Introduction SEO – Search Engine Optimisation Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving the
volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords.
TOP 10 search engines results page (SERP) = SEO industry Some SEO terms: positioning, ranking, keywords SEO Hats:

Security Implications 1/2 The common perception towards black SEO:
Google: “There's almost nothing a competitor can do to harm your ranking or have your site removed from our index” index
General Assumption: “Black SEO is only related to SEO” Black SEO and Security:
IT Security still does not include this category of attacks Most M t IT Security S it literature lit t does d nott even mention ti the th SEO tterm The potential:
Black SEO attacks do not always involve exploitation of target vulnerabilities
50% of the OWASP Top 10 can be used to leverage black SEO attacks
Knowledge gap between SEO hackers and WEB hackers is reducing - Latest web spam techniques exploit XSS
© 2008 Security-Assessment.com
Security Implications 2/2 Black SEO security considerations:
Three elements in the security model:
Search engine internal processes are not disclosed Real unknown variable in the black SEO security model Black SEO attacks:
Search engines process the attack Attack results are not direct ((might g be visible after 3 days, y ,1 week, 1 month or might not be processed)
Attacker needs to monitor continuously attack results Target needs to realise if under attack © 2008 Security-Assessment.com
Methodology
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for eevery e y victory cto y ga gained ed you will also a so suffer su e a defeat. de eat If you know o neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - Sun Tzu

Eliminating target resources
Š 2008 Security-Assessment.com
Eliminating target resources The neighbours target map (visual concept):
Thinking like a search engine:
A link to a ppage g = casting g a vote Votes are related to a specific content/information Many votes to a site indicate that the site is “authoritative” authoritative / “trusted” for a specific content = best value to user
© 2008 Security-Assessment.com
Eliminating target resources Eliminating target resources:
Remove/divert links from authoritative/trusted sites to target site Remove/divert /d direct d incoming links l k to target site Two main attack approaches:
Hack neighbours sites and remove links Social engineering + direct attack First approach not always feasible. Second approach: Impersonate target and social engineer target resources Motives to remove/divert link: rebranding, restructuring, maintenance, new domain, spam links, etc. Enforce case with new domain registered as target, XSS/SQL injection, spam links, etc.
