Cracking Passwords with Rainbow Tables by David Lauer

A quick demo of how easy it is to configure a flash drive to crack
passwords. When I say fast I mean fast. No death by PowerPoint here.
Just a quick intro to the concepts and on to the demo!

OSM (Awesome) Botnet Communications by Stephen Mather

What are the theoretical vulnerabilities of versioned geospatial datasets, e.g. for use as bot communications?  Multiple methods for providing wiki-style versioned geospatial datasets exist, from Versioned Web Feature Service (WFS) to OpenStreetMap’s (OSM) infrastructure, to proprietary approaches, and emerging standards, e.g. GeoGit.  Vulnerabilities to abuse these systems as encoding structures may be subtler than twitter bot net encoding.  This talk will briefly introduce OSM, WFS, and GeoGit, and solicit thoughts on ways versioned geospatial wiki style infrastructure may be vulnerable to abuses.

Don’t forget to come early, starting at 6:00 PM, for pizza and pop courtesy of SecureState (http://securestate.com/).

Another great meeting from NEO Info Sec Forum – we hope to see you there!

DMARC by Michael Hammer

Michael Hammer will provide an overview of a recently released specification called DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) which provides authentication feedback loop reporting as well as the ability for domain owners to make policy assertions (quarantine/reject) for messaging claiming to be from their domains. While not a magic bullet, DMARC is a significant step forward in providing additional email authentication transparency for senders as well as mitigating certain types of abuse.

There will also be a special announcement at the meeting!!!!!

Security Economics and the Battle Against Patience by Rockie Brockway

This talk focuses on many of the latest attack trends and goals, the parties responsible and the responsibility of the InfoSec community in not only protecting our own direct business assets but associative economic impact of doing so on our collective national economies. Alternate methodologies of protecting the business model will be presented and open to discussion/debate.
