Hacking .NET Applications - The Black Arts
Explore the dark arts of hacking .NET applications in this comprehensive conference talk from LASCON 2012. Delve into malware analysis, code review, and application penetration testing techniques. Learn how to overcome "secure" .NET applications, build keygens, cracks, hacks, and malware, and conduct reverse engineering for protection. Discover tools and methodologies for attacking .NET applications, including methods to flip checks, set values, cut logic, and fake system calls. Examine complex math attacks, static crypto key vulnerabilities, and various protection mechanisms such as code signing, strong names, and ACLs. Explore code obfuscation techniques, unmanaged calls, and methods to counter decompilation attempts. Gain insights into data collection, cryptographic key storage, and license number generation using MD5 hashing.
