Introduction To Exploitation & MetasploitRaghav Bisht
Penetration testing involves evaluating systems or networks using malicious techniques to identify security vulnerabilities. It is done by exploiting vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Common vulnerabilities arise from design errors, poor configuration, and human error. Penetration testing is conducted to secure government data transfers, protect brands, and find vulnerabilities in applications, operating systems, databases, and network equipment. Metasploit is an open-source framework used for hacking applications and operating systems that contains exploits, payloads, and modules. Msfconsole is an interface used to launch attacks and create listeners in Metasploit.

Privacy Exposed: Ramifications of Social Media and Mobile TechnologyTom Eston
Mobile devices and applications have taken the world by storm. Millions of consumers are using these devices for everything from conducting financial transactions, accessing health care information and sharing personal experiences over social media. Unfortunately there is still little regard or concern with how mobile platforms and major social networks collect, transmit and store personal and corporate information. This exacerbates existing privacy concerns and the need for new regulations in the age of big data. In this presentation we discuss the latest privacy concerns with this new technology. Topics will include:
• All new privacy concerns with mobile application data, geolocation, address book harvesting , third party information sharing and the latest mobile technology such as NFC (Near Field Communication)
• A close look at the top 20 mobile applications and how they transmit, store and reuse personal or private information
• Comparison of current privacy policies of the major social networks, what they tell you and what they don't
• Ramifications of international and US privacy regulations and how this impacts mobile devices, social networks, you and your business
Show me the money. If hackers were able to manipulate the world’s accounting systems, governments and corporations would be in a frenzy. Guess what? Hackers can…and will. In this presentation we describe manipulating the major financial accounting systems used by corporations large and small to show the importance of good Information Security and Accounting controls. In this talk we identify ways to manipulate accounting systems for financial gain demonstrating mass accounting systems fraud. Through our research we will demonstrate multiple ways to manipulate accounting data and misappropriate funds. We will also show information security and accounting controls needed to detect these types of advanced attacks. Tom and Spencer will be releasing and demonstrating new PoC malware and a Metasploit meterpreter extension that targets Microsoft Dynamics GP, one of the most popular accounting systems in the world.
Just when you thought “bath salts” were turning innocent humans into flesh eating Zombies in Florida…mobile devices have begun taken over the world like an infectious Zombie virus outbreak. Tablets and mobile phones are being used by everyone today and are more powerful than ever before. The technology implemented in these devices is truly bleeding edge. From new wireless technology like NFC (Near Field Communication) to social networks being integrated directly into mobile operating systems, the times are rapidly changing. These new technology advancements also introduce new privacy and physical security concerns not seen before as well. In addition, with new technology come new responsibilities and challenges for security professionals and consumers alike especially in a world of BYOD.
In this presentation Tom Eston and Kevin Johnson explore and exploit the new technology being implemented by these mobile platforms. Tom and Kevin have discovered interesting security and privacy issues with Android Jelly Bean, Apple iOS 6, OS X Mountain Lion, NFC and many popular mobile applications. New tools and exploits will be discussed that can be used by penetration testers to exploit these new technologies. Tom and Kevin will also discuss strategies to combat the ensuing mobile device onslaught into the enterprise. This information alone will help you to survive the “Rise of the Mobile Dead”.
The Android vs. Apple iOS Security Showdown Tom Eston
Android and Apple mobile devices have taken the market by storm. Not only are they being used by consumers but they are now being used for critical functions in businesses, hospitals, government and more. This trend is expected to continue with the popularity of mobile devices such as tablets well into the future. In this presentation we put Android up against Apple iOS to determine which, if any, are ready for enterprise or federal use. Once and for all we battle the Apple App Store vs. Google Play, device updates, developer controls, security features and the current slew of vulnerabilities for both devices. Which platform will emerge the victor? You might find that while the "tech is hot" the implementation and built in security controls are "not".
Five Lessons Learned From Breaking Into A Casino: Confessions of a Penetratio...Tom Eston
Breaking in is easy, real security is hard. Breaching the security of a Casino doesn't have to be as dramatic or dangerous as depicted in the Ocean's Eleven movies. In fact, by simply sitting in a hotel room of a Casino, hackers can find ways to breach the high security that Casino's have been known for. This type of attack has a simple goal: steal the Casino's money and cheat the system. All of this can be done without anyone seeing you and is much easier then walking directly into the Casino vault armed with guns and explosives.
In this presentation Tom Eston from SecureState walks us through some of the more interesting and exciting penetration tests his team have conducted. These include breaking into Casinos, Banks, Energy companies and other high security facilities (with permission of course). Tom's stories not only show how attackers break in but also show important lessons on how businesses can better secure their physical as well as network assets.
