Startup – Success Story – 06
Startup – Success Story” of by Speaker Mr. Rafay Baloch Alumnus of Computer Science Department.
Mr. Rafay Baloch, is an Ethical Hacker and security researcher known for his discovery of vulnerabilities on the Android operating system. He has been featured and known by both national and international media and publications like Forbes, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and The Express Tribune. He has been listed among the “Top 5 Ethical Hackers of 2014” by CheckMarx. Subsequently he was listed as one of “The 15 Most Successful Ethical Hackers Worldwide” and among “Top 25 Threat Seekers” by SC magazine. Baloch has also been added in Tech Juice 25 under 25 list for the year 2016 and got 13th rank in the list of high achievers. He is currently working as a Cyber Security Advisor to Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
He began his hacking career while he was still doing his bachelor’s. He then wrote a book called “Ethical Hacking Penetration Testing Guide”. He is the first Pakistani security researcher to be acknowledged by Google, Facebook, PayPal, Apple, Microsoft and many other international organizations. He has also written several papers on information security, namely “HTML5 Modern Day Attack Vectors”, “Web Application Firewall Bypass”, and “Bypassing Browser Security Policies For Fun And Profit”.
He has been active into bug bounty programs and has reported several critical vulnerabilities in several open source web applications as well as in bug bounty programs. Baloch found critical vulnerabilities in PayPal in 2012: he hacked into PayPal servers by exploiting a remote code execution vulnerability.
He was rewarded $10,000 and a job offer to work for them as a Security Researcher that he refused as he was still doing his bachelor’s at that time from Bahria University Karachi Campus. He has actively reported several critical vulnerabilities in browsers. He started by finding Same Origin Policy (SOP) bypass in Android Stock browser which was initially rejected by Google; however, this was later verified by Google after researchers from Rapid7 verified it. This was coined as CVE-2014-6041.
Baloch followed by reporting several other SOP bypasses. Researchers at Trend Micro found this bug to be more widespread. It was later reported that hackers had been actively using Baloch’s SOP bypass exploits for hacking into Facebook accounts. The SOP bypass bug was elevated by Rapid7 researcher Joe Vennix for conducting a remote code execution. Baloch also found several vulnerabilities affecting WebView which allowed an attacker to read local files as well as steal cookies from the user device.
In 2018, Baloch unveiled a crack in both Safari and Microsoft’s Edge browser that paved the way for the URL of a safe website to be shown in the address bar while users were actually being taken to a different, and possibly malicious, website. Rafay Baloch identified the security issue and informed Apple and Microsoft in early June. Microsoft fixed the issue within two months, but Apple didn’t respond to Baloch’s report despite of the deadline given of 90 days grace period, so he made the details public as per international rule.
Rafay Baloch wrote in his article that an address bar can be used to easily breach someone’s privacy without them noticing it. The reason this is possible is because an address bar is the only reliable indicator for security in new browsers, as it displays the site’s URL and other details related to the webpage one is on
