RIP Ray Harryhausen

When I was a kid my parents bought me a book titled “Monsters & Vampires.” I don’t remember exactly when they gave it to me, but it’s copyright 1976 so I’m guessing I was pretty young. Its late-70s publishing date puts it just before the slasher films of the 80s, and instead focuses heavily on...

Rails - Guard, Brakeman, and Bundler-Audit
→ Carnal0wnage & Attack Research Blog | 12 Apr 2013 | 9:20am CDT
Thanks to the efforts of Justin Collins (@presidentbeef - Brakeman) and Hal Brodigan (@postmodern_mod3 - Bundler-Audit), Rails developers (and Sinatra) can use these two tools in tandem with Guard to protect their applications while under development. For those who aren't familiar, Guard was designed to run while you are developing, when you save a file it triggers Guard to run whatever tests you've specified in your Guardfile.The following video depicts this.

Bundler-Audit -> Auditing your RubyGems
→ Carnal0wnage & Attack Research Blog | 10 Apr 2013 | 10:39am CDT
Ruby applications that utilize a Gemfile/Gemfile.lock, file(s) that contain the list of ruby gems an application should use along with their respective version number, can now be audited to determine if those libraries are vulnerable.Credit to postmodern for developing the auditing gem and also to RubySec for creating the ruby-advisory-db, a community maintained database of Ruby gem vulnerabilities for which bundler-audit is built on top of. So to install this - gem install bundler-auditto run i...

Quick way to view ruby gems
→ Carnal0wnage & Attack Research Blog | 9 Apr 2013 | 9:31am CDT
This post is a very short and very simple tip for easily opening a ruby gem up for closer inspection.When reviewing a Rails or Sinatra application (code review), it sometimes becomes necessary to view the libraries (ruby gems) that an application is including and using. Instead of navigating to the ~/.rvm/gems/@ directory (or wherever else the gems are stored) and opening them with your text editor of choice, you can instead leverage the power of bundler.For your *nix based systems that leverag...

APT PDFs and metadata extraction
→ Carnal0wnage & Attack Research Blog | 20 Mar 2013 | 8:45am CDT
One of the modules in our new Rapid Reverse Engineering class is artifact extraction. For this section of the class the students use a python module we create for doing some artifact/metadata extraction from samples. One of the more interesting pieces of metadata that attackers leave behind is the software that the malicious file was created with. In this case I was looking at some PDFs. I then realized that I extract this information for individual samples, but I have never run a test on a l...
