👨‍💻 17:20 - 18:00 - Malware Search Engine
Lachlan Korodaj - Cyber Hunt Analyst @ Federal Government
Abstract: This talk explores using Elasticsearch for malware search and analysis, focusing on the integration of machine learning techniques for enhanced attribution. By extracting features from bytecode, we can uncover patterns , or code genes, indicative of certain behaviours and signatures in malware. The talk will demonstrate how these features are indexed and queried using Elasticsearch. Additionally, we will cover the role of machine learning in automating feature extraction and classification. The session offers insights into combining search technologies with machine learning for fun malware analysis!
⏰ 18:00 - 18:10 - Break
👨‍💻 18:10 - 18:50 - Build modern and engaging search experiences with Elasticsearch - Search UI
Kwabena Ansah - Software Engineer @ Elastic
