DEF CON 30 - Daniel Jensen - Hunting Bugs in the Tropics

Aruba Networks makes networking products for the enterprise. I make enterprise products run arbitrary code. Over the past couple of years, I've been hunting for vulnerabilities in some of Aruba's on-premise networking products and have had a bountiful harvest. A curated (read: patched) selection of these will be presented for your enjoyment. Pre-auth vulnerabilities and interesting bug chains abound, as well as a few unexpected attack surfaces and a frequently overlooked bug class. This talk will explore some of the vulnerabilities I've found in various products in the Aruba range, and include details of their exploitation. I'll elaborate on how I found these bugs, detailing my workflow for breaking open virtual appliances and searching for vulnerabilities in them.
