DCMeetup1603 - Beyond Automated Testing & Tools
Details
Please join us Tuesday, February 9th, 2016 as we discuss how to go beyond automated testing. We’ll walk through several vulnerabilities identified during external penetration tests, discussing how they were found and then exploited to demonstrate the associated risk. This discussion will also cover creative ways to enumerate services to help when scoping your testing.
Are you interested in sharpening your external testing skills?Want to learn some tips and tricks to save time during an assessment? Want to learn how to go beyond your automated tools?
Some topics to be discussed include: Common vulnerabilities missed by automated tools, Burp Suite Pro, web shells, OSINT, the Shodan API, a creative testing mindset, useful training resources, and ways to save time using Python.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
