Scalable Scanning and Automatic Classification of TLS Padding Oracle Vulnerabilities
Explore the intricacies of Transport Layer Security (TLS) padding oracle vulnerabilities in this comprehensive conference talk presented at the Workshop on Attacks in Cryptography 2 (WAC2). Delve into TLS fundamentals, including cipher suites and CBC mode encryption, before examining the history and impact of padding oracle attacks like Lucky13 and ROBOT. Learn about innovative techniques for scanning and classifying vulnerabilities in the wild using tools like TLS-Crawler. Analyze real-world results from the Alexa Top 1 Million websites, and gain insights into vulnerability identification, clustering, and visualization methods. Explore the distinctions between weak, strong, and Poodle oracles, with a focus on recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities. Conclude with an overview of the responsible disclosure process and key contributions to the field of TLS security.
