How to get into Coding!

Coding is very important now and in the future. Technology relies on coding and in the future you will need to know how to code to get a high-paying job. Many people consider having Computer Science field-related jobs, especially in AI. What if you are interested it in general or as a hobby? What if you don't know what you want to do yet for college?

Pick a language you want to learn: Personally, I started out with HTML and CSS. I recommend if you want to do web design HTML and CSS are good languages to start with. Otherwise, start with JavaScript or Python.

2. Find Resources: Basically you want to look at videos on YouTube, and take classes that have coding like AP CSP, AP CS A (harder class), Digital Information Technology, etc. You can also attend classes outside in the summer like CodeNinjas and use websites like code.org, freeCodeCamp, and Codecademy. Also, ask your friends for help too! You can find communities on Reddit and Discord as well.

3. Start Practicing: Practice slowly by doing small projects like making games for websites and apps. You can work with friends if you are still a beginner or need help. There's also open-source coding you can do!

4. Continue coding: If you don't continue, you will lose your skills. Be sure to always look up news on coding and different coding languages.

5. Certifications: If you are advanced in coding or want to learn more about technology, you can do certifications. This can cost a lot of money depending on what certification you are doing. Some school districts pay for your certification test. But if you take the test and pass, you can put it on your resume, and job recruiters/interviewers will be impressed! This can help with college applications and show initiative if you want a computer science degree. This shows you are a "master" of the language.

Strategic patch management & proof of concept insights for CISOs - CyberTalk

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/strategic-patch-management-proof-of-concept-insights-for-cisos-cybertalk/

Strategic patch management & proof of concept insights for CISOs - CyberTalk

Augusto Morales is a Technology Lead (Threat Solutions) at Check Point Software Technologies. He is based in Dallas, Texas, and has been working in cyber security since 2006. He got his PhD/Msc in Telematics System Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid, Spain and he is also a Senior Member of the IEEE. Further, he is the author of more than 15 research papers focused on mobile services. He holds professional certifications such as CISSP and CCSP, among others.

One of the burdens of CISO leadership is ensuring compliance with endpoint security measures that ultimately minimize risk to an acceptable business level. This task is complex due to the unique nature of each organization’s IT infrastructure. In regulated environments, there is added pressure to implement diligent patching practices to meet compliance standards.

As with any IT process, patch management requires planning, verification, and testing among other actions. The IT staff must methodically define how to find the right solution, based on system’s internal telemetry, processes and external requirements. A Proof of Concept (PoC) is a key element in achieving this goal. It demonstrates and verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of a particular solution.

In other words, it involves creating a prototype to show how the proposed measure addresses the specific needs. In the context of patch management, this “prototype” must provide evidence that the whole patching strategy works as expected — before it is fully implemented across the organization. The strategy must also ensure that computer resources are optimized, and software vulnerabilities are mitigated effectively.

Several cyber security vendors provide patch management, but there is no single one-size-fits-all approach, in the same way that there is for other security capabilities. This makes PoCs essential in determining the effectiveness of a patching strategy. The PoC helps in defining the effectiveness of patching strategy by 1) discovering and patching software assets 2) identifying vulnerabilities and evaluating their impact 3) generating reports for compliance and auditing.

This article aims to provide insights into developing a strategic patch management methodology by outlining criteria for PoCs.

But first, a brief overview of why I am talking about patch management…

Why patch management

Patch management is a critical process for maintaining the security of computer systems. It involves the application of functional updates and security fixes provided by software manufacturers to remedy identified vulnerabilities in their products. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by cyber criminals to infiltrate systems, steal data, or take systems hostage.

Therefore, patch management is essential to prevent attacks and protect the integrity and confidentiality of all users’ information. The data speaks for itself:

There are an average of 1900 new CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) each month.

4 out of 5 cyber attacks are caused by software quality issues.

50% of vulnerabilities are exploited within 3 weeks after the corresponding patch has been released.

On average, it takes an organization 120 days to remediate a vulnerability.

