00:10.180 --> 00:11.380
Hey everybody.

00:12.700 --> 00:15.820
Alright, thanks for coming to Not A Google Talk.

00:20.960 --> 00:26.660
And those of you that have seen me speak before know that this is going to drive me absolutely insane.

00:26.660 --> 00:28.280
I cannot stand in one place.

00:28.360 --> 00:31.440
You see me doing a little dance, that's what it's all about.

00:31.680 --> 00:33.160
Alright, let's get started.

00:33.160 --> 00:38.960
Just a show of hands, how many of you have read any of the books in the Stealing the Network series?

00:38.980 --> 00:40.080
Show of hands.

00:40.080 --> 00:40.960
Excellent.

00:41.340 --> 00:45.020
How many of you have Stealing the Identity, the latest in the series?

00:45.640 --> 00:46.360
Excellent.

00:46.360 --> 00:48.560
How many of you are authors in Stealing the Identity?

00:48.560 --> 00:49.820
There we go.

00:50.780 --> 00:52.400
There it is, show of love.

00:52.540 --> 01:05.220
Alright, what we're going to do here is, those of you that aren't familiar with the stealing story, there was some interesting stuff that happened in the book with this psychopath named Newt who happens to be sitting in the front row.

01:05.680 --> 01:10.080
I won't point him out, but you can narrow it down from the hands that went up.

01:10.540 --> 01:14.940
Anyway, this guy Newt was up to absolutely no good.

01:14.980 --> 01:18.620
His whole thing was he didn't want to get caught by the man.

01:18.620 --> 01:27.740
So what he did is he took all his hard drives, took all his CDs, took all his removable media, and melted them down when he was done doing his thing.

01:28.420 --> 01:36.580
Now when Singers came to me and they were like, hey we got this great book series called Stealing, we want you to write on it.

01:36.580 --> 01:38.240
I was like, sweet.

01:38.320 --> 01:40.860
I was like, this is excellent, rock on.

01:40.940 --> 01:44.420
They were like, well you get to catch Newt.

01:44.640 --> 01:46.600
I was like, oh.

01:47.160 --> 01:50.220
Well the bottom line was, it was a tough job.

01:50.220 --> 02:01.760
So what I'm going to try to do is I'm going to try to give you an idea of what it's like to try to catch a guy like this who's ultra paranoid, who does everything in his power to basically keep from getting caught.

02:02.080 --> 02:07.460
And as it turned out, Newt's death was going to be a death by a thousand cuts.

02:07.460 --> 02:13.500
I'm not going to ruin anything and I'm not going to say that Newt died, but you'll have to read the book to find out.

02:14.640 --> 02:19.880
Alright, so anyway, that's basically all that stuff that I said.

02:19.880 --> 02:25.900
We are going to be looking at Newt's place through the eyes of this guy I'm calling Uber Agent.

02:26.540 --> 02:31.260
So for the next half an hour, 40 minutes or so, you get to play Uber Agent.

02:31.380 --> 02:35.440
And we're going to have some interesting games as we go through here.

02:35.440 --> 02:44.720
We're going to be playing some find the evidence games, where you guys as an audience have to try to find the evidence in various places.

02:45.020 --> 02:49.460
I'm going to show you some pictures, we're going to have a little fun with it.

02:49.900 --> 02:56.380
I've got a pile of books up here that I'm going to be giving away to those of you that find the evidence the quickest.

02:56.800 --> 03:00.020
The whole hand-raising thing, it's not going to cut it.

03:00.660 --> 03:11.420
If you want a book, and I'm doing a find the evidence contest here, you have to stand up and scream at the top of your lungs the correct answer.

03:11.580 --> 03:14.080
You've got to commit if you want the books.

03:15.280 --> 03:18.100
Now, we're going to start off pretty lightweight.

03:18.100 --> 03:20.240
This is not for a prize.

03:20.440 --> 03:22.760
Please remain seated.

03:23.280 --> 03:27.360
Help me find the evidence.

03:30.120 --> 03:31.260
Thank you.

03:31.580 --> 03:33.880
We're going to start off pretty easy.

03:34.080 --> 03:37.620
Now, in the stealing book, Newt did not have an iPod.

03:37.620 --> 03:39.040
That wasn't part of the story.

03:39.040 --> 03:43.600
But one of the interesting devices that I'm seeing all over the place are these iPods.

03:43.600 --> 03:47.420
And everybody knows they hold music, they can hold data, the whole nine yards.

03:47.420 --> 03:51.200
But the bottom line is there's a whole lot to it that folks really haven't considered.

03:51.200 --> 03:55.540
So what I'm going to do is sort of take you through what some of that stuff might be.

03:57.840 --> 04:15.040
First of all, this is the standard practice for the man, the Fed, is to grab a device like this and pick it up and sort of flip through it and see what's there, hit that little about menu, get information from the iPod.

04:15.040 --> 04:17.900
Well, the simple fact of the matter is that's bad news.

04:18.240 --> 04:24.740
Picking up any sort of device on a scene and mucking with it is going to potentially destroy evidence.

04:24.920 --> 04:29.600
And if a decent lawyer gets a hold of that in court, that evidence that you discover is going to get tossed.

04:30.020 --> 04:33.180
So doing this is a bad idea.

04:33.420 --> 04:38.480
So let's talk about some of the things that we can do to sort of investigate these things.

04:38.580 --> 04:45.820
I'll be the first to tell you, and no offense to those that do forensics full time, forensics is a little bit dry.

04:47.900 --> 04:49.100
No offense.

04:49.100 --> 04:51.560
I mean, CSI is very cool, right?

04:52.480 --> 05:02.080
The slightly aging but still quite attractive redhead and the not so aging and quite attractive brunette make it interesting.

05:02.720 --> 05:04.700
But that has nothing to do with forensics.

05:04.700 --> 05:07.080
But I'll try to spice it up a little bit.

05:07.240 --> 05:08.000
All right.

05:08.580 --> 05:16.980
As far as an investigative platform for these things, I hate to be the some sort of raving Mac fan.

