Linux Lockdown: ModSecurity and AppArmor Friday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 1 Jay Beale Co-Founder and COO, InGuardians Taught by Bastille Linux creator Jay Beale, this hands-on workshop will teach you to use AppArmor to contain an attack on any program running on the system and to use ModSecurity to protect a web application from compromise. You will be given a vulnerable command line program and a vulnerable web application to protect, via a virtual machine that you can download beforehand. You will first compromise the application, then build up a defense and attempt your attack again. This workshop is being taught for the first time and provides two topics from the long-running Black Hat class, "Aikido on the Command Line." Prerequisites: Students should bring a working understanding of Linux. Materials: Students should bring a laptop with VMware Player, Fusion or Workstation, with at least 8GB of RAM.

Building Application Security Automation with Python Thursday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 5 Abhay Bhargav CTO, we45 In an age of rapid-release applications, DevOps and small application security teams, the only way application security can scale, is with automation. In this workshop, I will introduce some key automation practices and techniques using Python that students can use in their own application security programs for quick wins. These techniques will predominantly focus on developing automation scripts harnessing API from Open Source Web Vulnerability Scanners (like OWASP ZAP), Building fuzzers harnessing features of tools like mitmproxy with as little as a few lines of code and using NoSQL databases for easy search and to generate powerful application security analytics. The session will be entirely hands-on, with a lot of coding and very little theory. Prerequisites:

Knowledge of Python basics preferred but not required ( Basic Python skills are good enough. Knowledge of variables, loops, modules, imports and data structures would suffice). Examples with complete source code would be given to participants to study further. Hands-on exercises will be "templatized" to ensure that people are up and running quickly, even if they are not familiar with Python. Materials:

Laptop with 64bit CPU (Mac/Win/*nix) is good with 8GB+ RAM (Host Machine) preferred, and atleast 50GB of free HDD to import a Virtualbox VM

For Windows Laptops please ensure that Virtualization is enabled at the BIOS to run the VM. There have been issues where Virtualization being disabled at the BIOS has resulted in the VM not working. Please ensure that you have the necessary permissions to change BIOS settings if required (especially for work/corporate laptops)

64 bit CPU is required. we would be using Docker images and docker doesn't support 32bit systems

Please have the latest version of Virtualbox installed on the laptop. Max students: 50 | Registration: https://dc25_bhargav.eventbrite.com (Sold out!) Abhay Bhargav

Harnessing the Power of Docker and Kubernetes to Supercharge Your Hacking Tactics Saturday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 7 Anshuman Bhartiya Anthony Bislew Red Teamer, Intuit Running reconnaissance on a target network is almost always time-consuming and cumbersome. For experienced hackers, the process of manually enumerating and scanning target networks comes to feel like a gratuitous journey through Mordor on our way to the glory of shells, pivoting, and pilfering. Even worse, most of the automated reconnaissance solutions out there are expensive, limited in their effectiveness, opaque in their functionality...or all of the above.



What if you could automate your own customized approach to reconnaissance and exploitation by leveraging an entirely free and open-source framework to

1. Integrate the tools you trust and

2. Build tools of your own to capture those tricks that are unique to the special snowflake that is you?



In this workshop, we'll introduce you to the power of Docker and Kubernetes to supercharge your hacking tactics. We'll walk you through the process of building your tools as Docker images, scheduling and launching those tools in a Kubernetes cluster, and storing your results in a way that's easy to analyze and act upon. We'll spawn and destroy some attack environments and show how easy it is to do your testing without stressing out on how to get started. We'll even use some of the recon results to automate running exploitation tools against them and getting to the keys of the kingdom! By the end of this workshop you should have all the tools you need to build and extend your own recon and exploitation framework, that is supercharged and hyper scalable, thanks to Kubernetes. Prerequisites: Attendees should be:

Comfortable using a MacOS/Linux shell terminal

Comfortable enough with a common scripting language (preferably Python/Ruby) to write simple tools/scripts

Familiar with command-line tools common to security professionals (e.g. curl, Nmap, etc.)

Familiar with Docker (e.g. its purpose, the concepts of containers and images, etc.)

https://www.docker.com/



Familiar with Google Cloud Platform offerings (e.g Compute Engine, Container Engine, Storage, BigQuery, etc.)

https://cloud.google.com/



A basic knowledge of Kubernetes is extremely helpful but not required. https://kubernetes.io/ Materials:

• Laptop with a Linux-based OS (preferably Mac/Ubuntu)

• A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account - You can use the GCP Free Tier to get one. They give $300 worth of free credits which is more than enough.

