I attended the first ever DojoSec minicon tonight, put on free of charge by Sun Tzu Data. The idea behind DojoSec is to have top-notch information security presentations come to our local area for one night each month. It’s kind of like bringing a small part of a security conference to your backyard.
Both of tonight’s talks were very good. The first one was a technical discussion about how skilled intruders expand their accesses into corporate (or government) networks, and how they maintain access even after being discovered. A lot of information was presented on how to use a more effective incident response procedure, especially focusing on how to accurate gauge the scope of an intrusion. The speakers (Chris Daywalt and Eoghan Casey) were knowledgeable and engaging.
The second presenter was Johnny Long, and he was as entertaining as always – even at 9:30 pm. Of course, I’ve already seen his No-Tech Hacking talk a couple of times, so it wasn’t exactly full of surprises for me. I would say he should update the slides and the examples he uses, but I think all his spare time goes to Hackers for Charity, which he runs.
Overall, it was a great event, especially considering it was the first one ever. I hope it will continue to attract high quality speakers and grow in attendance.
