Today's threat landscape is all about Cyber. We have cyber threats, cyber security, cyber warfare, cyber intelligence, cyber espionage... Cyber is a synonym for the Internet, but sometimes, it's not -all- about the internet. Focusing defences on the Internet front leads to some wrong assumptions and the overlooking of much simpler, yet just-as-dangerous attack vectors.
Cybersecurity is a difficult and serious endeavor which over time strives to find a balance in managing the security of computing capabilities to protect the technology which connects and enriches the lives of everyone. Peering into the future of cybersecurity provides valuable insights around the challenges and opportunities. The industry is changing rapidly and attackers seem to always be one step ahead. Presented by Matthew Rosenquist at the 2016 Connected Security Expo (CSE) @ ISC West http://www.connectedsecurityexpo.com/

The Hardcore Stuff I Hack: This talk is going to give a run through of some of the technical challenges paul and his team have overcome over the years - in as much hardcore detail as possible
This document discusses hacking tools and techniques that could enable man-in-the-middle attacks on wireless networks. It describes how a wireless penetration testing device could intercept probe requests from a device looking to connect to a wireless network, and respond posing as the legitimate network to establish a connection. Once connected, the device could monitor and manipulate web traffic using tools like Cain & Abel, ARP poisoning, and DNS spoofing. Rainbow tables are also mentioned as a tool for cracking Windows passwords using hashed values within a few minutes. Throughout, the document emphasizes these techniques should only be used for legitimate security testing and not illegal hacking.
This is a PowerPoint Presentation I updated for the VP of I.T. Most of the copy is his, however the format itself is all new. Due to the fact I downgraded this to a PDF for this site's purposes, the movement and sound has been compromised. With that in mind, I've been told it's quite a zippy slideshow for such a dry subject! I have also deleted several slides which had pictures of employees and changed their names elsewhere.
This document summarizes an Internet census conducted in 2012 that involved port scanning the entire IPv4 address space using insecure embedded devices accessed with default or empty credentials. Over 420,000 devices were accessed to build a distributed port scanner network. Various scanning methods were used including ICMP ping, reverse DNS, Nmap scans, service probes, and traceroutes to gather data on open ports, network services, and network topology.

ASSIGNMENT2: Computer Architecture and Imaging “So you’re telling me an exact replica of ZeroBit’s concept drawing has shown up on the cover of Apex’s product development brochure? What are the chances of that? … Unless somebody here at ZeroBit is leaking information…. I’ll get my best investigator on it.” “Thanks for coming by. I wanted to talk with you face to face. I just spoke with our VP for External Relations, and it looks like we may have a major security breach on our hands. How quickly can you image this USB stick?” “Our suspect has access to a live system here at Headquarters, as well as a networked computer at our remote location. We’ll need to examine both of them. You should be able to slip into his office and acquire his RAM and swap space while he's at training this afternoon. But while you’re waiting, check your email for a message from Legal.” When you open the message from the ZeroBit Counsel, you see four questions that need to be answered in preparation for any possible legal challenge. As you’re answering the fourth one, a notification pops up reminding you that the suspect’s training session is about to start...that’s your cue that it will soon be safe to log in to the suspect’s computer. You run your program, acquiring the RAM and swap space from the live system. Then you log out, leaving the suspect’s office and computer as you found them. Your colleagues have left for the day, but you’ve stayed behind to image the suspect’s remote computer after hours. You log on to the system and have no problem using netcat to transfer a copy of his remote hard drive to your workstation at Headquarters. You lean back in your chair and smile. You’ve imaged all of the suspect’s known devices. Tomorrow you’ll compile your analyses into a final forensic report. Who knows? You may even be asked to present your report in court! Digital forensics involves processing data from many different types of devices, ranging from desktops to laptops, tablets to smartphones, servers to cloud storage, and even devices embedded in automobiles, aircraft, and other technologies. In this project you will focus on the architecture and imaging of desktop and laptop computers. You will be working in the VM to image and verify the contents of the following: 1. a USB stick 2. the RAM and swap space of a live computer 3. a networked computer hard drive \ In the final step, you compile all of the previous lab notes and reports into one comprehensive report. The final assignment in this project is a forensic imaging lab report that can be presented in a court of law. Before you can begin imaging the USB drive provided by your supervisor, you need to review your technical manual in order to prepare a statement of work to give to your company's legal team. Are you ready to get started? When you submit your project, your work will be evaluated using the competencies listed below. You can use the list below to self-check your work before submission. · 1.1: Or.
Financial services organizations are prime targets for cyber criminals. They must take extreme care to protect customer data, while also ensuring high levels of network availability to allow for 24/7 access to critical financial information. Additionally, industry consolidation has created large, heterogeneous network environments within large financial institutions, making it difficult to ensure that networks have the necessary visibility and protection to prevent a devastating security breach. By leveraging NetFlow from existing network infrastructure, financial services organizations can achieve comprehensive visibility across even the largest, most complex networks. The ability to quickly detect a wide range of potentially malicious activity helps prevent damaging data breaches and network disruptions.
