Generate CVRF
an invention by msmeissn
Updated over 7 years ago. No love.

CVRF is a standard where security advisories are encoded in a XML format.

We are currently not generating such a format, but it seems to be getting more attention.

Idea is to use the OVAL and CVE generators to also generate CVRF.

      I implemented the first version of CVRF generation during Hackweek 15.

    VulnHeap by r1chard-lyu

    Description

    The VulnHeap project is dedicated to the in-depth analysis and exploitation of vulnerabilities within heap memory management. It focuses on understanding the intricate workflow of heap allocation, chunk structures, and bin management, which are essential to identifying and mitigating security risks.

    Goals

    • Familiarize with heap
      • Heap workflow
      • Chunk and bin structure
      • Vulnerabilities
    • Vulnerability
      • Use after free (UAF)
      • Heap overflow
      • Double free
    • Use Docker to create a vulnerable environment and apply techniques to exploit it

    Bot to identify reserved data leak in local files or when publishing on remote repository by mdati

    Description

    Scope here is to prevent reserved data or generally "unwanted", to be pushed and saved on a public repository, i.e. on Github, causing disclosure or leaking of reserved informations.

    The above definition of reserved or "unwanted" may vary, depending on the context: sometime secret keys or password are stored in data or configuration files or hardcoded in source code and depending on the scope of the archive or the level of security, it can be either wanted, permitted or not at all.

    As main target here, secrets will be registration keys or passwords, to be detected and managed locally or in a C.I. pipeline.

    Goals

    • Detection:

      • Local detection: detect secret words present in local files;
      • Remote detection: detect secrets in files, in pipelines, going to be transferred on a remote repository, i.e. via git push;

    • Reporting:

      • report the result of detection on stderr and/or log files, noticed excluding the secret values.

    • Acton:

      • Manage the detection, by either deleting or masking the impacted code or deleting/moving the file itself or simply notify it.

    Resources

    • Project repository, published on Github (link): m-dati/hkwk24;
    • Reference folder: hkwk24/chksecret;
    • First pull request (link): PR#1;
    • Second PR, for improvements: PR#2;
    • README.md and TESTS.md documentation files available in the repo root;
    • Test subproject repository, for testing CI on push [TBD].

    Notes

    We use here some examples of secret words, that still can be improved.
    The various patterns to match desired reserved words are written in a separated module, to be on demand updated or customized.

    [Legend: TBD = to be done]

    OIDC Loginproxy by toe

    Description

    Reverse proxies can be a useful option to separate authentication logic from application logic. SUSE and openSUSE use "loginproxies" as an authentication layer in front of several services.

    Currently, loginproxies exist which support LDAP authentication or SAML authentication.

    Goals

    The goal of this Hack Week project is, to create another loginproxy which supports OpenID Connect authentication which can then act as a drop-in replacement for the existing LDAP or SAML loginproxies.

    Testing is intended to focus on the integration with OIDC IDPs from Okta, KanIDM and Authentik.

    Contributing to Linux Kernel security by pperego

    Description

    A couple of weeks ago, I found this blog post by Gustavo Silva, a Linux Kernel contributor.

    I always strived to start again into hacking the Linux Kernel, so I asked Coverity scan dashboard access and I want to contribute to Linux Kernel by fixing some minor issues.

    I want also to create a Linux Kernel fuzzing lab using qemu and syzkaller

    Goals

    1. Fix at least 2 security bugs
    2. Create the fuzzing lab and having it running

    The story so far

    • Day 1: setting up a virtual machine for kernel development using Tumbleweed. Reading a lot of documentation, taking confidence with Coverity dashboard and with procedures to submit a kernel patch
    • Day 2: I read really a lot of documentation and I triaged some findings on Coverity SAST dashboard. I have to confirm that SAST tool are great false positives generator, even for low hanging fruits.
    • Day 3: Working on trivial changes after I read this blog post: https://www.toblux.com/posts/2024/02/linux-kernel-patches.html. I have to take confidence with the patch preparation and submit process yet.
      • First trivial patch sent: using strtruefalse() macro instead of hard-coded strings in a staging driver for a lcd display
      • Fix for a dereference before null check issue discovered by Coverity (CID 1601566) https://scan7.scan.coverity.com/#/project-view/52110/11354?selectedIssue=1601566
    • Day 4: Triaging more issues found by Coverity.
      • The patch for CID 1601566 was refused. The check against the NULL pointer was pointless so I prepared a version 2 of the patch removing the check.
      • Fixed another dereference before NULL check in iwlmvmparsewowlaninfo_notif() routine (CID 1601547). This one was already submitted by another kernel hacker :(
    • Day 5: Wrapping up. I had to do some minor rework on patch for CID 1601566. I found a stalker bothering me in private emails and people I interacted with me, advised he is a well known bothering person. Markus Elfring for the record.

    • Wrapping up: being back doing kernel hacking is amazing and I don't want to stop it. My battery pack is completely drained but changing the scope gave me a great twist and I really want to feel this energy not doing a single task for months.

      I failed in setting up a fuzzing lab but I was too optimistic for the patch submission process.

    Kanidm: A safe and modern IDM system by firstyear

    Kanidm is an IDM system written in Rust for modern systems authentication. The github repo has a detailed "getting started" on the readme.

    Kanidm Github

    In addition Kanidm has spawn a number of adjacent projects in the Rust ecosystem such as LDAP, Kerberos, Webauthn, and cryptography libraries.

    In this hack week, we'll be working on Quokca, a certificate authority that supports PKCS11/TPM storage of keys, issuance of PIV certificates, and ACME without the feature gatekeeping implemented by other CA's like smallstep.

    For anyone who wants to participate in Kanidm, we have documentation and developer guides which can help.

    I'm happy to help and share more, so please get in touch!