• https://cloud.google.com/free/

• A Slack account configured with an incoming webhook - https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks

• An IDE such as Atom or Visual Studio Code.

• We will walk through installation of any other tools/software necessary such as Docker, Minikube, Google SDK, Golang, Python, etc. so you don’t have to have these pre-installed but it would help if you do.

Introduction to Cryptographic Attacks Thursday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 6 Matt Cheung Cryptography can seem like a mysterious black box making attacks even more mysterious. Introduction to Cryptographic Attacks is for those who have no experience with cryptographic attacks and how they work. In this workshop you will learn how simple some of these attacks are, and you will build a foundation in cryptographic primitives and potential weak points of real world systems.



The workshop will lead attendees through CTF style crypto challenges that illustrate critical cryptographic weaknesses. I recommend coming prepared with a Python environment and the following modules: cryptography or PyCrypto, gmpy2 (requires installing gmp), and requests. Prerequisites: None, though some moderate math and programming experience is useful. Materials: Laptop installed with Python as I will have some code snippets to help with the exercises. Max students: 30 | Registration: https://dc25_cheung.eventbrite.com (Sold out!) Matt Cheung

Matt Cheung started developing his interest in cryptography during an internship in 2011. He worked on implementation of a secure multi-party protocol by adding elliptic curve support to an existing secure text pattern matching protocol. Implementation weaknesses were not a priority and this concerned Matt. This concern prompted him to learn about cryptographic attacks from Dan Boneh's crypto 1 course offered on Coursera and the Matasano/cryptopals challenges. From this experience he has given talks and workshops at the Boston Application Security Conference and the DEF CON Crypto and Privacy Village.

Pwning machine learning systems Saturday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 6 Clarence Chio Security Researcher Anto Joseph Security Engineer, Intel Pwning machine learning systems is an offensive-focused workshop that gives attendees a whirlwind introduction to the world of adversarial machine learning. This three-hour workshop will not be your run-of-the-mill introduction to machine learning course, (are you kidding? you can get that from a thousand different places online!) but will focus on hands-on examples, and actually attacking these systems. Every concept covered in this workshop will be backed-up with either a worked example or a challenge activity, (done in groups of 1 to 3) with minimal lecturing and maximum "doing". By the end of the workshop, students will be able to confidently pwn machine-learning-powered malware classifiers, intrusion detectors, and WAFs. We will cover the three major kinds of attacks on machine learning and deep learning systems - model poisoning, adversarial generation, and reinforcement learning attacks. As a bonus, attendees will emerge from the session with a fully-upgraded machine learning B.S. detector, giving them the ability to call B.S. on any "next-generation system" that claims to be impenetrable because of machine learning. This is an intermediate technical class suitable for attendees with some ability to read and write basic Python code. To get the most out of this workshop, surface-level understanding of machine learning is good. (be able to give a one-line answer to the question "What is machine learning?")

A B C of Hunting Thursday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 1 Julian Dana Mandiant / FireEye We heard it all before. The old school SOC/CIRTs is not enough to fight the sophisticated attacks we see these days; being reactive to alerts and the known BAD model is not cutting it anymore. We need to move forward -> the CDC (Cyber Security Center) or the SOC/CIRT 2.0+, extra, super, plus! And, that means making the changes to become: Proactive, Predictive and Reactive too. And for that you need to start the HUNTING! .... BUT what is that? How do I do it? Where do I start? Which is the simplest for me as an analyst? Logs? Intelligence?



Let's start from the ABC... We will cover the theory and a few practical LABs. How to map the active Hunting to the Attack LyfeCycle. We will talk about the IOCs, Frequency Analysis (stacking). Intel driven LAB. And lastly ask you to use your imagination to create your own Hunting case.



Please get ready to talk, as it is going to be interactive (I'm not expecting to be the only one talking). Prerequisites: Basic Incident Response knowledge. Basic security architecture knowledge. Basic log review knowledge. Basic OS knowledge. Materials: The attendees should bring a laptop or a VM running Windows 7 or above with 2GB of RAM (4+ GB would be better) with connection to the Internet (the one provided by DEF CON works perfectly). Software: Spreadsheet editor, favorite text editor or log viewer. Admin rights to be able to install software if required.