05:17.040 --> 05:28.380
But the simple fact of the matter is if you've got an iPod that was formatted on a Mac, the best way to actually take apart that iPod forensically is by using a Mac.

05:29.200 --> 05:35.240
One of the best reasons for that, the biggest reasons for that is quite simply the HFS plus support.

05:35.280 --> 05:39.740
The iPod is basically an HFS plus portable file system.

05:40.320 --> 05:43.440
That's a Mac native file system.

05:43.500 --> 05:45.640
That's not to say Linux can't handle it.

05:45.640 --> 05:48.040
Linux can handle HFS plus.

05:48.260 --> 05:50.280
But it's not native on Linux.

05:50.300 --> 05:53.880
And Windows with HFS plus, well, just forget about it.

05:54.120 --> 05:54.720
All right.

05:54.720 --> 05:59.360
The bottom line is most of the time you're going to want to be using a Mac to actually pull these things apart.

05:59.800 --> 06:00.440
All right.

06:00.440 --> 06:11.920
Now, one of the things that a good investigator has to sort of figure out, and this is all part of the big puzzle, is I've got an investigative platform, what do I actually have to do to keep from tampering the evidence that's on this thing?

06:13.060 --> 06:14.860
All right.

06:14.860 --> 06:29.120
And one of the things that needs to be considered is the fact that when you slap an iPod into a Mac, you connect it up, one of the first things that happens is this demon, this disk arbitration demon, actually latches onto the iPod.

06:29.120 --> 06:36.220
This is the demon that actually causes things like iTunes to launch and the contact lists to update and all that stuff to sync.

06:36.620 --> 06:40.080
Well, from an investigative standpoint, that's bad news.

06:40.340 --> 06:40.820
All right?

06:40.820 --> 06:45.980
You don't want your investigation machine tramping all over this iPod and destroying evidence.

06:45.980 --> 06:48.880
So one of the first things you need to do is you need to hammer this demon.

06:49.100 --> 06:53.620
Now, this demon automatically restarts when you kill it.

06:53.620 --> 06:53.900
Okay?

06:53.900 --> 07:04.720
So actually what you have to do is you have to take this demon and you have to change mode it to 0, 0, 0, physically change mode the binary in S bin and then kill it.

07:05.020 --> 07:05.160
Okay?

07:05.160 --> 07:12.840
Now, once you do that, you get to the point where you've got a device that you can actually hook up to a machine and start looking for evidence.

07:12.860 --> 07:13.460
All right.

07:13.460 --> 07:15.420
But we're not exactly there yet.

07:16.980 --> 07:22.460
One of the other things that we need to do is we need to hook this thing up so that it's in sort of a read-only mode.

07:22.460 --> 07:22.920
Okay?

07:22.920 --> 07:24.980
And that takes a little bit of work as well.

07:24.980 --> 07:30.540
Just killing the demon that automatically connects to this thing and launches iTunes isn't going to be enough.

07:30.580 --> 07:33.400
So we need to get it into sort of a USB disk mode.

07:33.400 --> 07:37.460
How many of you have been inside an iPod's diagnostic mode?

07:37.460 --> 07:38.560
Show of hands.

07:39.160 --> 07:39.520
Okay.

07:39.520 --> 07:42.140
How many of you have actually used an iPod?

07:42.460 --> 07:43.260
Okay.

07:43.260 --> 07:44.420
Quite a few.

07:44.440 --> 07:51.500
This diagnostic mode is key to actually pulling stuff off of the iPod without totally hosing yourself in court.

07:51.640 --> 07:54.620
And this is a third generation iPod.

07:54.620 --> 07:57.620
The way this thing works is slightly different.

07:58.040 --> 08:01.440
And I know this looks like a cheat on like a PlayStation or something.

08:01.480 --> 08:01.880
Right?

08:01.980 --> 08:03.980
So you power it off.

08:03.980 --> 08:06.700
You hold down the forward, the backward, and the center button.

08:06.700 --> 08:09.220
Select and release them all at the same time.

08:09.220 --> 08:11.080
If you do that, you get the cheat code.

08:11.280 --> 08:11.800
All right?

08:11.820 --> 08:14.220
And the cheat code is diagnostic mode.

08:14.540 --> 08:16.580
You get a menu that looks something like this.

08:16.580 --> 08:18.320
It's got a bunch of different options.

08:18.380 --> 08:22.900
One of the things that we're going to hit is we're going to hit USB mode inside the iPod.

08:24.740 --> 08:27.500
After we reboot, we get a screen that looks like this.

08:28.600 --> 08:29.020
All right.

08:29.020 --> 08:33.680
At this point, you sort of have a choice between treating this like a fire wire device and a USB device.

08:34.260 --> 08:36.140
I'm going to fly through the boring stuff.

08:36.180 --> 08:40.900
Once you get all that done, you get a screen that looks like this that basically says I'm in disk mode.

08:40.900 --> 08:42.880
So the iPod is no longer an iPod.

08:42.880 --> 08:47.400
It's basically a disk that's about as close to read-only as you can get.

08:47.680 --> 09:00.980
Now, the reason I'm dragging you through all this boring stuff is most people don't realize how difficult it is to actually be an investigator, to be one of the good guys, to actually go through all this stuff to try to catch, well, people like you.

09:03.240 --> 09:07.360
But the bottom line is, you know, the good guys are pretty smart, too.

09:07.380 --> 09:09.120
Not that I'm choosing sides here.

09:09.120 --> 09:11.560
And they're not nearly as dumb as we paint them out to be.

09:11.560 --> 09:17.160
Simple fact of the matter is, they will go through this process to actually get to your stuff that's on the iPod.

09:17.160 --> 09:20.580
So the question becomes, what exactly can be on an iPod?

09:21.700 --> 09:23.880
Here's a file listing.

09:23.880 --> 09:27.060
The iPod actually just shows up as another device on the machine.

09:27.060 --> 09:28.600
So we mount the device.

09:28.600 --> 09:30.020
We do a listing.

