<p>This is the 2025 version. Last updated 20250110 by
<h2>Lecture slots</h2>
<p>Our lecture slots this year are face-to-face (yay!) and are:
<ul>
<li>Monday 1600-1750, LB01</li>
<li>Wednesday 1700-1750, LB04</li>
</ul>
Note - room assignments may change, check on the day! (Esp the first day:-)
</p>
<p>Lectures this year mostly in-person with some recordings.
Recordings will be available somewhere (TBD).
I'll hang out in the "office hours" blackboard collab room on
Wednesday's at 1430 - feel free to pop in there and ask whatever.</p>
<p>Blackboard links:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://tcd.blackboard.com/ultra/courses/_84350_1/cl/outline">Main module link (for assignments etc)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/8e9b51e92a6844d589600f051df8a305">Office hour</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>More detail...</h2>
<ul>
<li>The canonical URL for this stuff is:
<a href="https://down.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/cs7053/">https://down.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/cs7053/</a>
and the latest source is in a github repo at
<a href="https://github.com/sftcd/cs7053">https://github.com/sftcd/cs7053</a></li>
<li>Over the years, this course has had lots of course codes, it was also
previously CS4407, CS7453 and CS7074, and before that
<a href="https://down.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/cs7012/">CS7012</a> and before that
<a href="https://down.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/nds106u1/">NDS106</a> (the last two
links are to the old lectures etc.) But when I created the github repo it
was CS7053, so I stick with that for the URLs:-) The content overlaps a
good bit but always evolves.</li>
<li>The <a href="#Lecture">Lecture slides</a> section below has links to
open-office/ppt/pdf versions of all the lectures for the course. The PDFs
should be fine as there're no fancy PPT features used.</li>
<li>The <a href="#stories">News</a> section below has links to relevant
articles usually from the technical media.</a>
<li>The <a href="#materials">Materials</a> section below has links to, and/or
local copies of, some background information/papers etc. For assessment
purposes, you won't need anything other than lecture content and
easily available things like RFCs or papers mentioned in lectures. So
the list of materials below are just additinal info. (You are of
course encouraged to read more widely).</li>
<li>You can look at loads of
<a href="https://down.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/old-exams/index.html">old exams</a>
with both questions and answers/marking schemes.</li>
<li>There will be two mid-term assignments, totalling 20% of the marks for
the module (so the exam is worth 80%). We plan to have a "normal"
sit-down exam. For the written assignments, we have an
<a href="llm-policy.html">LLM policy</a>.</li>
<li>Note that I <strong>will</strong> be changing the slides as I go.
Depending on stuff ahead of time may be wasted effort:-)</li>

<h2><a name="stories">News Stories</a></h2>
<p>I usually update this sporadically during the run-time of the module with
links to stories that I might want to reference in class.</p>
<h3>2024</h3>
<ul>
<li>A nice side-channel <a href="https://ninjalab.io/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240903_eucleak.pdf">description</a> of a near-practical attack affecting Yubikeys</li>
<li>A <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/how-pentagon-learned-targeted-ads-to-find-targets-and-vladimir-putin/">Wired article</a> showing in nice but easily understood detail the
awfulness of advertising based on real time bidding.</li>
<li>NDSS <a href="https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/2024-618-paper.pdf">paper</a>
on attacking fingerprint authentication by listening to the sound of
swipes on screens - Nice! (but be interested in seeing it
reproduced).</li>
<li>NSA and other bits of US DoD admit to buying tracking data from
brokers. <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/26/nsa_browser_records/">El reg article</a>,
and in case it ever gets lost a
<a href="materials/nsa-buying-fe33e1ba-full.pdf">local copy of the letters.</a>.</li>
<li>Another case of facial recognition technology (FRT) seeming to produce a bad outcome, from
<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/22/sunglass-hut-facial-recognition-wrongful-arrest-lawsuit">the Guardian</a>.</li>
<li>Cute paper on an impractical but interesting leak <a
href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adj3608">Imaging
privacy threats from an ambient light sensor</a>.</li>
<li>A <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/09/airdrop-cracked-chinese-authorities/">claim</a>
of a break in the privacy of Apple airplay exchanges by a Chinese
"state-backed institution". No real detail as yet, but interesting
mention of using rainbow tables to reverse some kind of identifier
hashing/obfuscation. </li>
</ul>
<h3>2023</h3>
<ul>
<li>Nice paper about SSH host-key RSA private key recovery in the face of faults: <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/1711.pdf">https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/1711.pdf</a>.</li>
<li>Yet another radio-frequency side-channel <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/13/wifi_beamforming_side_channel_attack/">report</a></li>
<li>Car privacy is bad, says <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/06/mozilla_vehicle_data_privacy/">Mozilla.</a></li>
<li>Some researchers caught ETSI out in <a href="https://www.midnightblue.nl/tetraburst">backdooring TETRA crypto</a>.
For some reason an ETSI staffer decided to do a
car-crash <a href="https://zetter.substack.com/p/interview-with-the-etsi-standards">interview</a> on the topic.</li.
