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.
