Getting ready for Black Hat?

August is right around the corner, our favorite time of the year - Black Hat and DEF CON! SCYTHE is gearing up for a great week in Las Vegas - and we’re especially excited because this is our first official hacker summer camp since officially launching the company last October. Here’s a bit of what we’ll be up to!
SCYTHE will make it’s official debut on Wednesday, August 8 and Thursday, August 9 at the Black Hat Innovation City. To jump-start the day, SCYTHE will be hosting a nice breakfast with our friends at StackRox. RSVP here! Then swing by our exhibit in booth IC2432 on the Business Hall Floor, or better yet, hit us up to schedule some one-on-one demo time to see the SCYTHE platform live in action. Friendly SCYTHE experts will be there to provide opportunities to see the SCYTHE automated breach simulation platform and discuss how it might help your organization by providing continuous enterprise insight. 
After an action-packed few days at Black Hat, SCYTHE will be heading over to the ICS Village at DEF CON. In addition to helping attendees understand Industrial Control System security by providing hands-on experience, SCYTHE Founder and CEO, who is also an ICS Village Co-Founder, Bryson Bort, will be giving a talk, “TOR for the IoT - aka TORT Reform” in the ICS Village.  Join him and the rest of the SCYTHE team for his talk at 1:55 pm on Saturday.


To round out a productive work week, SCYTHE will once again be partnering with GRIMM to sponsor DEF CON’s Saturday night arcade party. So thinking about taking the redeye out of Vegas Saturday night? Think again! This year’s final official DEF CON party will be one you absolutely cannot miss.    
We look forward to seeing you there!

New Old Bugs in the Linux Kernel

  Introduction Dusting off a few new (old) vulns Have you ever been casually perusing the source code of the Linux kernel and thought to yourself "Wait a minute, that can’t be right"? That’s the position we found ourselves in when we found three bugs in a forgotten corner of the mainline Linux kernel that turned out to be about 15 years old. Unlike most things that we find gathering dust, these bugs turned out to still be good, and one turned out to be useable as a Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) in multiple Linux environments. Who you calling SCSI? The particular subsystem in question is the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) data transport, which is a standard for transferring data made for connecting computers with peripheral devices, originally via a physical cable, like hard drives. SCSI is a venerable standard originally published in 1986 and was the go-to for server setups, and iSCSI is basically SCSI over TCP. SCSI is still in use today, especially...

Automated Struct Identification with Ghidra

At GRIMM, we do a lot of vulnerability and binary analysis research. As such, we often seek to automate some of the analysis steps and ease the burden on the individual researcher. One task which can be very mundane and time consuming for certain types of programs (C++, firmware, etc), is identifying structures' fields and applying the structure types to the corresponding functions within the decompiler. Thus, this summer we gave one of our interns,  Alex Lin , the task of developing a Ghidra plugin to automatically identify a binary's structs and mark up the decompilation accordingly. Alex's writeup below describes the results of the project, GEARSHIFT, which automates struct identification of function parameters by symbolically interpreting Ghidra's P-Code to determine how each parameter is accessed. The Ghidra plugin described in this blog can be found in our GEARSHIFT repository . Background Ghidra is a binary reverse engineering tool developed by the National Sec...

SOHO Device Exploitation

Netgear R7000 SOHO Device Exploitation After a long day of hard research, it’s fun to relax, kick back, and do something easy. While modern software development processes have vastly improved the quality of commercial software as compared to 10-15 years ago, consumer network devices have largely been left behind. Thus, when it’s time for some quick fun and a nice confidence boost, I like to analyze Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) devices. This blog describes one such session of auditing the Netgear R7000 router , analyzing the resulting vulnerability, and the exploit development process that followed. The write-up and code for the vulnerability described in this blog post can be found in our NotQuite0DayFriday repository. Initial Analysis The first step when analyzing a SOHO device is to obtain the firmware. Thankfully, Netgear’s support website hosts all of the firmwares for the R7000. The Netgear R7000 version 1.0.9.88 firmware used in this blog post can be downloaded from this web...
