Today I went to the Ethical Hacking conference with my boss. It was my first
|
|
|
|
|
|
appearance at such conferences, but I hope there will be more. Although we
|
|
|
|
|
|
just started to redesign our IT security infrastructure with a 90% clear goal,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it was nice to hear that everything is vulnerable. I was thinking if we should
|
|
|
|
|
|
sell all our IT equipments, fire all our colleagues (you know, to prevent
|
|
|
|
|
|
social engineering), and move to the South Americas to herd llamas or sheep,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so the only danger would be some lurking pumas or jaguars. Or I simply leave
|
|
|
|
|
|
my old background image on my desktop, from the well-known game, which says:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trust is a weakness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyways, the conference was really nice. We heard about the weaknesses of
|
|
|
|
|
|
Android, Oracle, and even FireWire. They showed some demos about everything,
|
|
|
|
|
|
exploited some free and commercial software with no problem at all. We have
|
|
|
|
|
|
seen how much power the virtualisation admin has (although I think it can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevented, but I’m not sure yet). However, in the end, we could see that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud is secure (or at least it can be, in a few months or so), so I’m not
|
|
|
|
|
|
totally pessimistic. See you next time at Hacktivity!
