Presenting at TROOPERS IT Security Conference, Siege Founder Graeme Neilson reveals this audacious scheme, using Uber’s applications, APIs, even their own business model to subvert the system, unlocking the potential for everything from free rides, to city-wide chaos.
The presentation reveals a master class in modern day hacking. No code vulnerabilities were required, only a sophisticated approach to discovering application logic, API access, and some business logic, that as it turned out was very open to abuse.
As you will see, this is an easily automated, highly scalable, HIGHLY problematic attack, with a relatively low barrier to entry, extremely cheap to perform, and with the potential for serious financial and operationally disruptive outcomes.
These are the kinds of automated attack problems that Siege was formed to solve. Not only can we shine a light on the precise issues and help you understand the nature of bot attacks, but we can lend our considerable expertise to help you form strategies to address even the most complex problems.
