Alba13 - Going deep with Janet -
Jac0byteRebel & F1nux
So Janet likes
the Scottish researchers! I mean Janet actually likes two Scottish
researchers at any one time! Janet is very accommodating! I think
we can all agree, Janet is interesting! Now get your minds out of
the gutters. I mean Janet (Joint Academic Network) CSIRT Annual
Security Conference on the 30th October in London, silly!
So myself and Gavin 'jac0byteRebel'
Ewan are talking at Janet this year, and I must say I'm excited to be
there. Some of the talks look very interesting to say the least, and
as always it's a great pleasure to see Gavin speak. I'm especially
looking forward to seeing the 'new kid on the block' Stephen Bonner
speaking. I've heard that this kid will go far in the industry so
I'm expecting great things from him. I just hope he copes with the
pressure of public speaking; if he takes my advice he'll bring some
chocolate to keep his blood sugar up!
That aside, I suppose I should talk
about me, well not actually me, but my talk. So, long story short,
I'm going to talk about why you should test IDS/IPS and what can
happen if you don't! The talk is based on three fictional case
studies that have all taken inspiration from real life events. I
very much enjoy delivering this talk, as the delivery is a little
different from how I normally do things. I hope that the Janet
audience will enjoy it too.
(jac0byteRebel's (not to be confused
with Jac0byterebel) bit)
My talk, contrary to popular belief, is
not about going old school with bats and choppers. It is however a
're-imagining' of my first ever security conference talk, A
Salesman's Guide to Social Engineering. In the reworked talk all of
the psychology BS is stripped out and we are left with a simple
narrative; What if one of our salesforce went rogue? How could a
sales process be applied in a 'kill chain' type manner to pwn a
company and walk away with trade secrets and other all the other
juicy stuff. A word of warning: if you are easily offended or hold
firmly onto the belief that social engineers are mind bending Jedi,
then you might want to stay at home. To the rest of you, see you
there.
(jac0byteRebel's bit ends)
Thanks Gavin for your input, you'll
need to remind me to take the bat and chopper out of my bag! All
joking aside, we're really looking forward to this. Detection,
Social Engineering, PCI, Japanese Cherries, some dude called Robbie
Walker, and the Bonner chocolate assault all make for a fine day with
Janet in London.
