Ghost on the wires - check the air |
Abstract
What happens when the network defenders get so good that you can no longer do command and control over the network without getting detected? When your job depends on it, you get creative, and do it out-of-band. Here's an interactive roleplay short story, to talk about off-the-wire command and control, and how you can do it too ( and what to look out for if you're defending ). Speaker Bio: I'm just a friendly local cyber security sherpa. Helping people verifiably build a safer, secure, and more resilient world by sharing knowledge through telling stories. This includes the privilege of presenting twice at DefCon Village, and a keynote at ChCon, amongst many other conferences. I am grounded by the many years of experience spent security advising and assessing critical infrastructure in Australia, and governments, to small startups. That said, I’m just another nerd of figuring out how things work, tinkering, and challenging assumptions; sharing a story so that we can all make better informed decisions through broader perspectives. |
