Chapter Meeting: The Anatomy of an Attack

Details

Hi all,

Our next chapter meeting is on October 10th and will be delivered by Owen Pendlebury.

Join us for some AppSec talk and pizza.

In what promises to be an interesting evening, Owen is going to talk to us about the anatomy of an attack:

Stories of organisations getting hacked are becoming so frequent that it would be easy to believe that there’s no real way to avoid being the next target. I will outline what we know, what incident data tells us and what the typical motive is behind these hacks. Furthermore, I will walk you through the three stages of an attack (footprinting, scanning and exploitation) and discuss some recent hacks and what we can learn from them.

Afterwards ...

We might have a few sneaky pints afterwards, and you are all welcome to join us for a chat about all things AppSec.

We are having the talks upstairs in the Roundy Bar on Castle Street so we will stay on there.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
