 minutes?

With DevOpsSec, you can!

How does it feel?

Prepare for a meme filled ride.

How do we do things today?

We need to build QA and security in.

What can we do?

Dev vs. Ops

Dev vs. Ops

• Devs are paid to change code, high entropy

Dev vs. Ops


• Ops are paid to have stability, low entropy

Dev vs. Ops



• Change != Stability

Dev vs. Ops



• Change != Stability

• IE8 only supports loading 31 CSS files

"One line of code can break everything."

What do we do?

Climbing the Pyramid

"The worst thing that can happen to a system is that it doesn't run. The second worse thing is that it runs very slowly."

Performance

• stress testing: "how many concurrent users?"

Performance


• server latency: "how long is the response wait?"

Performance



• initial client-side load latency: "time to first tweet"

Performance



• initial client-side load latency: "time to first tweet"

• client latency: "how long does action take?"

Don’t forget to DDoS yourself.

What we got:

What we want:

Code quality testing IS security testing.

Security Testing without Code Quality Checks:

Code Quality

• linting, correct formatting

Code Quality


• copy + paste, easily refactor

Code Quality



• complexity, refactoring target

2^6 possible code pathways

64 possible outcomes from 1 function.

Code Quality




• unsafe calls, change implementation

Code Quality





• e2e tests, detect regressions

Code Quality






• unit tests, detect integration issues

Code Quality







• coverage, testing thoroughness

Code Quality







• coverage, testing thoroughness

• mocks, speed up testing

Unit Testing

Ready to try some Unit Testing?

Unit Testing

GET /users/<account_name>

• happy path: "aclark"

• missing entry: "aclark2"

• lower bounds: "a"

• upper bounds: "aaaaaaaaa"

• empty: "account_name" : ""

• null: (null)

• fuzzing: "a2$@o9(@1"

"a2$@o9(@1" eventually becomes "a or 1=1; --"

Supported

Supported

• define supported devices, resolutions,

browsers, and versions

You can’t support everything:

Supported



• use Selenium WebDriver

Supported




• test locally in VM images

Supported




• test locally in VM images

• test on the cloud

Try using unsupported systems. Hopefully fail gracefully. Might even find something…

Pro-tip: Try setting your browser User-Agent to iPhone 3.0 when visiting news websites :P

Deployable

• atomic base box VM

• provisioning scripts

Deployable



• deploy to local, AWS, Rackspace, etc.

• scan server setup

#!/bin/bash

HOST="192.168.1.4"

PATTERN="443/tcp\s+open"

if nmap -p 80,443 $HOST | grep $PATTERN > /dev/null

then

echo "ERROR: Port 443 open!"

exit 1

else

echo "SUCCESS: No unauthorized ports open."

exit 0

Bash Test

Gauntlt Test

Feature: simple nmap attack (sanity check)

Background:

Given "nmap" is installed

And the following profile:

| name | value |

| hostname | 192.168.1.4 |

Scenario: Verify server is available on standard web ports

When I launch an "nmap" attack with:

"""

nmap -p 80,443 <hostname>

"""

Then the output should match /80.tcp\s+open/

And the output should not match:

"""

443/tcp\s+open

"""

My personal websites:

Monitoring

• request origin

If you’re a ‘Murican only company, why are you letting your server talk

to Russia?

Monitoring

My startup has < 100 users. It gets scanned and attacked every day.

Your live servers are gettinghammered all the time.

Security

This is your attack surface:

You can't know where those red dots are, so protect everything.

• automate tests

Give and request automated tests,not PDF docs.

Write "Malicious User Stories"

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING,

SAY SOMETHING.

... but, at least write a test.

Common Concerns:

DevOpsSec is free, you can do it today.

Automation does not replace people.Know why?

Automation is people.

Automation helps them focus on more difficult problems.

Repeat after me:

"I am DevOpsSec ..."

"... and so can you!"
