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!
