Bold Statements
A happy new year to everybody!
At Troopers18 there will be a new special track on Microsoft Active Directory and its security aspects, similar to the SAP security track which we established some years ago. The AD security track will feature, amongst others, the following talks.

Continue readingTROOPERS17 was unlike any TROOPERS we had known before. Everything just seemed bolder, better, and beyond our expectations. From surprise speakers like the grugq (do you have a follow-up talk for #TR18 by the way?) to new speakers who are now TROOPERS family, TROOPERS17 is one for the history books!
If you were there you might be wondering to yourself, how could they possibly top it (and if you were not there check out this video from TR17)? Well, I am not going to lie, it will be a challenge. However, the high quality of talk and training submissions for this year have us feeling pretty positive about making #TR18 the “best year ever”!
With that being said I am happy to introduce the first official 5 talks of TROOPERS18!

Continue readingWe are super excited for TROOPERS18 (March 12-16th, 2018) as are many of you! We even have this great saying that “after TROOPERS is before TROOPERS”, which means we spend a lot of time looking through feedback from attendees, speakers/trainers, and our own Crew for ways to not only top what we’ve done in the years before, but also how to simply make it better for everyone involved. Looking around at our Crew we realized how many have either attended TROOPERS or other conferences as students. We heard from them, as well as other students, how life changing it was to be able, as a student, to attend an IT-Security conference. How they got to meet a speaker whose work they’d read about in class. How people felt even more a part of the community they were studying hard to belong to. Continue reading “TROOPERS for Students!”
Continue readingGiven the CfP for Black Hat US in Vegas ends in a few days – and as apparently some people have already started to think about their TR18 submissions – I’ll quickly provide some loose recommendations on how to write a submission here. There’s quite some reasonable advice out there already (the BH CfP site lists this and this which you should both read as well) but some of you might find it useful to get (yet) another perspective.

Continue readingThe event of the events is getting closer and again, we are very optimistic to have a lot of awesome trainings, talks, evening events, and discussions. But we again will also have some “features” and gimmicks for those of you who would like to play with new, old, or just interesting technologies. As you might remember, since some years one of these features is and again will be our own GSM Network. As we are improving our setup from year to year, this time we’d like to give you the chance to actively participate with ideas and your own services.

Continue readingHi there,
Like in recent years the popular Hacking 101 workshop will take place on TROOPERS17, too! The workshop will give attendees an insight into the hacking techniques required for penetration testing. These techniques will cover various topics:
…and more!

Continue readingI am looking forward to our newly introduced dedicated Forensic Computing Training at TR17!
We will start the first day with a detailed background briefing about Forensic Computing as a Forensic Science, Digital Evidence, and the Chain of Custody. The rest of the workshop we will follow the Order of Volatility starting with the analysis of persistent storage using file system internals and carving, as well as RAID reassembly with lots of hands-on case studies using open source tools. As a next step, we will smell the smoking gun in live forensics exercises. Depending on your preferences we will then dig a bit into memory forensics and network forensics.

This is a guest blog written by Jean-Philippe Aumasson & Philipp Jovanovic about their upcoming TROOPERS17 training: Crypto attacks and defenses.
The 1-day training from last TROOPERS has become a 2-day training, featuring even more real-world attacks and defenses as well as new hands-on sessions! We’ll teach you, step by step, how to spot and exploit crypto vulnerabilities, how to use the strongest forms of state-of-the-art cryptography to secure modern systems (like IoT or mobile applications), and bring you up to speed on the latest and greatest developments in the world of cryptography, such as TLS 1.3, blockchains, and post-quantum crypto.

There are only two and a half months left, so I’d like to publish the next two talks for TelcoSecDay 2017, taking place at 21st of March in Heidelberg. Both talks are about the security of an upcoming technology which importance will raise in near future: 5G Networks.

We had to make some tough choices regarding our TROOPERS17 Main Conference Agenda. Thank you again to everyone for submitting! The full agenda will be published later this week, but for now here are the next round of talks!
