Keep this in mind as you scale your solution and if your solution has auto-scaling, make sure your maximum scale is accounted for with enough CloudHSM appliances to service the solution. 
 
 Just like scaling, **performance is up to you with CloudHSM**. Performance varies based on which encryption algorithm is used and on how often you need to access or retrieve the keys to encrypt the data. Key management service performance is handled by Amazon and automatically scales as demand requires it. CloudHSM's performance is achieved by adding more appliances and if you need more performance you either add devices or alter the encryption method to the algorithm that is faster.
 
 If your solution is **multi-region**, you should add several **CloudHSM appliances in the second region and work out the cross-region connectivity with a private VPN connection** or some method to ensure the traffic is always protected between the appliance at every layer of the connection. If you have a multi-region solution you need to think about how to **replicate keys and set up additional CloudHSM devices in the regions where you operate**. You can very quickly get into a scenario where you have six or eight devices spread across multiple regions, enabling full redundancy of your encryption keys.
 
-**CloudHSM **is an enterprise class service for secured key storage and can be used as a **root of trust for an enterprise**.

 **CloudHSM is considerably more expensive than Key Management Service**. CloudHSM is a hardware appliance so you have fix costs to provision the CloudHSM device, then an hourly cost to run the appliance. The cost is multiplied by as many CloudHSM appliances that are required to achieve your specific requirements.\
 Additionally, cross consideration must be made in the purchase of third party software such as SafeNet ProtectV software suites and integration time and effort. Key Management Service is a usage based and depends on the number of keys you have and the input and output operations. As key management provides seamless integration with many AWS services, integration costs should be significantly lower. Costs should be considered secondary factor in encryption solutions.

The certificate includes information about the key, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate's contents (called the issuer).

+Microsoft has created **dozens of office document file formats**, many of which are popular for the distribution of phishing attacks and malware because of their ability to **include macros** (VBA scripts). 
 
 Broadly speaking, there are two generations of Office file format: the **OLE formats** (file extensions like RTF, DOC, XLS, PPT), and the "**Office Open XML**" formats (file extensions that include DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). **Both** formats are structured, compound file binary formats that **enable Linked or Embedded content** (Objects). OOXML files are actually zip file containers, meaning that one of the easiest ways to check for hidden data is to simply `unzip` the document:

 Sometimes the challenge is not to find hidden static data, but to **analyze a VBA macro** to determine its behavior. This is a more realistic scenario, and one that analysts in the field perform every day. The aforementioned dissector tools can indicate whether a macro is present, and probably extract it for you. A typical VBA macro in an Office document, on Windows, will download a PowerShell script to %TEMP% and attempt to execute it, in which case you now have a PowerShell script analysis task too. But malicious VBA macros are rarely complicated, since VBA is [typically just used as a jumping-off platform to bootstrap code execution](https://www.lastline.com/labsblog/party-like-its-1999-comeback-of-vba-malware-downloaders-part-3/). In the case where you do need to understand a complicated VBA macro, or if the macro is obfuscated and has an unpacker routine, you don't need to own a license to Microsoft Office to debug this. You can use [Libre Office](http://libreoffice.org): [its interface](http://www.debugpoint.com/2014/09/debugging-libreoffice-macro-basic-using-breakpoint-and-watch/) will be familiar to anyone who has debugged a program; you can set breakpoints and create watch variables and capture values after they have been unpacked but before whatever payload behavior has executed. You can even start a macro of a specific document from a command line:

 Splunk is a data aggregation and search tool often used as a Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM) system. Splunk Enterprise Server is a web application which runs on a server, with agents, called Universal Forwarders, which are installed on every system in the network. Splunk provides agent binaries for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Unix. Many organizations use Syslog to send data to Splunk instead of installing an agent on Linux/Unix hosts but agent installation is becomming increasingly popular.

Essentially, if an attacker is able to win the race by initiating the DEP enrollment before the real device, they're able to assume the identity of that device.

Essentially, if an attacker is able to win the race by initiating the DEP enrollment before the real device, they're able to assume the identity of that device.
 
 Organizations can - and do - leverage MDM to deploy sensitive information such as device and user certificates, VPN configuration data, enrollment agents, Configuration Profiles, and various other internal data and organizational secrets. Additionally, some organizations elect not to require user authentication as part of MDM enrollment. This has various benefits, such as a better user experience, and not having to [expose the internal authentication server to the MDM server to handle MDM enrollments that take place outside of the corporate network](https://docs.simplemdm.com/article/93-ldap-authentication-with-apple-dep).

