“Mirai and IoT Botnet Analysis” SLIDES – PDF FILE

At this year’s RSA security conference in San Francisco, researcher Rob Graham gave a presentation entitled “Mirai and IoT Botnet Analysis.” His talk examined the infamous “Mirai” Internet of Things botnet and shared details on how it operates. Graham also covered technical aspects of the cameras it infects and detailed his own experimentation with Mirai in the wild. He went on to discuss last year’s massive DDoS attacks on DNS provider Dyn, which involved variations of the Mirai IoT botnet.

No official AV video recording of this talk, but the audio and RSAC slides are all you need.

Enjoy!

RSA Security Thunderdome Debate

As the glory of 2016 rolls to an end, I plan to empty my archive of some unreleased recordings which never made it on to any podcasts over the past year.

rsa-2016

I’m starting with this recording from the RSA Conference earlier this year in San Francisco, CA. It features Jen Ellis of Rapid7 moderating a “Security Thunderdome” debate between Rob Graham (Errata Security) and Josh Corman (Atlantic Council). It’s basically a debate about debating. A very spirited breakdown of the anatomy of a debate with a focus on cyber security.

The audio quality isn’t the best, but good enough to follow along. If you listen closely you’ll hear me ask a question from the audience toward the end. Big thanks to RSA, Jen, Rob, and Josh for allowing me to record the session. I hope this “Thunderdome Debate” format will return next year to RSA and possibly expand to at least another hour. Enjoy!