Outdated systems are easy targets for cyber attacks, as criminals can easily exploit known vulnerabilities due to extensive technical literature and even Proof-of-Concept exploits. Furthermore, successful attacks can have repercussions beyond the compromised system, affecting entire networks and even spreading to other business units, users and third parties.

Practical challenges with PoC patch management

When implementing patch management, organizations face challenges such as lack of visibility into devices, operating systems, and versions, along with difficulty in correctly identifying the level of risk associated with a given vulnerability in the specific context of the organization. I’ll address some relevant challenges in terms of PoCs below:

1) Active monitoring: PoCs must establish criteria for quickly identifying vulnerabilities based on standardized CVEs and report those prone to easy exploitation based on up-to-date cyber intelligence.

2) Prioritization: Depending on the scope of the IT system (e.g. remote workers’ laptops or stationary PCs), the attack surface created by the vulnerability may be hard to recognize due to the complexity of internal software deployed on servers, end-user computers, and systems exposed to the internet.  Also, sometimes it is not practical to patch a wide range of applications with an equivalent sense of urgency, since it will cause bandwidth consumption spikes. And in case of errors, it will trigger alert fatigue for cyber security personnel. Therefore, other criteria is needed to identify and to quickly and correctly patch key business applications. This key detail has been overlooked by some companies in the past, with catastrophic consequences.

3) Time: To effectively apply a patch, it must be identified, verified, and checked for quality. This is why the average patch time of 120 days often extends, as organizations must balance business continuity against the risk of a cyber attack. The PoC process must have ways to collect consistent and accurate telemetry, and to apply compensation security mechanisms in case the patch process fails or cannot be completely rolled out because of software/OS incompatibility, drop in performance and conflict with existing endpoint controls (e.g. EDR/Antimalware). Examples of these compensation controls include: full or partial system isolation, process/socket termination and applying or suggesting security exclusions.

4) Vendor coordination: PoCs must ensure that software updates will not introduce new vulnerabilities. This situation has happened in the past. As an example, CVE-2021-30551 occurred in the Chrome Browser, where the fix inadvertently opened up another zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2021-30554) that was exploited in the wild.

Another similar example is Apple IOS devices with CVE-2021-1835, where this vulnerability re-introduced previously fixed vulnerabilities by allowing unauthorized user access to sensitive data, without the need for any sophisticated software interaction. In this context, a PoC process must verify the ability to enforce a defense in depth approach by, for example, applying automatic anti-exploitation controls.

Improving ROI via consolidation – The proof is in the pudding?

In the process of consolidating security solutions, security posture and patch management are under continuous analysis by internal experts. Consolidation aims to increase the return on investment (ROI).

That said, there are technical and organizational challenges that limit the implementation of a patch and vulnerability management strategy under this framework, especially for remote workers. This is because implementing different solutions on laptops, such as antimalware, EDR, and vulnerability scanners, requires additional memory and CPU resources that are not always available. The same premise applies to servers, where workloads can vary, and any unexpected increase or latency in service can cause an impact on business operations. The final challenge is software incompatibility that, together with legacy system usage, can firmly limit any consolidation efforts.

Based on the arguments above, consolidation is feasible and true after demonstrating it by the means of a comprehensive PoC. The PoC process should validate consolidation via a single software component a.k.a. endpoint agent and a single management platform. It should help cyber security practitioners to quickly answer common questions, as described below:

How many critical vulnerabilities exist in the environment? What’s the breakdown?

Which CVEs are the most common and what are their details?

What is the status of a specific critical CVE?

What’s the system performance? What/how it can be improved?

How does threat prevention works in tandem with other security controls? Is containment possible?

What happens if patching fails?

Failure in patch management can be catastrophic, even if just a small percentage fail. The PoC process must demonstrate emergency mitigation strategies in case a patch cannot be rolled out or assets are already compromised.