Windows post-exploitation is the penetrating step of every penetration test if you're on a Windows network. You're obviously swimming in shells (it's Windows after all), but you aren't in full control yet. Your best account is Network Service and you want Enterprise Admin.



Elevating privileges, either through bypassing UAC or finding local exploits, stealing tokens, pivoting to other systems, scanning the local network, dumping credentials. There are few open source tools available, such as PowerShell Empire, Koadic C3, and Metasploit's Meterpreter. We will go through the low-level code that makes it all work.



The training will explore shellcode, COM, WMI, Windows API, and .NET, and how these open source tools bring it all together. You will walk away with the knowledge to write your own plugins for these systems, as well as your own custom malware. An in-depth understanding of antivirus detection and evasion will be included. This workshop is a focus on the code, not just the tactics. Prerequisites: Programming knowledge, one or all of the following: x86/x64, Python, JavaScript, PowerShell, Ruby, C Pentesting knowledge: Basic Windows post-exploitation Materials: Bring favorite OS and code editor, Windows VMs, WiFi.

Subverting Privacy Exploitation Using HTTP Friday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 5 Eijah Founder, Demonsaw The world has become an increasingly dangerous place. Governments and corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year to create new and cutting-edge technology designed for one purpose: the exploitation of our private communications. How did we let this happen? And what are we going to do about it? Are we willing to stand idly by and live in a state of fear while our freedom of speech is silently revoked? Or is there something we can do to challenge the status quo and use our skills to protect our privacy and the privacy of others?



The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-layer protocol that's the foundation of the modern Internet. Initially created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, HTTP is still the most popular protocol in use today. One of the core strengths of HTTP is that it's flexible enough to transmit any type of data. HTTP is also everywhere - it's in use on desktops, mobile devices, and even IoT. Due to the ubiquitous nature of HTTP, firewalls and proxies are configured by default to allow this type of traffic through. Could HTTP be used to communicate securely while completely bypassing network management rules?



This workshop challenges the assumption that HTTP cannot guarantee confidentiality of data. It will introduce you to the HTTP protocol and demonstrate how it can be used to send data securely. We'll create command-line applications in C/C++ on Linux that will use HTTP to securely send messages across the Internet, while bypassing firewall and proxy rules. We'll use a variety of ciphers, hashes, and other cryptographic routines that are part of open-source libraries. Whether you're a professional programmer, find yourself a little rusty and want a refresher course, or even if you'd never created a secure application in C/C++ before; this workshop is for you.



Please note that this is a medium-level, technical workshop and requires that attendees have prior experience in at least one programming language, preferably C or C++. Bring your laptop, a USB flash drive, and your favorite C/C++ 11 compiler (>= gcc/g++ 4.9.2 or msvc 2015). Prerequisites: Previous experience in at least one programming language is required. Previous experience with C/C++ and cryptography is helpful, but not required. Materials: Laptop with Windows, Linux, or OSX. USB flash drive for saving their progress.

Malware Triage: Malscripts Are The New Exploit Kit Thursday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 1 Sergei Frankoff Co-Founder, Open Analysis Sean Wilson Co-Founder, Open Analysis Malware triage is an important function in any mature incident response program; the process of quickly analyzing potentially malicious files or URLs to determine if your organization has exposure. Traditionally malware triage has focused on exploit kits which were the initial infection vector of choice, but this is changing. In recent years malscripts and file based exploits have become an equally common initial infection vector. Often delivered via email, malscripts can take many different forms, WScript, Javascript, or embedded macros. However, the goal is always the same; obtain code execution and deliver a malicious payload.



In this workshop you will work through the triage of a live malscript sample. During this process you will identify and extract malscripts from Office documents, manually deobfuscate the malscripts, circumvent anti-analysis techniques, and finally determine the purpose of the scripts and payload in order to develop countermeasures. The focus of this process will be the intersection between the techniques used to analyze malscripts and the larger incident response process.



