Sector 2015: Stealth Attack from the Produce Aisle

raspberry piIt’s official: Keith Benedict (@mehtryx) and I will be presenting at Sector 2015 in Toronto. Our topic is called “Stealth Attack from the Produce Aisle”. Here’s a summary of what to expect:

The proliferation of devices like the Raspberry Pi, Pineapple Express, PwnPi and more make it easier (and cheaper) than ever to obtain a complete stealth attack or defense arsenal.

In this session, we’ll take a low-cost, credit-card sized ARM computer, add some freely available software and see what we get. We’ll learn:

  • what options are available to build such a device
  • how to build a working device
  • add-ons including additional network adapters and wireless extenders
  • overview of some commonly available software tools
  • how to conduct attack and defense scenarios

Hardware will include Cubox, Hummingboard, Raspberry Pi and more. Software will include Kali Linux and a multitude of offensive and defensive infosec tools.

You’ll come away from this session with a better understanding of how much you can accomplish with one of these devices and a healthier respect (or greater fear) of tiny computers.

Registration for Sector has begun – hurry now and get your ticket before prices rise!

Let Keith and I know if you’ll be coming to Sector and let us know what you’d like us to touch on during our presentation.

Talk soon!

SC Congress 2015 – update on VIP ticket draw

SCCongress-logo-2015Folks,

SC Congress is three weeks away. There are plenty of great sessions planned, a large selection of leading IT security vendors to talk to and a lot of infosec professionals to meet and socialize with.

Last week, I posted an offer that was too good to refuse: register now for a free Expo Only VIP Pass ($150), receive an amazon gift card (for the first 50 registrants) and be entered into a draw for one of two VIP Two-Day Full Conference Passes ($1,095 value).

You’re not too late to get your free Expo Only VIP Pass and amazon gift card. Go to sccongress.com and use promo code TODDHDOWEXPOVIP or click this link to go directly to the conference registration site.

As for the VIP ticket draw, the SC Congress team has asked me to extend the draw for an extra week. So, I’m extending the deadline to register until next Monday May 25 at 9am. So if you haven’t registered yet, don’t delay! You still have time to win a VIP Two-Day Full Conference Pass.

Do you have your ticket yet? Let me know in the comments!

Talk soon!