09:30.220 --> 09:32.860
Can anybody see anything interesting about this file listing?

09:32.860 --> 09:34.040
Anything that stands out?

09:41.010 --> 09:43.830
Next time, answer slower so I can swallow.

09:45.750 --> 09:46.430
Yeah.

09:47.950 --> 09:48.830
Whew.

09:49.290 --> 09:50.550
Yeah, there's a nopics.

09:50.550 --> 09:52.790
There's a nopics.img file on here.

09:52.790 --> 09:55.710
This is a persistent encrypted nopics home directory.

09:55.710 --> 09:58.570
Those of you that use nopics realize what this thing is.

09:58.630 --> 10:04.170
The bottom line is, yeah, you can absolutely put whatever you want on this iPod as a file.

10:04.170 --> 10:13.190
But one of the things that gets really interesting is when you start using the iPod for other things, for example, booting it, booting from it as a device, okay?

10:13.190 --> 10:17.570
Booting from it with a nopics CD or booting from it absolutely natively.

10:17.570 --> 10:21.550
Actually loading a distribution of nopics on it, booting right from the iPod.

10:21.550 --> 10:24.070
You've got basically a portable platform.

10:24.070 --> 10:25.910
It's got all your attack tools on it.

10:25.910 --> 10:28.490
You can use it just like any other machine.

10:28.490 --> 10:30.350
Hook it up, boot, and you go.

10:30.690 --> 10:31.510
Where's Tyler?

10:31.510 --> 10:32.470
Is Tyler here?

10:33.570 --> 10:34.650
Where's Tyler?

10:34.650 --> 10:35.390
All right, Tyler.

10:36.750 --> 10:37.590
Thank you.

10:37.590 --> 10:41.790
Everybody give our newest goon, Tyler, a big round of applause right there.

10:45.860 --> 10:46.400
All right.

10:46.400 --> 10:49.760
Now that I've absolutely embarrassed her and she's going to hide from all of you.

10:49.900 --> 10:54.560
Tyler actually submitted a talk that had nothing to do, that had everything to do with iPods.

10:54.560 --> 10:57.760
It was just about iPods and all the cool stuff you can do with them.

10:57.760 --> 11:06.840
She's actually got a shuffle that she can boot from that boots nopics but also comes up in iTunes natively so that it can have music running from it, attack tools, the whole nine yards.

11:06.900 --> 11:09.720
Yeah, with a little device the size of a stick of gum.

11:09.880 --> 11:11.240
It's pretty cool stuff.

11:11.240 --> 11:14.200
Show of hands, how many people would have been interested in a talk like that?

11:15.160 --> 11:15.780
Cool.

11:15.780 --> 11:16.580
Thank you.

11:16.800 --> 11:17.040
All right.

11:17.040 --> 11:19.140
Anybody that's on the review board, take note.

11:19.520 --> 11:20.220
All right.

11:20.740 --> 11:22.200
I've done my plug.

11:23.660 --> 11:24.080
Okay.

11:24.080 --> 11:26.660
There's obviously other stuff that's on an iPod.

11:26.920 --> 11:30.760
This shows a screen from an AAC file, just a music file.

11:31.160 --> 11:39.940
Those of you that have messed around in the AAC space know that you can absolutely use these things and lock them down so that you have to authorize them on various machines and all that.

11:40.120 --> 12:00.220
Well, the thing that's interesting from an evidence standpoint, remembering we're supposed to be Uber agent here trying to catch that guy, oh, not going to point at him, that bastard Newt, who's ultra paranoid, is that we need to look in places like music files on an MP3 player in ways that are not necessarily standard.

12:00.220 --> 12:05.260
For example, you can see when I launch this AAC file that the registered e-mail address pops up.

12:05.380 --> 12:08.400
This is the user that actually, you know, purchased this song.

12:08.400 --> 12:10.320
It's the e-mail address that they used.

12:10.760 --> 12:16.620
So, yeah, you can pull out e-mail addresses from the music files as an investigator, use those for more leads.

12:19.480 --> 12:20.220
Okay.

12:20.260 --> 12:26.280
The other thing that's often overlooked, and I know this is old news, but metadata inside the files.

12:26.280 --> 12:29.980
You know, you get a music file, you get any kind of file, there's a potential for metadata.

12:30.040 --> 12:31.840
You can have all sorts of stuff in here.

12:31.840 --> 12:33.900
Anybody see anything odd with this one?

12:36.390 --> 12:38.030
Wow, you guys are good.

12:38.250 --> 12:39.650
Yeah, the comments field.

12:40.070 --> 12:42.810
There's been a lot of work done recently in covert channels.

12:42.810 --> 12:48.990
A good friend of mine, Russ Rogers, is doing the hacking the terror network book, talks about covert channels and things like that.

12:48.990 --> 12:59.410
The simple fact of the matter is, as bad guys, I'm not generalizing, but, yeah, as bad guys, you know perfectly well that you can use covert channels just about anywhere.

12:59.410 --> 13:00.790
Music files are no different.

13:00.790 --> 13:06.470
A really good investigator is going to actually look in those files to see if there's anything that's out of the ordinary.

13:07.230 --> 13:09.290
And this is just one of the spots that he's going to look.

13:12.560 --> 13:13.160
All right.

13:13.180 --> 13:19.140
Also, the normal stuff that would be on an iPod, you can have your contact list, you can have your calendar, you can have all that stuff.

13:20.680 --> 13:26.460
This is just an example, but, yeah, your address book syncs to it, so an investigator is going to pull all that stuff off.

13:26.660 --> 13:27.740
Yada, yada, yada.

13:28.640 --> 13:29.840
All right.

13:29.840 --> 13:38.020
Other things about MP3 files in general is a lot of them use the metadata to store information about last time played and all that kind of stuff.

13:38.020 --> 13:39.660
All that stuff's going to be on there.

13:39.660 --> 13:45.940
Also, if the investigator is really good, one of the things he's going to do is he's going to take all the music files, he's going to run hashes against them.

