Today I want to give you a little teaser about my upcoming talk at the IPv6 Security Summit about First-Hop-Security on HP devices. In the past I presented on about First-Hop-Security in the Cisco realm and in virtualized environments. Until recently, Cisco was mostly the only vendor who had a sufficient implementation of various IPv6 security features on their access-layer switches, but HP closed the gap considerably and it’s time to have an in-depth look at their implementation of those features.
some of you may have seen my last blog post about the preparation of the Troopers network. Today I want to give you a little teaser on what to expect for the talk I will present during the IPv6 Security Summit. As the title implies, it’s not only about building a secure IPv6 WiFi, but also a reliable one. One might think that there aren’t many differences in comparison to IPv4, but the heavy reliance on multicast of IPv6 does have implications for Wi-Fi networks in general.

I am currently preparing the Troopers network in a lab environment to ensure that we all will have a smooth Wi-Fi experience during Troopers. I wanted to spice things up a little bit for the Wi-Fi deployment (more on that in a following blogpost) and get rid of IPv4 wherever possible. Our Wi-Fi infrastructure consists of typical Cisco Access Points (1602) and a 2504 Wireless LAN Controller. Beginning with WLC image 8.0 it is finally supported to establish the CAPWAP tunnel between the AP and the WLC over IPv6, which is awesome and I wanted to implement it right away.

I am very happy to announce the second round of talks for the TelcoSecDay 2016. As mentioned in my previous post it will take place on March 15th. All invitations should be out by now; if you think you can contribute to the group and you are willing to join us – please let me know (hschmidt@ernw.de).
In this year’s MSF training we will guide you through the typical steps of the pentest cycle: information gathering, attacking and looting your targets. For each step, demos and exercises will help you deepen and test your newly acquired knowledge. In addition to the typical penetration-test scenarios you will also learn several advanced aspects of the framework such as: how writing your own metasploit modules works, how to export payloads and make them undetected. With a final exercise each day you can finally challenge yourself and apply what you have learned!
Be prepared with a Virtualbox installation and a notebook. If you prefer, you can install MSF on your laptop beforehand and make yourself familiar with it. As a special bonus, MSF is typically one of the tools always summoned during the infamous PacketWars!
This year’s Hacking 101 workshop at TROOPERS16 will give attendees an insight into the hacking techniques required for penetration testing. These techniques will cover various topics like information gathering, network mapping, vulnerability scanning, web application hacking, low-level exploitation and more.
During this workshop you will learn, step by step, a testing methodology that is applicable to the majority of scenarios. So imagine you have to assess the security of a system running on the Internet. How would you start? First, you need a good understanding about the target, including running services or related systems. Just scanning an IP will most likely not reveal a lot of information about the system. The gathered information may help you to identify communication relations of services that could include vulnerabilities. A brief understanding of the target and it’s related systems/services/applications will make scanning and identifying vulnerabilities a lot easier and more effective. Then, the last step will be the exploitation of the identified vulnerabilities, with the ultimate aim to get access to the target system and pivot to other, probably internal, systems and resources.
So if you are interested in learning these techniques and methodologies, join us at the TROOPERS16 Hacking 101 training! Attendees should have a brief understanding of TCP/IP networking and should be familiar with command lines on Linux systems. Also, being familiar with a programming/scripting language is considered useful.
Dear all,
This year the TelcoSecDay will take place on March 15th. For those of you who does not know about: the TelcoSecDay it is a sub-event of Troopers bringing together researchers, vendors and practitioners from the telecommunication / mobile security field.

Happy 2016 everyone! We are exactly 2 months away from the start of TROOPERS16!! Speakers and Trainers across the globe are polishing (or in some cases creating) their PowerPoints to use while delivering their highly technical and entertaining talks. While we here at TR HQ are busy tweaking orders, creating challenges to boggle the mind and test your skills, and of course working on some top secret fun. 😉