Managing this “mitigation” could limit the ROI, since extra incident response resources could be needed, which may involve more time, personnel and downtime. So, the PoC should demonstrate that the whole patch management will maintain a cyber-tolerance level that could be acceptable in conjunction with the internal business processes, the corresponding applicable regulations, and economic variables that keep the organization afloat.

Check Point Software Technologies offers Harmony Endpoint, a single agent that strengths patch management capabilities and hence, minimizes risks to acceptable levels. It also provides endpoint protection with advanced EPP, DLP, and XDR capabilities in a single software component, ensuring that organizations are comprehensively protected from cyber attacks while simplifying security operations and reducing both costs and effort.

Have you heard about the Polish Train company, Newag, and the bullshit it turns out they got up to?

So, the regional rail operator Koleje Dolnośląskie bought some Newag Impuls back in 2016 . In late 2021, some of them need to have major maintenance done, as they've been in service a while. So the company SPS (Serwis Pojazdów Szynowych) gets the contract to fix them. They basically take the train apart, replace a bunch of it, following all the rules in the documentation Newag gave them, and... it won't move. The train says everything is fine, the brakes are off, there's plenty of power, but you push the throttle up and it won't move.

SPS spends a while trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong, with no luck. So they hire some hackers from the Polish security group Dragon Sector. Dragon Sector figures out how to get into the code of the computer system that runs the train, and OH MY GOD.

So it turns out there's a secret train-lock system. If it's on, the train won't move. This will be triggered in some situations you might think are normal: the clocks are wrong, the serial numbers of the various parts have changed, and a firmware mismatch between the main computer and the power system. Now, the fact that it makes sense to not run the train in these situations until someone can check it? that doesn't extend to the fact the train uses a SECRET lock system, rather than just popping up an error message telling you what's wrong. There's also the problem that while these are all potential error problems, they can't be cleared by anyone with the technical manuals, which are supposed to cover everything about how to run these trains. Only Newag themselves can reset this system.

Which, you know, keeps SPS from properly fixing them. Only Newag can fix them now, but not because SPS lacks any technical ability, but because Newag sabotaged their own trains. But don't worry: it gets worse.

So now that Dragon Sector knows what's happening, they get to look at other trains. It turns out the trains aren't all running the same software, and there are other tricks in there.

One of them is a "how long has the train been stopped?" check. If the train hasn't hit 60 km/h in 10 days, the train locks itself and won't move until Newag can clear it. So, like, if a train is ever out of service, like it's going to a repair place... it'll break itself. Unless the repair place is owned by Newag.

But two of the trains go further: See, these trains have GPS built in, right? You may be able to guess where this is going...

THEY JUST MAKE THE TRAIN CHECK IF IT IS PARKED AT THEIR COMPETITORS' REPAIR YARD AND BREAK ITSELF IF IT WAS.

The sheer audacity of this move. This is frighteningly bullshit anti-competition self-sabotage.

This has, obviously, made some parts of the Polish government to start investigating this. Newag may be (and hopefully will be) in a lot of trouble.

For more info, there's a great video of a presentation by the three people from Dragon Sector who did the hacking, which was presented at the 37th Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Ars Technica also has an article on it, but it predates the presentation so it doesn't have some of the later details.

Anyway, the good news is that in the end the hackers at Dragon Sector were able to unlock most of the trains: A few had additional trickery that they didn't want to hack around, because it might break the train's certification. For the others, they discovered undocumented "cheat codes" in the software that they could use to bypass the secret lockouts... presumably the same ones that Newag would have used when they "repaired" trains.

Helpless — After semiohazard overexposure, an agent’s attachment to their avatar dissolves and their blackroom exposes, a process called abstraction. These open holes in the noosciocircus simulation spill potentially hazardous memories and emotion from the abstracted agent’s mind. Caine stores them in the cellar, a stimulus-free and infoproofed zone that calms the abstracted and nullifies emitted hazards. He genuinely cares about the inserted, but after only being able to do damage control for a continually deteriorating situation, the weight of his failure is beginning to weigh on him in a way he did not get to learn how to express.