13:46.180 --> 14:00.580
And if there's peer-to-peer software on the machine, the bad guy's got peer-to-peer software, he's actually in some cases going to check the file hashes of the same songs on a peer-to-peer network to see if the file hashes match.

14:00.580 --> 14:05.480
You know, if you've got somebody that's just pirating music, there's a good chance that these hashes are going to match.

14:05.500 --> 14:17.300
If the investigator finds a song whose MD5, I'm sorry, you don't use MD5 anymore, thanks, Dan, your SHA1 hash doesn't match, it'd be something worth looking at.

14:18.240 --> 14:18.900
All right.

14:18.900 --> 14:20.060
Digital cameras.

14:21.140 --> 14:27.720
Obviously, I'm doing some of the more obvious things first, because, you know, investigators, we're just going to do real obvious stuff.

14:27.720 --> 14:30.080
Digital cameras, absolutely, they're going to be picked up.

14:30.080 --> 14:32.900
What about the images that are actually on these cameras?

14:33.980 --> 14:38.440
Well, first of all, yeah, there are images on digital cameras.

14:38.440 --> 14:39.060
Hello.

14:39.320 --> 14:39.940
You know?

14:40.160 --> 14:47.480
I think a lot of investigators and a lot of the good guys actually forget the fact that they're pictures, they're not just data.

14:47.620 --> 14:54.020
So the simple fact is actually looking at the pictures themselves to try to pull out evidence from the image themselves is a good idea.

14:54.120 --> 14:58.640
For example, here's an image with all sorts of metadata.

14:59.060 --> 15:04.260
I know it's probably very hard to read, but can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture?

15:05.460 --> 15:06.580
What was it?

15:07.720 --> 15:08.400
Huh?

15:09.540 --> 15:11.520
There's lots of network cables, yeah.

15:11.640 --> 15:14.420
Let me give you a little bit of a hint.

15:14.420 --> 15:20.420
The date time stamp on here shows the time as being approximately 4 in the morning.

15:23.450 --> 15:24.330
Absolutely.

15:24.370 --> 15:25.490
Shouldn't be daylight.

15:25.490 --> 15:25.670
Okay?

15:25.670 --> 15:32.930
The simple fact of the matter is there should not be daylight at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the question is what does that mean?

15:32.990 --> 15:33.530
Okay?

15:33.530 --> 15:34.750
As evidence.

15:35.670 --> 15:36.410
You know?

15:36.930 --> 15:38.190
Could mean a lot of things.

15:38.190 --> 15:40.690
Could mean the date time stamp on the camera is broken.

15:40.690 --> 15:43.130
What if the date time on the camera is right?

15:45.030 --> 15:45.630
That's right.

15:45.630 --> 15:47.790
The picture was taken in a different time zone.

15:47.790 --> 15:49.390
So it's things like that.

15:49.390 --> 15:52.790
The actual time on the digital camera, you can't pull off.

15:52.790 --> 15:57.010
You actually have to look at the digital camera itself and figure out what the time is set to.

15:57.790 --> 16:08.950
This was actually used in one of the books to catch somebody that was, and this was the stealing book, to actually figure out that somebody took the picture in another country.

16:09.250 --> 16:09.430
Okay?

16:09.430 --> 16:13.690
So the investigator actually picked up on that and went, okay, what are my choices?

16:13.690 --> 16:15.370
What countries is this daylight?

16:15.370 --> 16:16.270
Let's narrow it down.

16:16.270 --> 16:17.410
Let's cross-reference it.

16:17.410 --> 16:18.450
Yada, yada, yada.

16:18.630 --> 16:20.010
Another plug for stealing.

16:20.010 --> 16:20.810
Thank you.

16:22.430 --> 16:23.090
All right.

16:23.090 --> 16:25.370
A little bit more about EXIF stuff.

16:26.190 --> 16:29.350
Are the date times consistent with the pictures?

16:29.550 --> 16:33.370
There could be potential for thumbnail inconsistencies.

16:33.370 --> 16:35.750
You look at a picture, you look at the embedded thumbnail.

16:35.750 --> 16:41.510
If it's been processed in some sort of imaging program that didn't update the thumbnail, you can see the inconsistencies there.

16:41.510 --> 16:42.790
All sorts of stuff.

16:44.210 --> 16:44.930
All right.

16:44.930 --> 16:49.170
Now, I know these are very hard to read, but there's two images here.

16:49.170 --> 16:52.230
Can anybody tell me what's different between the two images?

16:54.110 --> 16:55.030
Good.

16:55.030 --> 16:56.030
Sizes.

16:56.850 --> 16:59.990
The create time and dates are different.

16:59.990 --> 17:02.950
The stamp on the camera software has changed.

17:02.950 --> 17:08.370
It's gone from being an actual camera stamp to being a Photoshop stamp.

17:08.810 --> 17:20.570
I know this is old stuff, but the bottom line is the good guys are actually going to be using these techniques to figure out if you've processed an image outside the camera, modified it in any way, et cetera, et cetera.

17:23.170 --> 17:24.290
All right.

17:25.510 --> 17:29.270
Now, this one's easy, so it's not for a book.

17:30.050 --> 17:31.850
Not for a book.

17:31.850 --> 17:32.810
Sorry.

17:34.010 --> 17:34.650
Okay.

17:35.050 --> 17:36.730
No, it's not the USB.

17:36.730 --> 17:37.530
Sit down.

17:38.150 --> 17:40.390
For a book, where's the evidence?

17:42.050 --> 17:45.270
She stood up and was very bold, and you get a book.

17:45.270 --> 17:46.030
Come on up.

17:54.210 --> 17:55.210
All right.

17:55.350 --> 17:56.190
Very nice.

17:56.190 --> 17:58.610
You get the idea how this game works, right?

17:58.610 --> 18:00.390
Yeah, there's a USB there.

18:00.390 --> 18:01.810
There's a PowerBook sitting there.

18:01.810 --> 18:04.230
Yeah, it's real obvious places to look for evidence.

18:04.230 --> 18:06.530
But yeah, there's a phone in the picture, okay?