Smart Bombs: Mobile Vulnerability and ExploitationTom Eston
Kevin Johnson, John Sawyer and Tom Eston have spent quite a bit of time evaluating mobile applications in their respective jobs. In this presentation they will provide the audience an understanding of how to evaluate mobile applications, examples of how things have been done wrong and an understanding of how you can perform this testing within your organization.
This talk will work with applications from the top three main platforms; iOS, Android and Blackberry. Kevin, Tom and John have used a variety of the top 25 applications for each of these platforms to provide real world examples of the problems applications face.
Don't Drop the SOAP: Real World Web Service Testing for Web Hackers Tom Eston

It notes that current tools, methodologies, and testing environments for assessing web service security are inadequate. The document advocates aligning web service testing with the Penetration Testing Execution Standard methodology. It also highlights new attacks against web services and demos tools like Metasploit modules for assessing web services and the Damn Vulnerable Web Services testing environment.
Attacking and Defending Apple iOS DevicesTom Eston
IT loves to use Apple iPhones and iPads, but hates supporting them. For most environments, they represent the exception, and are not subject to standard corporate controls. The reason the exception is allowed is usually the fact that the CEO bought an iPhone and iPad the day they were released, and then quickly filled them with sensitive corporate data. With their portability and popularity, it is only a matter of time before one of these devices ends up missing. How worried should you be? This presentation will cover the latest real-world attack techniques for compromising Apple’s iOS devices, introduce a new assessment methodology that can be used by penetration testers, and discuss the latest defensive techniques for securely deploying iOS devices within your enterprise.
Social Zombies Gone Wild: Totally Exposed and UncensoredTom Eston
Social networks have jumped onto the geolocation bandwagon with location-based tweets, status updates, check-ins, mayorships, and more. This doesn’t take into account EXIF, QR codes, and advancements in HTML 5 geo implementations, which are being built into these location-based services. This is often implemented and enabled without the user even knowing it. In fact, geolocation is one of the hottest technologies being used in everything from web browsers to mobile devices. As social networks throw our location coordinates around like candy, its only natural that bad things will happen and abuse will become more popular. This presentation will cover how social networks and other websites are currently using location-based services, what they plan on doing with it, and a discussion on the current privacy and security issues. We will also discuss the latest geolocation hacking techniques and will release custom code that can abuse all of the features being discussed.

In Social Zombies II: Your Friends Need More Brains, Tom Eston, Kevin Johnson and Robin Wood continue the Zombie invasion from "Social Zombies: Your Friends want to eat Your Brains" presented at DEFCON 17. This presentation will further examine the risks of social networks and then present new techniques and tools that can be used to exploit these issues. This presentation begins by discussing new twists on existing privacy concerns that are caused by the trust mass that is social networks. We use this privacy confusion to exploit members and their companies during our penetration tests. The presentation then discusses social network botnets and bot programs. Both the delivery of malware through social networks and the use of these social networks as command and control channels will be examined. Tom, Kevin and Robin next explore the use of browser-based bots and their delivery through custom social network applications and show new ways social network applications can be used for malware delivery. Finally, the information available through the social network APIs is explored using third-party applications designed for penetration testing. This allows for complete coverage of the targets and their information. This was presented at Shmoocon 2010 on February 6, 2010.
Enterprise Open Source Intelligence GatheringTom Eston
Presented at the Ohio Information Security Summit, October 30, 2009.
What does the Internet say about your company? Do you know what is being posted by your employees, customers, or your competition? We all know information or intelligence gathering is one of the most important phases of a penetration test. However, gathering information and intelligence about your own company is even more valuable and can help an organization proactively determine the information that may damage your brand, reputation and help mitigate leakage of confidential information.
This presentation will cover what the risks are to an organization regarding publicly available open source intelligence. How can your enterprise put an open source intelligence gathering program in place without additional resources or money. What free tools are available for gathering intelligence including how to find your company information on social networks and how metadata can expose potential vulnerabilities about your company and applications. Next, we will explore how to get information you may not want posted about your company removed and how sensitive metadata information you may not be aware of can be removed or limited. Finally, we will discuss how to build a Internet posting policy for your company and why this is more important then ever.
Presentation I gave at the CoolTwitter Conference in Cleveland, Ohio August 7, 2009. I talked about the top 5 1/2 threats to Twitter and ways you can use it safely. Yes, there are more then 5 1/2 issues but I only had 15 minutes! :-)
During our last tool talk at NEOISF, Matt Neely talked about using a Fon (a wireless access point) with Karmetasploit to attack wireless clients for penetration testing. In this talk we will take this concept a step further and show you what the latest techniques are for conducting man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM). First, we will define what man-in-the-middle attacks are and why we should be doing these in our penetration tests. The technical discussion will include talk about our old favorites like Wireshark, Ettercap and Cain. Next, we will show some new techniques introduced with tools like SSLStrip, The Middler, and Network Miner. Finally, we will end with an open discussion on how to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks.