In essence, OAuth provides developers an authorization mechanism to allow an application to access data or perform certain actions against your account, from another application (the authorization server).

-For example, let’s say website [https://yourtweetreader.com](https://yourtweetreader.com) has functionality to display all tweets you’ve ever sent, including private tweets. In order to do this, OAuth 2.0 is introduced. [https://yourtweetreader.com](https://yourtweetreader.com) will ask you to authorize their Twitter application to access all your Tweets. A consent page will pop up on [https://twitter.com](https://twitter.com) displaying what permissions are being requested, and who the developer requesting it is. Once you authorize the request, [https://yourtweetreader.com](https://yourtweetreader.com) will be able to access to your Tweets on behalf of you. Now, this was very high level, and there’s some complexity here. Taking this example, here’s a bit more details on the particular elements which are important to understand in an OAuth 2.0 context:

In essence, OAuth provides developers an **authorization mechanism to allow an application to access data or perform certain actions against your account, from another application** (the authorization server).
 
-**resource owner**: The `resource owner` is the user/entity granting access to their protected resource, such as their Twitter account Tweets

-**resource server**: The `resource server` is the server handling authenticated requests after the application has obtained an `access token` on behalf of the `resource owner` . In the above example, this would be https://twitter.com
+Elements which are important to understand in an OAuth 2.0 context:
 
-**client application**: The `client application` is the application requesting authorization from the `resource owner`. In this example, this would be https://yourtweetreader.com.
+* **resource owner**: The `resource owner` is the **user/entity** granting access to their protected resource, such as their Twitter account Tweets. In this example, this would be **you**.

+* **authorization server**: The `authorization server` is the **server issuing `access tokens`** to the `client application` **after successfully authenticating** the `resource owner` and obtaining authorization. In the above example, this would be **https://twitter.com**
+* **client\_id**: The `client_id` is the **identifier for the application**. This is a public, **non-secret** unique identifier.
+* **client\_secret:** The `client_secret` is a **secret known only to the application and the authorization server**. This is used to generate `access_tokens`
+* **response\_type**: The `response_type` is a value to detail **which type of token** is being requested, such as `code`
+* **scope**: The `scope` is the **requested level of access** the `client application` is requesting from the `resource owner`
+* **redirect\_uri**: The `redirect_uri` is the **URL the user is redirected to after the authorization is complete**. This usually must match the redirect URL that you have previously registered with the service
+* **state**: The `state` parameter can **persist data between the user being directed to the authorization server and back again**. It’s important that this is a unique value as it serves as a **CSRF protection mechanism** if it contains a unique or random value per request
+* **grant\_type**: The `grant_type` parameter explains **what the grant type is**, and which token is going to be returned
+* **code**: This `code` is the authorization code received from the `authorization server` which will be in the query string parameter “code” in this request. This code is used in conjunction with the `client_id` and `client_secret` by the client application to fetch an `access_token`
+* **access\_token**: The `access_token` is the **token that the client application uses to make API requests** on behalf of a `resource owner`
+* **refresh\_token**: The `refresh_token` allows an application to **obtain a new `access_token` without prompting the user**
 
-**authorization server**: The `authorization server` is the server issuing `access tokens` to the `client application` after successfully authenticating the `resource owner` and obtaining authorization. In the above example, this would be [https://twitter.com](https://twitter.com)

-**client_id**: The `client_id` is the identifier for the application. This is a public, non-secret unique identifier.
+Putting this all together, here is what a **real OAuth flow looks like**:
-
-**client_secret: **The `client_secret` is a secret known only to the application and the authorization server. This is used to generate `access_tokens`
-
-**response_type**: The `response_type` is a value to detail which type of token is being requested, such as `code`
-
-**scope**: The `scope` is the requested level of access the `client application` is requesting from the `resource owner`
-
-**redirect_uri**: The `redirect_uri` is the URL the user is redirected to after the authorization is complete. This usually must match the redirect URL that you have previously registered with the service
-
-**state**: The `state` parameter can persist data between the user being directed to the authorization server and back again. It’s important that this is a unique value as it serves as a CSRF protection mechanism if it contains a unique or random value per request
-
-**grant_type**: The `grant_type` parameter explains what the grant type is, and which token is going to be returned
-
-**code**: This `code` is the authorization code received from the `authorization server` which will be in the query string parameter “code” in this request. This code is used in conjunction with the `client_id` and `client_secret` by the client application to fetch an `access_token`
-
-**access_token**: The `access_token` is the token that the client application uses to make API requests on behalf of a `resource owner`

The `redirect_uri` is very important because sensitive data, such as the `code` is appended to this URL after authorization. If the `redirect_uri` can be redirected to an attacker controlled server, this means the attacker can potentially takeover a victim’s account by using the `code` themselves, and gaining access to the victim’s data.