18:06.530 --> 18:11.470
And it's, you know, just a normal phone that you'd find on the desk in just about any office.

18:11.670 --> 18:19.590
But the simple fact is that there's possible data inside this phone that might not show up in things like call logs.

18:19.670 --> 18:25.050
For example, you dump the PBX logs, there's all sorts of stuff jammed in the redial.

18:25.050 --> 18:28.390
For example, in this, you know, I wasn't gonna show you any real PIN numbers.

18:28.410 --> 18:33.730
I dial up a number, I put in a PIN number, it's actually captured inside that redial info.

18:33.730 --> 18:36.270
By playing with the phone, you can get that information out.

18:36.270 --> 18:38.030
It might be lost in a call log.

18:39.450 --> 18:40.170
All right?

18:40.290 --> 18:45.610
Other things that you can get, you can get park settings, in-dial forwarding, all sorts of information.

18:45.610 --> 18:49.450
Again, this stuff might not necessarily show up anywhere else.

18:49.470 --> 18:56.370
If the desk phone is forwarded to a cell phone, the phone itself might be the only place to actually get that information.

18:56.370 --> 18:59.130
So a good investigator's actually gonna consider this stuff.

19:01.810 --> 19:12.770
Speaking of phones, cell phones, most of you guys know this stuff, but just for completeness, cell phones have cameras in them, obviously, you've got images in them, yadda, yadda, yadda.

19:12.770 --> 19:15.890
A lot of them have SD or mini SD cards inside of them.

19:15.890 --> 19:17.850
Those SD cards should be removed.

19:18.250 --> 19:20.510
It's not necessarily the same as a SIM card.

19:20.510 --> 19:22.370
There could be other stuff that's on there.

19:22.450 --> 19:24.390
How many saw Mudge's talk this morning?

19:25.010 --> 19:25.890
Show of hands.

19:26.310 --> 19:26.790
All right.

19:26.790 --> 19:33.650
One of the things that I found very interesting, a couple things I found interesting about Mudge's talk was he pulled out his sidekick phone.

19:33.890 --> 19:46.010
And one of the things that he revealed was that when he basically lost his phone and got another phone, all his images and all his phone lists were automatically populated back down to his sidekick.

19:46.010 --> 19:48.550
Brand new phone, brand new SIM card.

19:48.610 --> 19:54.310
So the images actually went out to the website and once he re-registered, they came back down to his phone.

19:54.310 --> 19:59.390
Bottom line is this is fairly transient stuff that might be hard to pick up any other way.

20:00.950 --> 20:01.710
All right.

20:02.110 --> 20:02.910
Printers.

20:03.950 --> 20:05.430
Printers are often overlooked.

20:05.430 --> 20:08.990
Let's take a look at some of the ways you can actually pull evidence off of printers.

20:10.670 --> 20:20.370
One of the things an investigator has to consider, especially an investigator of the caliber that's required to catch somebody like Newt, is that every piece of evidence is absolutely critical.

20:20.370 --> 20:23.510
You can't mess around with destroying evidence.

20:23.510 --> 20:31.630
So one of the things that you have to consider is the fact that simply printing a page off of a printer could potentially destroy evidence.

20:32.230 --> 20:40.450
Some of the things that you can do, you can actually pull data off the transfer drums if you're like incredibly paranoid or you have access to electron microscopes.

20:40.450 --> 20:43.210
You can pull data outside of actual semiconductors.

20:43.210 --> 20:45.170
You can do all this scientific stuff.

20:45.430 --> 20:50.530
Okay, but even if you're not that desperate, there's a lot that you can do right from the LCD menu.

20:50.750 --> 20:54.410
So for example, here's the information menu on a laser jet printer.

20:54.690 --> 21:03.410
You can go in there, you can actually print off the event log to see what events actually happened on the printer, when the toner died, when there were paper jams, all that sort of stuff.

21:03.410 --> 21:05.450
Get documents that look like this.

21:06.010 --> 21:10.410
One of the things that you can see is time and date stamps on all the events on the printer.

21:10.410 --> 21:14.710
A lot of those events can't happen unless somebody's actually at the printer.

21:15.250 --> 21:22.390
Okay, so a good agent is going to use this stuff to actually correlate time, you know, to see, okay, was the guy in the office at this point?

21:22.390 --> 21:23.530
Was he at the keyboard?

21:23.530 --> 21:26.470
Does that correlate with forensics logs that we have off the wire?

21:26.530 --> 21:27.630
Et cetera, et cetera.

21:30.270 --> 21:36.110
The other things, there's lots of stuff that you can do, and I'm really skimming, so I'm trying to keep this, you know, fairly interesting.

21:36.510 --> 21:39.550
You can do a lot from the LCD screen itself without printing.

21:39.550 --> 21:43.690
Like, you can actually view the event log from the LCD screen without printing.

21:43.730 --> 21:55.110
So you go through the information menu, and even though it's a little bit cryptic, you know, an agent can use the LCD screen to actually write down the event log itself, and then translate all this information into, you know, real stuff.

21:56.910 --> 21:59.670
The other thing is a lot of printers have web interfaces.

21:59.890 --> 22:04.650
Yes, I ripped this from one of my Google talks, but yeah.

22:04.910 --> 22:08.510
And yeah, there's the Google query in the top that found the example.

22:09.290 --> 22:13.530
And the little oval button that says configuration wizard.

22:14.930 --> 22:16.570
But anyway, that's the Google talk.

22:16.570 --> 22:18.250
I'm doing a different talk now.

22:18.390 --> 22:19.250
Where am I?

22:19.250 --> 22:20.290
Who are you people?

22:21.990 --> 22:24.310
But anyway, yeah, you've got web interfaces on printers.

22:24.310 --> 22:25.070
You can connect to them.

22:25.070 --> 22:27.310
You can get lots of information off of those.

22:28.090 --> 22:37.690
This printer, for example, this Ricoh, it actually queues up print jobs through the web interface, so you can go into the web interface and actually get print jobs off of that.