<li>There're always singple point of failure stories, but <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/apr/23/australias-farmers-call-for-backup-plan-after-gps-tractor-steering-system-fails">this one's</a> interesting - a satellite SPOF added to a nicely redundant system, that breaks farms in Australia!</li>
<li>Interesting attack against a vehicle <a href="https://kentindell.github.io/2023/04/03/can-injection/">CAN bus</a> enabling car theft via wiring within headlights.</li>
<li>A fairly <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/godaddy-hackers-stole-source-code-installed-malware-in-multi-year-breach/">bad sounding multi-year attack</a> on hoster GoDaddy and their customers. Things like that are bad.</li>
<li>Another <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/26/smart_ovens_do_dumb_stuff/">story</a> about supposedly "smart" devices not bring smart.</li>
<li>Another reason to not leave MD5 code hanging about: <a href="https://www.akamai.com/blog/security-research/exploiting-critical-spoofing-vulnerability-microsoft-cryptoapi">it enables bad hits in certificate caches</a>.</li>
<li>An <a
href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/01/a-fifth-of-passwords-used-by-federal-agency-cracked-in-security-audit/">audit
of passwords</a> found: "the auditors cracked 18,174—or 21
percent—of the 85,944 cryptographic hashes they tested; 288 of the affected
accounts had elevated privileges, and 362 of them belonged to senior
government employees. In the first 90 minutes of testing, auditors cracked the
hashes for 16 percent of the department’s user accounts" - good to see some
recent numbers for that. The passwords were from active directory and the article mentions NTLM, which historically has been
speedy to crack, but that level of detail isn't clear.
(<a href="https://www.doioig.gov/sites/default/files/2021-migration/Final%20Inspection%20Report_DOI%20Password_Public.pdf">the underlying audit report</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/samsungs-android-app-signing-key-has-leaked-is-being-used-to-sign-malware/">Leaked
android OEM private keys</a> that have yet to be replaced? Odd.</li>
<li>Really a late-2022 story: <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2022/12/02/mozilla_microsoft_trustcor/">Another
CA booted from the Mozilla root program</a>, this time for possible connections to a spyware company.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2022</h3>
<ul>
<li>A nice <a href="https://www.usenix.org/system/files/sec22-sullivan.pdf">paper</a> describing how passive measurement of
TLS1.2 and earlier handshakes can spot occasional faulty signatures that can expose a private key.</li>
<li>A <a href="https://www.qurium.org/alerts/the-tip-of-the-iceberg/">good report</a> on a FB phishing/bot
campaign that also does some DDoS (albeit small scale).</li>
<li>Random improvements: /dev/random and /dev/urandom <a href="https://www.zx2c4.com/projects/linux-rng-5.17-5.18/">merged in Linux kernel</a>.</li>
<li>Hasn't made much news, but this <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/214">preprint</a> from
Ward Beullens describes a key recovery attack on the NIST PQ-competition signature-algorithm
finalist Rainbow. Assuming that result holds, (and <a href="https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/pqc-forum/c/KFgw5_qCXiI">it seems to be accepted by the inventors</a>), it's a good lesson about new algorithms.</a>
<li>Some interesting vulnerabilities in UPS devices (<a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2022/03/09/tlstorm_apc_ups_critical_zero_days/">el reg report</a>,
<a href="https://info.armis.com/rs/645-PDC-047/images/Armis-TLStorm-WP%20%281%29.pdf">tech report</a>, <a href="materials/Armis-TLStorm.pdf">local copy</a>)</li>
<li>In what may be <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/02/europe_iab_decision/">good news</a>, the Belgian DPA
has agreed with the Irish Council of Civil Liberties that the so-called "consent" framework underlying a lot of
real time bidding (RTB) on the web is not compatible with the GPDR. That'll probably run and run, but it's a
hopeful sign IMO.</li>
<li>Publisher (Springer) <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/4aw48g/academic-journal-claims-it-fingerprints-pdfs-for-ransomware-not-surveillance">adding per-download unique metadata to PDFs</a>, presumably for tracking or traitor tracing. I added <a href="materials/remove-pdf-metadata.sh">remove-pdf-metadata.sh</a> as a result and cleaned the PDFs in this repo.</li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4Shell">Log4j zero day</a>
was a real doozy - I know a bunch of people who had to spend lots of
time mitigating that. (It was discovered in Nov 2021 but I only
added it here in Jan 2022:-)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/23/chinese_nsa_linux/">El Reg story</a> on
decomposition and attribution of a sophisticated APT attacker tool.
(56-page report: <a href="https://www.pangulab.cn/files/The_Bvp47_a_top-tier_backdoor_of_us_nsa_equation_group.en.pdf">original link</a>,
<a href="materials/The_Bvp47_a_top-tier_backdoor_of_us_nsa_equation_group.en.pdf">local copy</a>).
</li>
</ul>
<h3>2021</h3>
<ul>
<li>Nice <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/25/cheese_fingerprint_prison/">fingerprint story</a>.</li>
<li>It's quite old, but I've only read it now, so worth nothing that this
<a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/why-raspberry-pi-isnt-vulnerable-to-spectre-or-meltdown/">explanation of Meltown</a> is the best I've seen, so worth a read. (It's from the founder of
the rPi foundation, and is really well written.)</li>
<li>We often forget how we depend on the kindness of strangers: a
<a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/yandex-said-it-caught-an-employee-selling-access-to-users-inboxes/">reminder</a>
of that when a sysadmin sells access to customers email accounts.</li>
<li>Another WebPKI CA in trouble:
the <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/02/chrome_camerfirma_certificates/">El reg article</a> is ok,
