As promised from my talk last night on hunting malware with volatility at the Boston Security Meetup Here are the slides.
Hunting Malware With Volatility – Slides
I am still working on the video demo I will upload and post here when it is finished.
Hope you all enjoyed the presentation =) Thanks to Rapid7 for hosting the meetup it was awesome and the conference room was amazing. I want that table =)
Ok it has been a week since DerbyCon and I am still drinking Kentucky Bourbon =)
In all seriousness DerbyCon is one of the best conferences I have been too and it easily goes head to head with DefCon. The talks were awesome and not just repeats of previous talks given at other cons. Plus the people I talked with and met were amazing, friendly, and willing to talk about anything especially bourbon =) To @Rel1k @pure_hate @irongeek well done guys. All the staff made it an awesome con as well. I am going back next year and the year after, well you get the picture. The point is you should have been there =) Don’t miss net years DerbyCon it will be epic. Shout outs to my friend Buffalo Trace and all the cool people I met at DerbyCon.
Over the past couple of months I have been very busy with a new job and school. Originally, I did not think I would be able to make it to Defcon 19. The closer and closer it came to Defcon I felt the need to attend, even after I canceled my original flight and hotel reservations. The week of Defcon I gave in and got a flight to Las Vegas and a hotel room at Bally’s since the rooms at the Rio by then were highly over priced coming in at $364 a night wow, Bally’s was a lot more reasonable at $130 a night. So I got the flight the room all squared away, woke up on Friday morning at 6am to go to work until 5pm head to Logan airport and catch my 7:55pm flight to vegas. I was TIRED…. It was an awesome weekend full of great talks, people, and of course drinking =) Overall, I really enjoyed all the talks I attended however, one stood out for me. It was @iiamit talk about botnets over VOIP, it was incredible. Other than that I took a few pictures while at defcon, to warn you I am not a photographer and don’t take pictures every step I take so I just have a few. On Sunday evening I was at the LV airport waiting for my red-eye back to Boston, and I got word my flight was delayed an hour and a half. I was pissed since I had to go straight back to work once my flight landed, I was hungover, tired, and probably smelled bad by the time I got to work on Monday. I put in my eight hours drove home and went right to sleep for the whole night. Next con on deck is DerbyCon for me and I am very excited about this new conference it looks awesome already =)
Thanks for reading, more posts will be coming soon..
peace..

I just returned from Las Vegas and Defcon 18. The conference this year was awesome, I reconnected with people I met last year as well as met a lot of new attendees. I always love meeting new people who have a passion for hacking and information security. Here are some pictures not the greatest but I was there to learn and have fun, not to be a photographer.

Well it was great, all the speakers and talks, seeing the social-engineer.org CTF contest live, and making some new friends, was awesome. I also came home with money in my pocket, not from gambling but from not gambling =) see you on the flip or next year at Defcon 19
I have been extremely busy for the past couple of months, hence no new posts. I am getting ready to head out to Las Vegas at the end of this month to go to Defcon 18, which I try to make every year. Last year was a blast met a lot of new people and went to some exciting talks as well as visited the bar a lot, what can I say it’s Vegas. I can’t wait to get out of the everyday routine and relax in Vegas for a few days while gaining some exciting and interesting knowledge about the infosec industry. I will be updating the site when I get back with pictures and my experiences while in Vegas and at Defcon. Stay Tuned.
I’M Tired, LOL.
This weekend I participated in the Offensive Security “How Strong is your Fu?” Hacking tournament. It was a incredible challenge with very precise exploits. Overall I loved the challenge I had a lot of fun, and got very frustrated at some points LOL.
Thank you OffSec for the tournament it was great I can’t wait for more to come.
Last Saturday I spent the day at the Security B-Sides Boston event. Overall, it was a good time, with a lot of interesting presentations and talks. I want to say nice job to all of the volunteers, presenters, and coordinators that hosted this event. I cant wait for the next local Boston area event see you all there soon. By the way, Defcon 18 is in a few months and you know I will be there, enjoying the talks and then I will be at a party or the local Riviera hotel bar =) stop by and have a drink.
Security B-sides Boston is happening this Saturday April 24th, 2010.
A few people and I will be attending this event, it is an all day affair form 9am – 7pm. This event is created by and for Information Security Professionals. I can’t wait to attend some of the interesting tracks they are hosting, and networking with other information security professionals within the Boston area. I missed SOURCE Boston, which I really wanted to go to since H.D Moore was presenting at this conference. Too bad work got in the way and I was out of state working at a client site.
Stay tuned for the Security B-Sides Boston review of the event. Should be fun Friends, Beer, and talks about Information Security what could be better.