22:37.690 --> 22:40.510
Again, good evidence from an investigator's standpoint.

22:43.330 --> 22:44.730
A couple more things.

22:44.730 --> 22:50.670
Fax machines are often overlooked because of the fact that most of the time an investigator is going to get call logs.

22:50.670 --> 22:53.650
You know, they'll go to the PBX, they'll actually pull back the call logs.

22:54.150 --> 22:57.610
Fax machines themselves can absolutely contain evidence.

22:57.770 --> 23:04.030
Again, we're at an LCD screen thing where you can actually go in and get time, date, headers, company name.

23:04.590 --> 23:07.650
Again, you can see that bastard, Nooth.

23:08.190 --> 23:10.130
You can see fax functions, phone numbers.

23:10.130 --> 23:13.570
You can see all sorts of stuff, again, just by going through the LCD menu.

23:13.570 --> 23:20.870
A lot of times investigators tend to pass by these devices Investigators these days are getting better and better and even pulling evidence off of these.

23:22.510 --> 23:24.270
All right, some more stuff.

23:24.590 --> 23:32.530
The phone book entry can be pulled off and transmission reports, again, date, time stamps, places that were called, produce reports that look like this.

23:32.710 --> 23:37.990
So you've got the number that was called, the duration of the fax, the number of pages, all sorts of stuff.

23:40.270 --> 23:42.870
All right, faxes and multifunction devices.

23:44.130 --> 23:47.710
Multifunction devices, printers, fax machines, copiers, all that stuff.

23:47.710 --> 23:49.230
They pretty much act the same way.

23:49.230 --> 23:51.290
It's a printer, it's a fax machine, whatever.

23:51.290 --> 24:01.490
The bottom line is that device can contain evidence and this is a talk in and of itself, but everybody pretty much knows that network devices themselves can contain a lot of data.

24:01.910 --> 24:05.270
You got a Cisco, you got a wireless device.

24:05.270 --> 24:07.750
Those devices can contain information.

24:08.770 --> 24:22.610
Network devices actually played a critical role in figuring out exactly what Newt was up to because even though the guy melted down his hard drives, used a belt sander on his CDs and got rid of all his disposable media stuff, the removable media stuff,

24:22.610 --> 24:26.710
he left behind the actual desktop machines and his network gear and his printer.

24:27.170 --> 24:32.670
Okay, so at that point, an investigator has to, you know, frigging catch the guy with just what's left over.

24:33.330 --> 24:36.350
Okay, now this is going to be fun.

24:38.350 --> 24:42.050
Our next slide is for a book, all right?

24:42.110 --> 24:48.150
And I'm going to push the little button here and see if you can find the evidence.

24:51.710 --> 24:53.670
Who said that?

24:53.710 --> 24:54.890
Come on up.

24:57.390 --> 24:58.390
What's that?

24:59.710 --> 25:01.250
Oh, man.

25:06.580 --> 25:07.800
That's excellent.

25:07.800 --> 25:08.500
Yeah.

25:08.820 --> 25:12.320
Fingerprinting model glue from none other than Mudge.

25:12.320 --> 25:12.980
Thank you, sir.

25:12.980 --> 25:13.520
Come on up.

25:13.520 --> 25:14.580
Do you have something to drink?

25:14.580 --> 25:16.340
You should be just sitting up here.

25:18.120 --> 25:19.700
So everybody welcome Mudge.

25:31.940 --> 25:34.280
And no, he hasn't been sniffing model glue.

25:35.660 --> 25:36.720
Yeah, that was excellent.

25:36.720 --> 25:40.100
Whoever jumped out of their freaking seat right there, dude, you are the man.

25:40.100 --> 25:41.600
Yeah, look at all this stuff.

25:41.640 --> 25:48.120
All right, you got USB drives, you got PDAs, you got all this stuff, you got CF cards, you got all this crap all over here.

25:48.120 --> 25:49.660
Well, let's clear the table.

25:50.460 --> 25:51.980
And where's the evidence now?

25:52.080 --> 25:53.540
Yes, those are breath.

25:53.540 --> 25:55.120
No, no, no, that wasn't for a book.

25:56.120 --> 25:57.440
I like this.

25:57.440 --> 25:59.220
We're going to get the wave going.

25:59.220 --> 26:00.420
This is going to be hot.

26:00.760 --> 26:01.400
All right.

26:01.400 --> 26:02.660
Yeah, those are breath strips.

26:02.660 --> 26:03.900
And no, that's not the evidence.

26:03.900 --> 26:06.460
But yes, this happens to be a USB watch.

26:06.460 --> 26:07.940
Hook this puppy up to a machine.

26:07.940 --> 26:09.860
It's actually got USB storage.

26:09.920 --> 26:13.840
A decent agent is not going to overlook something like a watch.

26:13.840 --> 26:15.520
They're actually going to pick this stuff up.

26:15.520 --> 26:17.240
Going to pull the data off of it.

26:22.220 --> 26:23.160
Holy crap.

26:23.160 --> 26:24.780
Come up here and say that.

26:33.880 --> 26:43.540
I just pointed out if it was actually a mechanical watch at any point on the inside, that based upon the spring expansion, you could figure out roughly the date that it was created and be able to go back to figure out when they were sold.

26:49.030 --> 26:49.930
Thank you.

26:51.210 --> 26:51.630
All right.

26:51.630 --> 26:54.130
I've been told that I can talk as long as I want.

26:56.570 --> 26:57.230
No.

27:08.360 --> 27:14.800
Unfortunately, the mob can't speak for my day job, which would absolutely get rid of me if I was on the TCP IP drinking game.

27:14.920 --> 27:16.600
Thank you for the invite.

27:16.640 --> 27:20.720
You can call me a wuss if you want, but I'll be watching safely from the front row.

27:21.820 --> 27:22.880
Thank you.

27:24.720 --> 27:26.620
I'll be cheering for Mudge, though.

27:26.880 --> 27:27.300
All right.

27:27.300 --> 27:27.900
Here we go.

27:27.900 --> 27:29.720
This is for a book.

