Into The Worm Hole: Metasploit For Web PenTesting
Metasploit is most commonly known for its epic pwnage of network and service level vulnerabilities. What you may not know is that same epic pwnage can be leveraged exploiting web application vulnerabilities. By leveraging the ability to custom build Metasploit modules or tools using the framework the power of Metasploit is only limited by the imagination of the user. “Into The Worm Hole: Metasploit For Web PenTesting” will build on prior knowledge of Metasploit and help elevate the tester’s skills and abilities by working hands-on building a custom scanner, using Metasploit to exploit Web Vulnerabilities, and learn to use Metasploit for phishing, XSS, and other web application vulnerabilities.

Jason Scott is an archivist, historian, documentary filmmaker, information collector, and public speaker. He figured you’d be sick of historical computing by now, but it’s not happening.
All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace
For over a century, the selling of computers as the inevitable tools of liberation, productivity, and new ways of life has led to some of the most striking images and words in the world of advertising and public relations. Jason Scott, the free range archivist of the Internet Archive, presents a slideshow and tour through some of the most notable excessive and most outlandish promises of the technology industry.
Former IDS analyst turned red teamer turned powerpoint jockey née cloud architect. Allergic to alcohol, compensates with Diet Coke.
Embracing the Cloud
It’s inevitable at this point, so rather than fighting, you may as well embrace it – cloud computing is coming to your organization soon (or more realistically, is already there, possibly under the radar!).
This talk covers how to get over the hump of resistance, do so smartly, and possibly enjoy some security benefits in the process. The focus here will be on info sec (or ‘cyber’), rather than the normal DevOps/Agile mumbo jumbo. Vendor selection, indicators of success, net new threat models and mitigations, and net new potential capabilities will be covered.

A year in the life of HP security research
In this presentation, results from the 2015 HP Cyber Security Risk Report, HP and Ponemon Institute studies, and the HP State of Security Operations 2015 Report will be shared to discuss vulnerability trends, where organizations are currently ailing in their security efforts, and how best to counter those threats.
Allen Householder is a Senior Vulnerability & Incident Researcher at the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC). He has been involved in internet security since his first professional job in 1995, where a few weeks after starting at a Fortune 500 company he was told “You’re the IP & DNS guy” and shortly thereafter was given responsibility for the corporate firewall. His recent work includes being the technical lead developer for the CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework (BFF) and Failure Observation Engine (FOE), and research into the (in)security of the Internet of Things. His research interests include applications of machine learning to software and system security, fuzzing, and modeling of information sharing and trust among Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure is a concurrent process
Media reports about Zero Days, bug bounties, and branded vulnerabilities usually focus on the publication of a vulnerability report. Vulnerability disclosure policies recently hit the mainstream with public kerfuffles between Google and Microsoft over the timing a few vulnerability announcements. However, public reports largely ignore the process of coordination and disclosure that precedes a publication event. For the past 26 years at the CERT Coordination Center, we have been helping connect security researchers and vendors in the interest of improving the security of the Internet and providing users and administrators with the information they need to secure their systems. In this talk I’ll describe the process of coordinating vulnerability disclosures, why it’s hard, and some of the pitfalls and hidden complexities we have encountered. This will be a behind-the-scenes look at a process that doesn’t receive much attention yet is of critical importance to internet security.

OSS Hygiene – Mitigating Security Risks from Development, Integration, Distribution and Deployment of Open Source Software
Across the landscape of IT, Open Source Software (OSS) is pervasive and ubiquitous. From the cloud and web to data centers; from the desktop to mobile devices; and across a range of embedded and IoT applications, OSS comands an ever-increasing, dominant share of the system software stack and provides equally substantial swathes of enabling application middleware, applications themselves, and tooling. While rapid adoption of OSS demonstrably offers a range of advantages, the community development model presents developers, integrators and deployers with a set of accompanying challenges related to security, operational, and legal risk. Historically, foremost among these concerns stood license compliance and IP protection; however, with recent highly publicized threats to OSS, security has joined these concerns and today dominates the OSS adoption conversation. This presentation will explore the role of and requirements for secure development of and deployment with OSS.
Before coming to work as a Security Architect and DFIR subject matter expert at Sqrrl, David led the hunt team at Mandiant, helping to develop and prototype innovative approaches to detect and respond to network attacks. Prior to that, he spent five years helping to build an intel-driven detection & response program for General Electric (GE-CIRT). He set detection strategies for a network of nearly 500 NSM sensors in over 160 countries and led response efforts for some of the company’s the most critical incidents.
David stays active in the community, speaking and writing on the subjects of Incident Detection & Response, Threat Intelligence and Security Analytics. He is also a member of the MLSec Project (http://www.mlsecproject.org).

Visual Hunting with Linked Data Graphs
Security analysts have to sift through a lot of information to hunt for and investigate incidents. Most tools, though, operate at a very low level, making it difficult to see past the individual events and get the big picture. Linked Data Analysis (LDA) visualizes the entities in your data as a graph and shows how they are related. When you are able to step back and see what’s going on at a higher level, it’s much easier to identify suspicious patterns and detect malicious activity that you might have otherwise missed.
In this presentation, we’ll use LDA techniques and open source software to visualize several different types of logs from the Bro network analysis platform. We’ll also demonstrate some practical strategies for identifying and investigating patterns that might indicate security incidents.

Hacking the Market. How financial market players manipulate prices and infrastructure.
“This is a look inside the current security of modern stock exchange networks in the US known as “the stock market”. The financial networks are an ecosystem that has grown both outside of and within the limits of the Internet to trade billions of dollars daily in the US alone. It is as unique as any internal infrastructure and a fascinating study of evolution where operators push systems to their limits for performance in a drive to generate revenue from their best customers (high-frequency traders) while operating within a regulatory framework that is changing rapidly. It’s a hacker’s sci-fi paradise!”
