2 x Talks - Hacking a Network & 2FA/MFA Authentication - The False Perception

*** free pizza update - Dell have graciously offered to provide free pizza for the event***

We have two excellent, complimentary talks for you this Thursday which will be held in the Dell EMC offices in City Gate in Mahon.

We will kick off with "An Insider's Guide to Hacking Your Network" by Mark O'Sullivan who is travelling down from the bigger smoke to talk for us. Next up are Cork natives and OWASP Cork leads, John O Riordan and Darragh Duffy with their talk on authentication....anyone want to hack a dual factor protected identity?

We are delighted to have Dell EMC host this talk in their offices in Mahon. Dell are providing free pizza and drinks. Please RSVP to this meetup if you are attending.

Talk 1 - An Insider's Guide to Hacking Your Network
During this talk Mark will go into detail about the steps attackers take to exploit vulnerability on the network

Speaker - Mark O'Sullivan - Penetration Testing, Cyber Risk @ Deloitte
Mark has significant experience in cyber security and holds industry leading security testing certificates including the OSCP. He has a keen interest in all areas of cyber security, and has specialised in penetration testing and vulnerability management. Mark has managed and conducted a wide range of penetration tests against a diverse range of platforms including web, mobile, network and IoT.

Talk 2 - Multi Factor Authentication - the false perception
John and Darragh will talk about some of the miss conceptions with 2FA/2SV/MFA as the perfect mechanism to protect our identities. They will discuss some of these additional authentication factor mechanisms (SMS tokens, One Time Passcodes etc.) and if they are really a second factor. They will highlight the major weakness with how we perceive and use 2FA/MFA mechanisms. They will demonstrate how you can exploit this weakness, bypassing the protection we believe 2FA/MFA offers us. They will finish up by introducing the current solution to this MFA weakness, FIDO2, which is a true MFA mechanism but not yet widely adopted.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
