Alexander Kornbrust (Founder, Red Database Security GmbH)
Presentation Title: Practical Oracle Forensics
Presentation Details:
Oracle forensics is a new discipline without special tools/scripts. Most presentations about Oracle forensics are still very basic. The typical approach in these presentations is to show what tools/(log)files are available to do forensics. In the real world with huge databases (many GB, sometimes TB) it is normally not helpful.
This presentation is using a different approach. Based on the different type of attackers (leaving employee, nosy DBA/employee, external hacker etc.) we have different traces in Oracle and we show in different scenarios how to find evidence. We provide a free toolset to do a (basic) forensic analysis without having deep Oracle knowledge.
* Classification of database hackers (leaving employee, nosy DBA/employee, external hacker, …)
* Typical incidents (copying account data, stealing credit card information, lookup personal data of celebrities/VIP, cover own faults)
* Different types of investigation (suspected employee, what happened in this period of time)
* Collect evidence from the various Oracle files/tables (with working scripts)
* How to do such an analysis on a real database (RAC, Multiple-Instance, Single-Instance, …)
