Bro’s before Flows
During an incident response, acquired network activity is critical in attempting to fully identify the what, when, where and how of a given incident. Security practitioners often find themselves losing “the full picture” over time and therefore constrained to context-less logs to help explain an already complex problem. This talk will explore multiple levels of network data acquisition; from full packet capture solutions to rudimentary network logs such as routers and firewalls. We will attempt to find the acquisition “sweet spot” using tools such as the Bro IDS platform and how such tools can be tailored to your organization

So you’ve purchased a SAST tool
Despite the marketing, deployment of static application security testing (SAST) tools is much more than a point and click adventure. If you have purchased a SAST tool, you’ve undoubtedly had the thoughts, “Are we more secure?” “Are we done?” “Was that successful?” We will discuss the path for a successful SAST tool deployment, attempt to cut through the FUD in the industry regarding SAST, and highlight the real potential pitfalls you may face along the way through case studies.

Reversing for humans.
This talk is about reversing malware in the easiest way possible. While the tactics and procedure for doing so are not new the goal is to show you how you can get the simple things out and quickly identify the ‘things’ you need to asses its threat in your environment. This talk is for those that like to get dirty
