The hacker in the fun house mirror (A talk on skewed perspectives)

This is a talk on perspectives. Hackers, and hacking, are perceived
differently around the world and, in turn, some view our community and
what we do with different eyes than ours. I believe most
reports/papers about that topic are skewed and never give a quite
accurate global image. It’s all about perspectives, and these are what
I will explore in this talk. Being a foreign hacker attending a con,
or delivering an engagement, in an alien land often led to unexpected
situations that I will also recount. I am not only looking to
enlighten and entertain attendees with this talk, but also to have
them take a step back and look at the big picture, at what they are
part of; a global community that spreads beyond borders and
continents. My hope is that the contents of this talk will circulate
wider than just Con attendees so family, friends and co-workers get a
better understanding of who we are, what we stand for, and what that
thing is that brings us all together globally under one banner.

Real World Intrusion Response – Lessons from the Trenches

Two battle-scarred, sleep-deprived GE-CIRT incident responders share lessons learned from the trenches, from their daily duties repelling real world, high-end network intrusions globally. This talk will include fresh thinking and innovative ideas in: intrusion response, intrusion detection, effective use of intel, and defensive operations. We will cover roughly a dozen (time permitting) cutting edge ideas and techniques that you can take back to your own organizations and put into practice right away.

I Found a Thing and You Can Too: ISP’s Unauthenticated SOAP Service = Find (almost) All the Things!

This presentation is meant to encourage individuals to put the applications and software that they may use on their own home or small business networks under the research microscope. This is will be a discussion of a recent independent research project that eventually lead to an information disclosure vulnerability by a major U.S. ISP. This is also an example of when a coordinated disclosure goes right.
What began with simple curiosity into the inner workings of an application lead to the ability to list wireless network names and wireless encryption keys (among other things) armed only with a WAN IP address.

Offensive Mobile Forensics

It’s official; enterprise mobility has been redefined, and Bring Your Own Device is a permanent reality, not a trend or fad. The problem everyone has failed to solve, however is not protection of the device itself. MDM, and now MAM are failed attempts to enable the secure use of personally-owned mobile devices. They’ve failed because they stop short of providing a holistic solution for data protection. Enter Offensive Mobile Forensics, a process in which an analyst employs use of the same techniques and tools potential attackers or criminals use on lost or stolen devices, to determine the actual risk of that loss or theft to the enterprise. What data is accessible?

Leading Security When the Rest of The Business Doesn’t Care About Security
In many organizations, security teams are viewed as a “necessary evil” or a cumbersome speed bump in a project plan. It is almost as though the security teams purpose is in conflict with the organization’s purpose, creating competition for resources and funding rather than collaboration and quality execution. This talk focuses on leading through this challenging organizational environment, transforming from dissatisfied performers with high burnout to high performing teams that attract and retain elite staff.

Attacker Ghost Stories: Mostly Free Defenses That Gives Attackers Nightmares

This talk was originally titled “I’m tired of defenders crying”, but thought better of it. This talk is about the tidbits that I’ve seen piecemeal across the multitude of businesses big and small that were innovated and highly effective, yet free, or mostly free and stopped me dead in my tracks.

How To Find Mobile Internet Love

As mobile dating applications grow in popularity, so does our interest in the security posture behind these apps. We wanted to take a look at numerous features within these apps to determine the good, the bad, and the ugly. We will cover popular features such as location-based services, analytics, sharing of information, and any other features we discovered to be interesting.
This talk will feature some highlights from popular, obscure, and scary mobile dating applications to answer a very simple question: Can you find love on the Internet without having your personal data exposed?

Five Secrets to Building an Amazing Security Culture in Your Organization

The neuroscience behind security and learning shows most of the things we already do are not going to work or are just wrong. Here’s five things that will though and will make all the difference.
