# Presentation
Title: Acquiring Malicious Browser Extension Samples on a Shoestring Budget
We'll explore how to acquire a set of malicious browser extension samples without needing enterprise-grade resources. Using only free resources and basic cryptanalysis techniques, we'll walk through how to pivot from a known indicator, decrypt obfuscated payloads, and trace newer samples in the hope of uncovering evolving variants of the malicious browser extension.
# Speaker: Pepe Berba
