begood Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 This is the video of the presentation "Hiding in the Familiar: Steganography and Vulnerabilities in Popular Archives Formats" given by Mario Vuksan, Tomislav Pericin & Brian Karney at Blackhat Europe 2010.Abstract: Exploiting archive formats can lead to steganographic data hiding and to processing errors with serious forensic consequences. These formats are very interesting as they are commonly found on every PC, Apple or Linux machine, and it is popularly believed that they are well understood and trusted. Can exploits ever be present in file formats that have been in use for over ten or even twenty years?Through deep format analysis, beyond fuzzing, we look at what goes wrong when the format specifications are interpreted differently. Can you trust programs that work with archives? Can you even trust your antivirus? We will answer these questions and disclose for the first time 15 newly discovered vulnerabilities in ZIP, 7ZIP, RAR, CAB and GZIP file formats revealing the impact they have on anti-malware scanners, digital forensic, security gateways and IPS appliances.This talk will include demo of ArchiveInsider, a new forensics tool that detects and extracts hidden data and fully validates vulnerable file formats. We will demonstrate file format steganography, file malformation, and even data "self destruction," all with tools that you use and trust.Thanks go out to Netinfinity, creator of Ubuntu Pentest Edition for referring this video to us.http://securitytube.net/Steganography-and-Vulnerabilities-in-Popular-Archives-Formats-%28Blackhat-2010%29-video.aspx Quote
