After a short break, our good friend of the club – Lee Kagan will be giving us an awesome presentation on OSX (Apple’s OS) Exploitation. I know I’m excited about this talk! 

An Introduction to OSX Exploitation 

As more Apple products become integrated into the modern environment, OSX is finally getting the offensive attention it deserves. As a result, it’s becoming critical for attackers and defenders to understand the attack surface as well as the unique challenges this OSX poses. 

This talk will walk through the basics of attacking OSX. What are Plists? Are DyLibs meaningful? Does ActiveDirectory work with Macs? What the heck is JamF? 

Lee will cover all of these and more in this introduction to OSX exploitation. 

Lee Kagan

Lee started in the IT and security world in 2010 in Toronto, Canada. When Lee isn’t tip-toeing through enterprise’s Active Directory environments he’s running the DerbyCon Toronto Community Chapter, the Canadian Collegiate Cyber Exercise (C3X), and as an instructor teaching Canadian offensive and defensive professionals ways to up their game. Lee has spoken at multiple events and conferences such as BSides and SecTor. In his spare time, Lee is an executive chef at a restaurant in his mind. 

Lee specializes in offensive RnD with a focus on ActiveDirectory and defensive measures evasion techniques, malware development in C#/C++, C2 design and management.

Lee is the practice lead for Adversarial Collaboration (purple team) at Lares. Prior to Lares, Lee was the Sr. offensive RnD specialist at Symantec.

The Legacy Box: Hacking SMB by Cem, Nashad, & Louai
Hack The Box is an online platform used by InfoSec professionals and enthusiasts to test and advance penetration testing and cybersecurity skills. In this portion, your incredible club execs Nash and Cem will be walking you through the whole exploitation process from initial access to full compromise.

Many of the machines on HTB can be solved with some research and trial & error. However, do you really know whats going on under all the scripts and shells? For all the blue teamers and reverse engineers amongst you, good old Louai will be walking you through a more in-depth overview of the exploits used, and how to defend against them.

We hope you join us this THURSDAY for this spectacular ISSessions!
