Presentation Title SAProuter: An Internet Window to your SAP Platform
Presentation Abstract

Many people still think that SAP systems are only accessible from internal networks by an organization’s employees. Nothing can be further from the truth. The growing need for providing realtime access to business partners, outsourced staff and customers has forced many companies to open their critical business platforms to the Internet, introducing several risks affecting their most valuable business information.

While you may think that your organization is an exception and you’re 100% sure that no remote connections are done to your SAP systems, you will probably need to rethink that: In order to provide support, SAP AG connects to your SAP platform *remotely*, so practically every SAP installation in the world has at least one window to the Internet, the SAProuter. If this component is not implemented securely, this window can allow remote attackers to connect to your SAP systems just as if they were sitting in your Accounting Department.

In this talk you will learn through many live demos, the techniques that you can use to assess the security of these components. You will see how to obtain information from remote SAProuters, perform internal-systems port scans and understand how the exploitation of some obscure features can be used to “deploy” SAProuter agents that will enable access to any application in the company’s internal network.