27:30.380 --> 27:31.900
Yeah, we're okay on books.

27:31.900 --> 27:32.140
All right.

27:32.140 --> 27:33.020
Everybody ready?

27:35.340 --> 27:39.660
What did you say?

27:39.820 --> 27:40.880
Come up here.

27:42.900 --> 27:46.160
He stood up boldly and he proclaimeth.

27:46.840 --> 27:47.720
Pen.

27:48.220 --> 27:49.740
Very nicely done.

27:49.800 --> 27:50.760
Pick a book.

27:52.380 --> 27:54.840
Oh, that is my blockbuster card, isn't it?

27:56.020 --> 27:57.360
And my yo-yo.

27:57.680 --> 27:59.560
I have yo-yo skills.

28:00.480 --> 28:01.060
I do.

28:01.060 --> 28:03.940
Maybe if we're killing time, I'll do some yo-yo kung fu up here.

28:04.440 --> 28:05.920
Yeah, absolutely.

28:05.920 --> 28:08.000
The bottom line is USB pen devices.

28:08.000 --> 28:09.840
They're a lot more common than you think.

28:09.840 --> 28:14.000
You get a drawer filled with junk like this, there's going to be crap that's hiding in the crevices.

28:14.380 --> 28:21.520
If you've got to think geek shop and fool that you're trying to catch down, he's going to have stuff like this.

28:23.060 --> 28:27.300
And you can figure out how much ink is in it and do an analysis to figure out how long he's been.

28:27.300 --> 28:28.880
Where do you come up with this stuff?

28:30.340 --> 28:34.480
This is why I would never be on a TCPIP drinking game against this guy.

28:36.220 --> 28:37.200
That's true.

28:37.200 --> 28:38.140
That's true.

28:38.720 --> 28:39.460
All right.

28:39.460 --> 28:40.340
Yeah, good stuff.

28:40.340 --> 28:40.600
All right.

28:40.600 --> 28:42.260
Let's do another one for a book.

28:42.260 --> 28:43.120
You guys ready?

28:46.800 --> 28:47.600
Nope.

28:49.860 --> 28:51.540
Wait, I heard it.

28:53.740 --> 28:54.220
There

29:11.620 --> 29:12.980
it is.

29:12.980 --> 29:13.800
Right over here.

29:13.800 --> 29:14.980
I heard it.

29:14.980 --> 29:15.220
Yes.

29:15.220 --> 29:20.400
Lo and behold, it is the duck.

29:22.300 --> 29:23.640
Yeah, baby.

29:30.670 --> 29:32.790
That was very nicely done.

29:33.070 --> 29:37.910
Oh, and all you people that were just calling out without standing up, do not think that that will get you a book.

29:37.910 --> 29:40.310
That's not the enthusiasm I'm looking for.

29:41.930 --> 29:48.350
We're down to two books, so I think I might skip this one and make this one a freebie.

29:48.590 --> 29:51.110
Yeah, we're going to skip this one and make it a freebie.

29:51.110 --> 29:51.870
All right.

29:52.850 --> 29:53.890
It's not for a book.

29:53.890 --> 29:55.110
You can stay seated.

29:56.690 --> 29:57.550
Fluoride?

29:57.550 --> 29:58.310
What?

30:07.900 --> 30:11.940
USB Clorox sounds definitely like something Mudge would have said.

30:16.570 --> 30:20.150
It does look like the Unabomber was there.

30:28.470 --> 30:30.130
USB TP.

30:31.510 --> 30:32.670
Here it comes.

30:32.670 --> 30:33.770
You ready for it?

30:33.770 --> 30:34.670
Ready for it?

30:34.670 --> 30:35.830
Here it comes.

30:37.930 --> 30:40.810
What is it?

30:41.750 --> 30:43.050
USB flashlight.

30:43.050 --> 30:47.770
Yes, this is an embedded USB digital camera flashlight combination.

30:47.910 --> 30:48.490
Yeah.

30:48.630 --> 30:50.690
Uber agent is going to pick that stuff up.

30:50.790 --> 30:53.250
Let's take a look at this one.

30:53.250 --> 30:57.910
I really got to spread these books out here, man, because I got a lot more slides.

30:58.490 --> 30:59.070
All right.

30:59.070 --> 31:01.610
This one's not for a book.

31:01.610 --> 31:02.730
It's just kind of fun.

31:02.730 --> 31:04.150
Can anybody find the evidence in this picture?

31:04.950 --> 31:06.690
Oh my goodness.

31:07.030 --> 31:08.490
You are Uber.

31:08.810 --> 31:16.830
Without any hesitation whatsoever and without the benefit of the Zoom, he proclaims TikiTorch.

31:17.970 --> 31:19.070
There it is.

31:19.070 --> 31:25.810
This is a very nice TikiTorch that normally I would tell you to go to a place like ThinkGeek to actually purchase.

31:26.690 --> 31:36.990
But ThinkGeek did not think anything of the DEF CON conference because when I called them and said I was doing this talk and I'd really like to get some pictures of their gear, guess what they said?

31:38.290 --> 31:39.910
They said nothing.

31:40.170 --> 31:41.990
So buy it somewhere else.

31:43.830 --> 31:44.750
Bastards.

31:47.490 --> 31:50.590
I borrowed this from a friend who didn't get it from ThinkGeek.

31:50.590 --> 31:51.770
Okay, you guys are so smart.

31:51.770 --> 31:52.390
Let's do it again.

31:52.390 --> 31:53.470
Where's the evidence?

31:55.710 --> 31:56.390
Nope.

31:56.550 --> 31:57.410
The what?

31:59.850 --> 32:01.810
Not... Ooh, that was nice.

32:01.810 --> 32:05.790
From the front row, we have the digital photo picture frame.

32:05.790 --> 32:09.850
Yes, USB-capable digital photo frames can contain data.

32:09.850 --> 32:12.750
It's an excellent spot to hide stuff.

32:12.750 --> 32:13.870
Good job.

32:14.950 --> 32:15.990
All right.

