### Talk Title: Against Imperva's wishes, I made 10000 kids

Collecting data from the game of Pokemon Go involves bulk creation of accounts. In order to combat bots and other abusers of the game, a cloud WAF is used to prevent mass account sign-ups. This talk outlines some cheap techniques that can be used to bypass anti-bot measures employed by Imperva and other similar security platforms.

General Info:
CSides Monthly Security Meetups provide an opportunity to listen to and share security research within the Canberra region. The meeting occurs normally on the 2nd Friday of every month. Each meetup consists of 1-2 talks of around 30 mins each. Talks start at 6pm and are followed by some socialising at a local pub. New attendees are welcome, just come along! (There are no entry fees, and no tickets to book) The talks at CSides are technical. CSides welcomes new and interesting speakers to present - the topic will be on a technical or security issue. As a speaker you can be an expert, a student, someone learning a new area or maybe a regular speaker on the conference circuit, but we also love to have new and occasional speakers. Please contact one of the organisers below if you are interested in speaking. You are very welcome to propose running activites other than talks, such as hands-on workshops, an infosec quiz or something else relevant to our techie audience!
