Advanced Evasion of IDS Buffer Overflow Detection

Jeru

Jeru explores advanced evasion of ids buffer overflow detection at DEF CON 8, examining firewalls and practical defenses.

Summary

Architecture and Background

Jeru - Advanced evasion of IDS buffer overflow detection This is a technical talk which assumes the audience understands x86 or SPARC assembly, and buffer overflow methodologies.

Vulnerability Analysis

It presents various stealth coding techniques that can be applied to preventing detection by most current generation IDSs.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

The talk also includes a live demonstration of exploits written to evade IDS detection, source code of the examples included.

Remediation and Defensive Strategies

A paper documenting the techniques, and sample code will be available from after the presentation. jeru is a member of New Hack City, a hacker collective based in San Francisco. He has worked in digital design, and embedded programming. He currently spends his time as part of an IDS development team, providing application level security assessment, and pickin' his fro.
