The first talk after the keynote on day 2 of TROOPERS was from Christopher
Truncer about passive intelligence gathering and the analytics of that.
Christopher Truncer (@ChrisTruncer) is a red teamer with Mandiant. He is a
co-founder and current developer of the Veil-Framework, a project aimed to
bridge the gap between advanced red team and penetration testing toolsets.
His talk is mainly about defending a network from different threats by
collecting and analyzing metadata from different sources.
At the second day of the TROOPERS16 conference an interesting talk about
Advanced Persistent Threats took place from Marion Marschalek and Raphaël Vinot.
Marion Marschalek is a Security Researcher, focusing on the analysis of emerging
threats and exploring novel methods of threat detection. Marion started her
career within the anti-virus industry and also worked on advanced threat
protection systems where she built a thorough understanding of how threats and
protection systems work and how both occasionally fail.
Last week, on the 27th-28th I attended a nice wireless conference in berlin, the
WLPC (Wireless LAN Pros Conference). You can visit their website at
http://berlin2015.wlanprosconference.com.
This conference is a community-driven conference from wireless professionals
with focus on typical topics that come up when you are planning or running large
wireless networks. This is a mainly Twitter based community, you can see some
Tweets with hashtags #WLPC for example. There were also some interesting talks
about future networks, for example Marko Tisler gave a talk about wireless LAN
and SDN and what we can expect and what SDN will not solve for wireless
networks.