-### SSRFs parameters <a href="bda5" id="bda5"></a>
+### CSRF - Improper handling of state parameter <a href="#bda5" id="bda5"></a>
 
-One of the hidden URLs that you may miss is the **Dynamic Client Registration endpoint**. In order to successfully authenticate users, OAuth servers need to know details about the client application, such as the "client_name", "client_secret", "redirect_uris", and so on. These details can be provided via local configuration, but OAuth authorization servers may also have a special registration endpoint. This endpoint is normally mapped to "/register" and accepts POST requests with the following format:
+Very often, the **`state` parameter is completely omitted or used in the wrong way**. If a state parameter is **nonexistent**, **or a static value** that never changes, the OAuth flow will very likely be **vulnerable to CSRF**. Sometimes, even if there is a `state` parameter, the **application might not do any validation of the parameter** and an attack will work. The way to exploit this would be to go through the authorization process on your own account, and pause right after authorising. You will then come across a request such as:
 
 ```
+https://yourtweetreader.com?code=asd91j3jd91j92j1j9d1
+```
+
+After you receive this request, you can then **drop the request because these codes are typically one-time use**. You can then send this URL to a **logged-in user, and it will add your account to their account**. At first, this might not sound very sensitive since you are simply adding your account to a victim’s account. However, many OAuth implementations are for sign-in purposes, so if you can add your Google account which is used for logging in, you could potentially perform an **Account Takeover** with a single click as logging in with your Google account would give you access to the victim’s account.
+
+You can find an **example** about this in this [**CTF writeup**](https://github.com/gr455/ctf-writeups/blob/master/hacktivity20/notes\_surfer.md) and in the **HTB box called Oouch**.
+
+I’ve also seen the state parameter used as an additional redirect value several times. The application will use `redirect_uri` for the initial redirect, but then the `state` parameter as a second redirect which could contain the `code` within the query parameters, or referer header.
+
+One important thing to note is this doesn’t just apply to logging in and account takeover type situations. I’ve seen misconfigurations in:
+
+* Slack integrations allowing an attacker to add their Slack account as the recipient of all notifications/messages
+* Stripe integrations allowing an attacker to overwrite payment info and accept payments from the victim’s customers
+* PayPal integrations allowing an attacker to add their PayPal account to the victim’s account, which would deposit money to the attacker’s PayPal
+
+### Pre Account Takeover <a href="#ebe4" id="ebe4"></a>
+
+One of the other more common issues I see is when applications allow “Sign in with X” but also username/password. There are 2 different ways to attack this:
+
+1. If the application does **not require email verification on account creation**, try **creating an account with a victim’s email address and attacker password** before the victim has registered. If the **victim** then tries to register or sign in **with a third party**, such as Google, it’s possible the application will do a lookup, see that email is already registered, then l**ink their Google account to the attacker created account**. This is a “**pre account takeover**” where an attacker will have access to the victim’s account if they created it prior to the victim registering.
+2. If an **OAuth app does not require email verification**, try signing up with that OAuth app with a **victim’s email address**. The same issue as above could exist, but you’d be attacking it from the other direction and getting access to the victim’s account for an account takeover.
+
+### Disclosure of Secrets <a href="#e177" id="e177"></a>
+
+It’s very important to recognize **which of the many OAuth parameters are secret**, and to protect those. For example, leaking the `client_id` is perfectly fine and necessary, but leaking the **`client_secret` is dangerous**. If this is leaked, the **attacker** can potentially **abuse the trust and identity of the trusted client application to steal user `access_tokens` and private information/access for their integrated accounts**. Going back to our earlier example, one issue I’ve seen is performing this step from the client, instead of the server:
+
+_5._ [_https://yourtweetreader.com_](https://yourtweetreader.com) _will then take that `code` , and using their application’s `client_id` and `client_secret` , will make a request from the server to retrieve an `access_token` on behalf of you, which will allow them to access the permissions you consented to._
+
+**If this is done from the client, the `client_secret` will be leaked and users will be able to generate `access_tokens` on behalf of the application**. With some social engineering, they can also **add more scopes to the OAuth authorization** and it will all appear legitimate as the request will come from the trusted client application.
+
+### Client Secret Bruteforce
+
+You can try to **bruteforce the client\_secret** of a service provider with the identity provider in order to be try to steal accounts.\
+The request to BF may look similar to:
+
+```
+POST /token HTTP/1.1
+content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
+host: 10.10.10.10:3000
+content-length: 135
+Connection: close

+```
+
+### Referer Header leaking Code + State
+
