# Why JavaScript is more Bad

Javascript is very flexible with how it allows people to come in and create so very quickly. However, this does mean that sometimes things that are built to be helpful can be used for malicious purposes. In this case, we're going slightly down the rabbit hole when it comes to objects, classes and functions surrounding the long-suffering CVE-2019-11358.
Whilst the talk does consist of some JavaScript basics, these are to allow for enough background to show some of the dangers of a single object/function that is available to everything in JavaScript.

# ~6 months of honeypot traffic in ~20 mins
This talk was based around a short project i conducted to look into what kinds of traffic internet connected boxes get hit with every day. From worms to skids ive been hit with just about everything you’d expect and a bit more. I will also be outlining how other infosec students can setup their own machines to gather and dig through similar data.
