Residential Proxies Unmasked: Navigating the Hidden Threat

Join us at the second OWASP Sydney event featuring a talk by Adam Cassar from [Peakhour.io](http://peakhour.io/) who will delve into the world of residential proxies. In this talk, Adam will dive into residential proxies, tools that allow for requests from residential IP addresses. He'll clarify what these proxies are, who relies on them, and the possibilities they unlock. Additionally, he'll go over the process of how these large-scale proxy networks come to life.

Adam will discuss the potential implications of these services on IP threat intelligence, the complications of carrier-grade NAT, and questions our reliance on geo-IP databases. He'll also shed light on how your internet use at home, school, or work might be effected by these services.

Finally, Adam will touch on ongoing legal cases involving these services and reveal that some state actors are setting up their own proxy networks for data extraction purposes. The goal is to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of residential proxies, enabling you to make informed decisions within the field of internet security.