32:16.810 --> 32:17.990
Let's do this again.

32:17.990 --> 32:19.430
Where's the evidence?

32:21.310 --> 32:23.790
Not the stapler, but he stood.

32:24.910 --> 32:26.550
Not the network card.

32:26.930 --> 32:27.970
Nice.

32:28.110 --> 32:29.170
Right here.

32:29.270 --> 32:30.210
The knife.

32:31.850 --> 32:32.550
We got it.

32:32.550 --> 32:33.790
We got the answer.

32:34.990 --> 32:43.370
No, it's not the Microsoft coaster, which most of you should have just taken one look at and gone, there's something suspicious about that.

32:45.050 --> 32:50.890
No, it's not Kevin Mitnick's business card, which most of you should have gone, there's something suspicious about that.

32:50.930 --> 32:55.830
It is actually... And there it is.

32:55.830 --> 32:56.670
Come get a book.

32:56.670 --> 32:57.890
That was worth it.

32:58.230 --> 33:00.050
USB Swiss Army knife.

33:03.070 --> 33:05.450
Yup, USB Swiss Army knife.

33:07.070 --> 33:09.290
I've never seen a USB stapler.

33:10.310 --> 33:17.870
Oh, that's... He actually said stapler and he was right, but sorry, that wasn't the answer I was looking for.

33:18.030 --> 33:19.510
I'll give you other swag.

33:19.510 --> 33:20.430
We'll do that.

33:20.430 --> 33:21.030
All right.

33:21.030 --> 33:22.130
You guys ready?

33:22.350 --> 33:23.790
This one's for a book.

33:24.070 --> 33:25.370
Find the evidence.

33:44.690 --> 33:46.830
Do not listen to Mudge.

33:47.650 --> 33:49.650
His idea is way too smart.

33:50.170 --> 33:52.010
No, there's no evidence here, people.

33:52.010 --> 33:53.230
It's a bowl of fruit.

34:01.500 --> 34:03.680
You guys are not very good Uber agents.

34:04.180 --> 34:05.300
Oh,

34:11.280 --> 34:13.120
that was kind of cool.

34:13.120 --> 34:16.720
I wanted to pull a Mudge and answer my phone when somebody was calling me while I was on stage.

34:17.540 --> 34:18.580
That would have rocked.

34:18.880 --> 34:19.580
All right, let's see.

34:19.580 --> 34:22.660
I think this might be our last one for a book.

34:24.500 --> 34:26.320
No, we'll do it in the next picture.

34:26.320 --> 34:28.000
This one's just a freebie.

34:28.000 --> 34:29.000
Where's the evidence?

34:30.900 --> 34:32.040
Oh, yes.

34:32.040 --> 34:33.200
You guys are getting the hang of this.

34:33.200 --> 34:34.360
I heard it on the right.

34:34.440 --> 34:35.300
Here it comes.

34:35.300 --> 34:36.300
Wait for it.

34:36.300 --> 34:37.640
Wait for it.

34:38.340 --> 34:39.480
There you go.

34:40.040 --> 34:41.580
USB camera binoculars.

34:41.580 --> 34:43.020
Okay, you guys are getting the hang of this.

34:43.020 --> 34:51.160
Whole point of the talk is that it takes an interesting outlook on various locations like this to find stuff that could potentially be meaningful.

34:51.300 --> 34:57.620
When you've got a world that's filled with digital devices like this, it's going to take a death by a thousand cuts to catch somebody like Newt.

34:57.640 --> 34:59.660
That's what the entire book is about.

34:59.660 --> 35:01.420
I hope you guys will check out the stealing book.

35:01.420 --> 35:03.280
Let's do our last one for the book.

35:03.280 --> 35:05.680
And we need some enthusiasm here.

35:05.680 --> 35:07.980
You've got to stand up or you're not going to win it.

35:08.460 --> 35:09.460
Where's the evidence?

35:10.500 --> 35:11.300
Mudge.

35:15.850 --> 35:16.770
Who was it?

35:16.770 --> 35:18.830
Who was it in the back that said sushi?

35:18.850 --> 35:21.750
Come forward.

35:23.870 --> 35:27.730
No, it wasn't Bruce Sterling's Zenith book.

35:27.730 --> 35:29.730
It was the sushi.

35:30.390 --> 35:32.230
We've got to get the transition work in here.

35:32.230 --> 35:33.490
Go with the flow.

35:33.510 --> 35:34.170
Nice.

35:34.170 --> 35:34.970
Thank you.

35:34.970 --> 35:35.570
All right.

35:35.570 --> 35:38.490
So anyway, USB sushi.

35:44.770 --> 35:45.590
All right.

35:45.590 --> 35:46.990
So you guys got the hang of this.

35:46.990 --> 35:48.050
That's the idea.

35:48.050 --> 35:49.870
Other places evidence can hide.

35:49.870 --> 35:51.510
You guys have probably seen most of this stuff.

35:51.690 --> 35:56.210
I couldn't actually taunt you by putting these into a picture because most of them were too easy.

35:56.210 --> 36:00.090
How many of you have actually seen these Oakley thump glasses like in person?

36:00.670 --> 36:02.130
These things rock.

36:02.710 --> 36:05.550
They also look like freaking Vulcan space goggles.

36:05.690 --> 36:07.530
All right.

36:07.530 --> 36:12.970
So anyway, Newt was an ultra paranoid and did everything right, but in the end was he busted.

36:12.970 --> 36:13.950
I'm not going to spoil it.

36:13.950 --> 36:15.390
You'll have to get the book to find out.

36:15.390 --> 36:18.370
Stealing the network, how to own the identity by Singer's Publishing.

36:18.370 --> 36:21.970
We're going to do a book signing right after this over at the book booth inside.

36:22.210 --> 36:24.430
We've got several of the authors of various books.

36:24.510 --> 36:27.570
Specifically we're going to do ASD, but we'll have lots of folks over there.

36:27.570 --> 36:29.810
So if you have questions, see you over there.

36:29.810 --> 36:30.450
Thanks a lot.