+Once the client has the **code and state**, if it's **reflected inside the Referer header** when he browses to a different page, then it's vulnerable.
+
+### Access Token Stored in Browser History
+
+Go to the **browser history and check if the access token is saved in there**.
+
+### Everlasting Authorization Code
+
+The **authorization code should live just for some time to limit the time window where an attacker can steal  and use it**.
+
+### Authorization/Refresh Token not bound to client
+
+If you can get the **authorization code and use it with a different client then you can takeover other accounts**.

Alternatively, the server may just include the logo via a client-side "\<img>" tag. Although this doesn't lead to SSRF, it may lead to Cross Site Scripting if the URL is not escaped.

For example, leaking the `client_id` is perfectly fine and necessary, but leaking the `client_secret` is dangerous. If this is leaked, the attacker can potentially use the trust and identity of the trusted client application to steal user `access_tokens` and private information/access for their integrated accounts. Going back to our earlier example, one issue I’ve seen is performing this step from the client, instead of the server:
-
-5\. [https://yourtweetreader.com](https://yourtweetreader.com) will then take that `code` , and using their application’s `client_id` and `client_secret` , will make a request from the server to retrieve an `access_token` on behalf of you, which will allow them to access the permissions you consented to.
-
-If this is done from the client, the `client_secret` will be leaked and users will be able to generate `access_tokens` on behalf of the application. With some social engineering, they can also add more scopes to the OAuth authorization and it will all appear legitimate as the request will come from the trusted client application.
-
-### Referer Header leaking Code + State
-
-Once the client has the code and state, if it's reflected inside the Referer header when he browses to a different page, then it's vulnerable.
-
-### Access Token Stored in Browser History
-
-Go to the browser history and check if the access token is saved in there.
-
-### Everlasting Authorization Code
-
-The authorization code should live just for some time to limit the time window where an attacker can steal  and use it.
-
-### Authorization/Refresh Token not bound to client
-
-If you can get the authorization code and use it with a different client then you can takeover other accounts.
-
-### Client Secret Bruteforce
-
-You can try to **bruteforce the client_secret **of a service provider with the identity provider in order to be try to steal accounts.\
-The request to BF may look similar to:
-
-```
-POST /token HTTP/1.1
-content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
-host: 10.10.10.10:3000
-content-length: 135
-Connection: close
-
-code=77515&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F10.10.10.10%3A3000%2Fcallback&grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=public_client_id&client_secret=[bruteforce]

-There’s plenty of other attacks and things that can go wrong in an OAuth implementation, but these are some of the more common ones that you will see. These misconfigurations are surprisingly common, and a very large quantity of bugs come from these. I intended to keep the “Quick Primer” rather short, but quickly realized all of the knowledge was necessary for the rest of the post. Given this, it makes sense that most developers aren’t going to know all the details for implementing securely. More often than not, these issues are high severity as it involves private data leak/manipulation and account takeovers. I’d like to go into more detail in each of these categories at some point, but wanted this to serve as a general introduction and give ideas for things to look out for!

-The **Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)** is a [Denial of Service](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Denial_of_Service) attack, that exploits the fact that most Regular Expression implementations may reach extreme situations that cause them to work very slowly (exponentially related to input size). An attacker can then cause a program using a Regular Expression to enter these extreme situations and then hang for a very long time.

-The Regular Expression naïve algorithm builds a [Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (NFA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_finite_state_machine), which is a finite state machine where for each pair of state and input symbol there may be several possible next states. Then the engine starts to make transition until the end of the input. Since there may be several possible next states, a deterministic algorithm is used. This algorithm tries one by one all the possible paths (if needed) until a match is found (or all the paths are tried and fail).

 For the input `aaaaX` there are 16 possible paths in the above graph. But for `aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaX` there are 65536 possible paths, and the number is double for each additional `a`. This is an extreme case where the naïve algorithm is problematic, because it must pass on many many paths, and then fail.
 
-Notice, that not all algorithms are naïve, and actually Regex algorithms can be written in an efficient way. Unfortunately, most Regex engines today try to solve not only “pure” Regexes, but also “expanded” Regexes with “special additions”, such as back-references that cannot be always be solved efficiently (see **Patterns for non-regular languages** in [Wiki-Regex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) for some more details). So even if the Regex is not “expanded”, a naïve algorithm is used.