This workshop is aimed at junior incident responders, hobby malware analysts, and general security or IT practitioners who are interested in learning more about the malware triage process. If you have no experience with malware analysis but you have a good understanding of scripting languages like VBScript, and Javascript, and you are familiar with windows internals you should have no problem completing the workshop. Please make sure to bring a laptop that you are able to analyze malware on (we recommend using a VM). We also recommend that you have Google Chrome installed, no other tools are required to be installed prior to the workshop. Prerequisites: None Materials: Students must bring a laptop that they are able to analyze malware on. We strongly recommend a VM with all anti-virus software disabled.

Scanning the Airwaves: building a cheap trunked radio/pager scanning system Friday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 4 Richard Henderson Bryan Passifiume Every second of every day, radio communications are flying through the air: many cities around the world have implemented multi-million dollar trunked radio systems for their transit, municipal, public safety, police, fire and EMS radio networks. Have you ever wondered what's being said over the air? Many of these systems are easily listenable with some basic software and very inexpensive hardware dongles originally designed for capturing over-the-air television broadcasts. This workshop will walk you through the basics of trunked radio systems, how they work, and how you can set up a listening post to decode these systems and listen in. We'll also cover the legalities of listening in, and where to find information online about your local radio systems. This workshop will cover setting up and using the Trunk88 scanning software, and how to scan other conventional (non-trunked) radio systems. A free SDR USB stick will be provided to the first 35 attendees. If time permits, we will also quickly walk through scanning popular archaic pager systems like POCSAG Prerequisites: No prerequisites required - only a desire to want to listen in on the radio systems around you, a basic understanding of radio might help, but is not essential. Materials: Laptop with Windows installed (no guarantees a VM will work with the hardware, so set up proper dual boot on your MacBooks and Linux machines, please) Notepad, pen. The first 35 participants will be given a free SDR/DVB-T USB stick in order to participate in the practical portion of the workshop. Any attendees beyond that will need to purchase their own SDR stick at the vendor village. There should be multiple vendors selling them. No fees are required.

Industrial Control System Security 101 and 201 Friday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 6 Matthew E. Luallen Executive Inventor, CYBATI Nadav Erez Senior Researcher, Claroty's Research team This 4-hour session is designed to arm incident response teams and security researchers with vital skills needed to monitor, analyze and respond to attacks against the unique networks that make up the backbone of the world's critical infrastructure. With recent attacks on critical infrastructure demonstrating the real and present danger to ICS networks, it is more important than ever to hone these skills and reduce the blind spots that exist for security teams. Understanding the inner workings of these networks, their unique protocols and the methods adversaries will employ to disrupt (including using legitimate commands to ICS network components) is of paramount importance as we witness an increasingly active threat landscape unfolding.



The workshop is composed of two, 2-hour sessions of ICS Fundamentals 101 and ICS Advanced 201. The two sessions step both the novice and intermediate skilled participant through the risks and mitigations of critical infrastructure and control system security.



The participant will use open source and trial editions of RexDraw, PeakHMI, NRL Core, Kali Linux, Python and Raspberry PIs.



The instructors will also perform demonstrations using real industrial devices. Participants will learn the ICS fundamentals and the value of technical, operational and physical security controls within ICS environments.



ICS 101 will guide the participants through the elements of ICS technical components (hardware, software, logic and protocols) through reversing engineering a bottling facility and a traffic light. The participants will learn about physical I/O, functional logic, industrial protocols and user interface design using the philosophy of build, break and secure. The participants will reverse a pre-built HMI user interface, OPC tag server and functional logic; break using industrial protocols overrides, MitM modifications and logic manipulations; secure using social, communication, application/os, firmware and hardware controls.



ICS 201 will teach students how to understand the content of network packet captures across a wide variety of proprietary ICS protocols. Using this understanding, we will explore in-depth the attacks and defenses demonstrated in ICS 101 to associate the value of active defense.



Participants will learn how to utilize WireShark to perform a deep packet analysis on multiple PCAPs ranging from simple to complex. Students will be taught the fundamental skills necessary for performing blind protocol analysis on proprietary ICS protocols, and learn how to create custom rules for specific addresses within the packets as well as ICS vendor specific commands. This analysis will give insight into the attacks performed, the elements manipulated and valuable tools available to actively defend the environment. Participants will gain in-depth understanding of industrial protocols and their complexity as well as detailed explanation of "behind the scenes" of ICS operations. When leaving this workshop, participants will be able to capture, and analyse industrial communication flows originating from different network segments using open source tooling (e.g. Snort, Wireshark, etc), and how to identify potential anomalous network traffic. Prerequisites: Experience with Linux and Windows operating system administration. Experience with TCP/IP networking. Experience with Kali Linux. Materials: A laptop with at least one USB port, 40GB of unused hard disk space, minimum of Intel i3 processor, most recent VMWare Player or equivalent VMWare product.