Rise of the Autobots: Into the Underground of Social Network BotsTom Eston
How do you know that last friend request or Twitter follower was an actual live human being? The truth is...you don't! Bots and bot manufacturers have become rampant in social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter exploiting the trust relationships that make social media work. Why are bots taking control of social networks? It's simple. Social networks are the fastest growing phenomenon of our time. For example, Facebook alone recently reached 150 million potential targets for spammers, malware authors, and other undesirables in 2008. Social networks are only getting bigger and bots will be part of this trend.
This presentation will take you on a journey into the thriving bot underground where bots are manufactured for every purpose imaginable. We will talk about good bots, bad bots, really evil bots, how to identify bots, terminating bots and the future possibility of social network botnets to rule them all.
This was presented at Notacon 6 in Cleveland Ohio.
Maltego is a data mining and information gathering tool that helps determine real world links between people, social networks, companies, websites, internet infrastructure, phrases, and documents. It works using "transforms" to identify key relationships and unknown relationships between information. Maltego logs limited usage data while respecting user privacy, and can be used for security assessments, investigations, and learning more about companies and individuals by accessing public information from beyond just Google in an easier manner than traditional search methods.
Online Social Networks: 5 threats and 5 ways to use them safelyTom Eston
This document discusses online social networks and some of the threats associated with using them. It defines online social networks as online communities where users can share interests and interact through chat, messaging, and other features. The most popular networks are used most by Generation Y and teens. Some key threats include cyberbullying, stalking, sexual predators, vulnerabilities in applications that can compromise privacy settings, spear phishing spam, and the aggregation of personal data by networks. It provides five ways to safely use social networks such as setting private defaults, being wary of applications, limiting personal information shared, only accepting friend requests from known people, and only posting information one is comfortable with others seeing.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

2. Topics What makes a good penetration testing framework? Frameworks available What is the Metasploit Framework? How does it work? Features Metasploit autopwn Limitations Live demonstration Basic Metasploit exploit Exploit multiple hosts with autopwn
3. What makes a good penetration testing framework? Platform independent Install on Windows, Mac, Linux Good exploit collection w/regular updates A intuitive, robust GUI Ability to add new exploits Open source or ability to customize Good reporting tools
4. What frameworks are available? Metasploit Framework Inguma SecurityForest Attack Tool Kit SAINT ($) Immunity Canvas ($) CORE IMPACT ($) Some are application or web specific… Orasploit (Oracle) PIRANA (email content filtering framework) BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework) W3af (Web Application Exploit Framework)
5. What is the Metasploit Framework? Tool for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine Runs on Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, Windows Version 3.x written in Ruby. 2.x Perl Remote/Local exploits browser exploits with self contained web server Ability to create exploits Written by HD Moore Version 3.1 HD Moore, spoonm, skape
6. How does it work? Allows a user to configure exploit modules and launch them against target systems Choose and configure a payload Payload : code that is executed on the target system if the exploit is successful (bind/reverse shell, VNC server, etc...) Basic Example If the exploit is successful...a payload is executed and the user is able to interact with a command shell Automated Example Collect host information and exploit multiple hosts (autopwn) Nmap Scan, Nessus import
7. Features Choose from 269 exploits. 118 payloads. (latest updated version 3.1) Web, command line, GUI interfaces, multiple sessions Auxiliary modules Lorcon (802.11 packet injection), fuzzing, various scanners, DoS tools Injection into running processes (meterpreter payload) Executed into memory, never touches the disk Create packaged executable payloads (runme.exe) Pivoting Use compromised host to attack hosts on internal network IDS/IPS evasion options
8. Metasploit autopwn Automated exploit module Requires a database MySQL, Sqlite, Postgres Some pre-configuration required RubyGems, active record (part of ruby on rails) Database configuration Ability to import vulnerability data Nessus NBE files, Nmap XML output Run Nmap from the module and puts results in the database Launches exploits based on ports, services or vulnerabilities from imported data
9. Limitations of Metasploit Majority of exploits are for Windows Detailed logging not default, need to setup Local exploits only start the web server locally Need to send email on your own autopwn may be difficult to configure correctly No automated reporting in autopwn Database can be queried for vulnerability data Basic “bind shell” only option for payload in autopwn Large amounts of import data slows exploits Module needs tuning...hopefully fixed in future versions
