Without exploit mitigations and with an insecure-by-default design,
writing malware for FreeBSD is a fun task, taking us back to 1999-era
Linux exploit authorship. Several members of FreeBSD's development
team have claimed that Capsicum, a capabilities/sandboxing framework,
prevents exploitation of applications. Our in-depth analysis of the
topics below will show that in order to be effective, applying
Capsicum to existing complex codebases lends itself to wrapper-style
sandboxing. Wrapper-style sandbox is a technique whereby privileged
operations get wrapped and passed to a segregated process, which
performs the operation on behalf of the capsicumized process. With a
new libhijack payload, we will demonstrate that wrapper-style
sandboxing requires ASLR and CFI for effectiveness. FreeBSD supports
neither ASLR nor CFI. Tying into the wrapper-style Capsicum defeat,
we'll talk about advances being made with libhijack, a tool announced
at Thotcon 0x4. The payload developed in the Capsicum discussion will
be used with libhijack, thus making it easy to extend. We will also
learn the Mandatory Access Control (MAC) framework in FreeBSD. The MAC
framework places hooks into several key places in the kernel. We'll
learn how to abuse the MAC framework for writing efficient rootkits.
Attendees of this presentation should walk away with the knowledge to
skillfully and artfully write offensive code targeting both the
FreeBSD userland and the kernel.

CarolinaCon was started in 2005 and has been held every year since.
With each passing year the conference continues to grow and attract
more attendees and speakers. As has always been the case, CarolinaCon
is put together and run by an all-volunteer staff. CarolinaCon is
proudly brought to you by "The CarolinaCon Group". The CarolinaCon
Group is a non-profit organization registered in the state of NC,
dedicated to educating the local and global communities about
technology, information/network/computer security, and information
rights.
The CarolinaCon Group is also closely associated with various 2600
chapters across NC, SC, TN, VA, LA, DC, GA, PA and NY. Many of the
volunteers who help develop and deliver CarolinaCon come from those
chapters.