Penetration Testing in Hostile Environments: Client & Tester Security Friday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 1 Wesley McGrew Director of Cyber Operations, HORNE Cyber Solutions Brad Pierce Director of Network Security For HORNE Cyber Penetration testers can have the tables turned on them by attackers, to the detriment of client and tester security. Vulnerabilities exist in widely-used penetration testing tools and procedures. Testing often takes place in hostile environments: across the public Internet, over wireless, and on client networks where attackers may already have a foothold. In these environments, common penetration testing practices can be targeted by third-party attackers. This can compromise testing teams in the style of “ihuntpineapples”, or worse: quietly and over a long period of time. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of client networks is also put at risk by "sloppy" testing techniques.



In this workshop, we present a comprehensive set of recommendations that can be used to build secure penetration testing operations. This includes technical recommendations, policies, procedures, and guidance on how to communicate and work with client organizations about the risks and mitigations. The goal is to develop testing practices that:

- ...are more professionally sound

- ...protect client organizations

- ...protect penetration testers' infrastructure, and

- ...avoid a negative impact on speed, agility, and creativity of testers



The recommendations are illustrated with entertaining and informative hands-on exercises. These include:

- Vulnerability analysis of a penetration testing device's firmware

- Quick and dirty code audits of high-risk testing tools

- Monitoring and hijacking post-exploitation command and control

- Layering security around otherwise insecure tools.



After this workshop, you will walk away with actionable recommendations for improving the maturity and security of your penetration testing operations, as well as an exposure to the technical aspects of protecting the confidentiality of sensitive client data. You will participate in hands-on exercises that illustrate the importance of analyzing your own tools for vulnerabilities, and learn how to think like an attacker that hunts attackers. You'll hear about the challenges that are inherent in performing penetration tests on sensitive client networks, and learn how to layer security around your practices to reduce the risks. Prerequisites: To get the most out of this class, students should have the ability to read/follow code in many programming languages (C/C++, Python, PHP, etc.). Students should also be familiar with navigation and use of the Linux command line. Experience with penetration testing will be useful, but those new to penetration testing should not be discouraged. The entire point is to pick up good operational security habits. Materials: Students who wish to participate in the hands-on exercises should bring a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM, the operating system of their choice, and VMware Workstation or Fusion installed (sign up for a trial license from VMware just before the conference, if necessary). Virtual machines will be provided on USB sneakernet, so you may prefer to bring/configure a burner laptop. One exercise uses Wi-Fi. Apart from that, everything takes place within the virtual machines, and you will be able to disconnect all of your physical networking interfaces.

Build your stack with Scapy, for fun and profit Thursday, 10:30 to 14:30 in Octavius 7 stryngs Jack64 zero-x 802.11 is still the Wild West in 2017. It has been around since the 90's, yet as most things with the Internet, security has always been a bolt-on addition. Through passive and active observations over the past couple years, it occurred to us that a workshop on how to abuse wifi would be interesting. This in and of itself is a spiderweb. There are so many ways to approach it; jam it, DOS it, crack it, so forth and so on.



We decided on the "ride the wave" approach. Take the existing infrastructure, and use it to your advantage by molding custom frames as you see fit. We feel this is under utilized and thus: demonstrations, beatings and examples should be given. ARP, ARP, ARP, who let the ARPs out. That is typically the battle cry for anything "LAN" these days. Pop the network, hop on the network, do your ARP, grab your MITM and go. Tried and true, it works, but it's outdated, oldskool and quite frankly, boring. Any hacker worth their salt should be able to arpspoof and ettercap. Any WIDS/WIPS should instantly lock on to what's going on and ban or alert accordingly. What we need, is a new approach.



Enter, Scapy. Without spending an hour on the wonders of Scapy and what it can do for you as a Pentester in this briefing, we'd quite frankly rather cut down to the nuts and bolts, and just, show you.



