TALK ABSTRACTS
Rooting Out the Bad Actors – Dan Walters, Sr. Systems Engineer at FireEye (www.fireeye.com)
Botnets have been around for some time now and don¹t seem to be going
away in fact they are becoming more prevalent and dangerous with the
involvement of organized crime. Botnet zombies are resource thieves
and potentially leave you and your network open to blacklisting and/or
legal action. How can you keep track of new Botnet threats, how do you
know you have been ³botted², how did you get ³botted², and what are
the impacts or ramifications of the new bots? In our presentation, we
look at several aspects of the current Botnet threats and give some
help in answering these questions and more.
Offensive-Security: A road-map to penetration testing – David Kennedy
Offensive-Security offers several high end courses that is aimed at
teaching the student the ability to effectively perform penetration
tests and learn advanced techniques in the art of exploitation. Dave
recently completed the Offensive-Security Certified Expert
(OSCE) which is the hardest certification offered by
Offensive-Security. This presentation will dive into all of the
different courses, the expertise needed to pass the tests, and talk
about a road-map to building you as a penetration tester.
