WhiteHat Security today announced that Jeremiah
Grossman, the Company’s founder and CTO, will
lead a technical session at this year’s RSA
Conference in San Francisco. The presentation,
“Hacking Intranet Websites from the
Outside,” will address the increasing
prevalence of Javascript malware, the threats
associated with it, why organizations must understand
it and how they can defend against it.
Session learning objectives include:
• How a user is first infected or attacked using
a malicious Web page or Cross-Site Scripting
vulnerability;
• How a Web browser can be completely controlled
or monitored remotely;
• How a Web browser can be used as a stepping
stone to perform network reconnaissance on internal
networks; and,
• How to exploit internal machines using a
compromised Web browser.
Grossman will demonstrate a wide variety of
cutting-edge website attack techniques and describe
best practices for securing websites and users
against these threats, including:
• Port scanning and attacking intranet devices
using JavaScript;
• Blind Web server fingerprinting using unique
URLs;
• Discovery NAT'ed IP addresses with Java
Applets;
• Stealing Web browser history with Cascading
Style Sheets;
• Best-practice defense measures for securing
Websites; and,
• Essential habits for safe Web surfing.
In addition to his position at WhiteHat, Jeremiah
Grossman is a world-renowned expert in website
vulnerability management and a founding member of the