This workshop is going to center around Scapy and how you as a Pentester can use it to your advantage. Take the 802.11 and bend it to your will. Make it do your bidding and leave the SysAdmins scratching Prerequisites: Familiarity with RFC 1149 Materials: - Laptop with bootable Linux of some variety

- Debian based is preferred

- apt is way easier than yum...

- WiFi NIC with Monitor Mode capability

- Curiosity Max students: 85 | Registration: https://dc25_stryngs.eventbrite.com/ (Sold out!) stryngs

stryngs has been into the scene since 2006 when he first discovered wifi. Since then he has learned and absorbed all he can. He has bothered many a person on the IRC. Though he might have perturbed you with his questions, he is grateful for the knowledge you bestowed upon him. Without the community, stryngs wouldn't be where he is today. As such, hopefully with this workshop, he is truly giving back to the community which brought him to where he is at today. Jack64

João Pena Gil (Jack64) is a computer security researcher from Portugal, working in the field since 2015. Currently working at Checkmarx as the AppSec Analysis Team Leader by day and a Cobalt Core Researcher by night, Jack64's interests are broad in information security, ranging from networking protocols to application security and cryptography. Stryngs had a big influence in Jack64's interest in information security, sharing with him his proof-of-concept for airpwn-ng, which prompted Jack64 to learn more about 802.11 and the rest of the networking stack in general, leveraging the powerful capabilities of scapy and python. This is some of the knowledge he hopes to share in this workshop. zero-x

Hacking Network Protocols using Kali Saturday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 1 Thomas Wilhelm Security Solutions Expert, HP Inc. John Spearing There are a lot of hacking tutorials on how to compromise servers, but what about network devices? In this workshop, we will demonstrate how to conduct penetration tests against a number of different network protocols, specifically those at layer 2 and 3 of the OSI model, in order to assess and circumvent the security of an organization. Participants will be able to watch a demonstration on how to leverage insecurities in different protocols, and replicate the attacks themselves in a lab environment at the workshop. In addition, we will discuss what steps network engineers can do to limit the insecurities.

This workshop will contain network devices in which participants will be able to connect to and perform the demonstrated attacks. Participation will be reduced since network equipment resources are limited, unless additional lab equipment can be procured. Prerequisites: Since the subject matter discusses network protocols, it is required for students to understand the OSI model and specifics of well-known network protocols, particularly those found at layer 2 and layer 3 of the OSI model. Materials: Since this is an advanced penetration testing subject, participants should have a laptop that contains an up to date Kali Linux image. In addition, if they want to participate in actual network protocol attacks, they should bring CAT5 cables for connectivity. This class will not spend time getting students online - participants should already be familiar with configuring static IP addresses and/or DHCP for their systems. Because participants will be able to connect to a lab environment with active exploits, it is suggested that students use a computer system that can be easily re-imaged at the end of the workshop.

Brainwashing Embedded Systems Thursday, 14:30 to 18:30 in Octavius 4 Craig Young Security Researcher, Tripwire Lane Thames Security Researcher, Tripwire Jiva Security Research Engineer, Tripwire Learning the secret incantations to make embedded systems carry out your will is not as hard as one might think. In the world of IoT, the hardened system is rare and most times a firmware image is more than enough to find and exploit weakness. This session explains in detail a process for going from zero-knowledge to zero-day on real-world devices without breaking a sweat. Attendees to this tutorial session will learn the ropes of firmware dissection, app decompilation, and manual fuzz testing in a hands-on hack lab. Participants will be provided with a customized Kali Linux virtual appliance and given access to several consumer devices for analysis. These techniques have been successfully employed by the author to identify over 100 CVEs on embedded/IoT devices as well as to win the 0-day and CTF tracks in the DEF CON 22 SOHOpelessly Broken router hacking competition. Prerequisites: Intermediate *nix knowledge; proficiency with a shell (including writing BASH or similar scripts); strong understanding of HTTP. Familiarity with tools for working with HTTP is a big plus (i.e. cURL, Burp, urllib, etc) Materials: Nothing is required but in order to make the most out of the workshop, students will want to have a laptop with an 802.11 adapter and virtualization software capable of running an x86_64 virtual machine from an OVA/OVF (e.g. VirtualBox or VMWare). Virtual machine files will be made available for download from the Internet before the workshop and it is best for participants to load the content in advance. The material will also be available on USB and a local file server. Max students: 72 | Registration: https://dc25_young.eventbrite.com/ (Sold out!) Craig Young
