I’m speaking at the Kentuckiana ISSA meeting on June 4th in Louisville, KY.
The topic is “Then What Happened…Stories and Lessons in Incident Response”
Dive into recent attack packet analysis with Chris Sanders to reveal the dirty truth about recently investigated incidents.
Learn key factors in how exploits were detected, the analysis method used to determine sources…
You will also see methods used to determine the severity level of exploits and the power they may really have in your environment…
I’ll be covering some exciting things including some of the fundamental skills for intrusion analysts, tips for building your incident handling team, “packet math”, and analysis of recent attacks including a newly release 0-day.
Look forward to seeing you there! For more information including directions, check here http://www.issa-kentuckiana.org/.
I attended the Kentuckiana ISSA Louisville InfoSec conference on the 8th of this month and I wanted to be sure and put something up about what a great event it was.
I participated in the CTF event that was put together by Adrian “Irongeek” Crenshaw (http://www.irongeek.com and @irongeek_adc). This is only the second CTF I’ve participated in (the first being the SANS Sec 504 CTF in San Diego) and I was really pleased with it.
You can view a write up and a brief video on the technical details of the CTF here: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/louisville-infosec-ctf-2009.
My team ended up coming in fourth. The winning team was led by Dave Kennedy (http://securestate.blogspot.com/) who won by a pretty good margin, and the second, third, and fourth place teams all finished within about ten minutes or so of each other.
This was the second event I’ve attended that involved the Kentuckiana ISSA and Adrian and I’ve really enjoyed being involved. I think I’ll be joining ISSA in the very near future.
I wasn’t able to attend many of the talks due to being involved with the CTF but my colleagues who did spoke very highly of all of the speakers.
A big thanks to Adrian and the Kentuckiana ISSA for organizing this! I can’t wait until next year!
