Practical Protocol Practice

There are countless networking protocols out in the world – so much that it’s often hard to keep track of! In this segment, Practical Protocol Practice, we take a look at a handful of ports and talk about them! This week will cover Unencrypted vs Encrypted protocols.

It is recommended to have a packet sniffer (i.e. Wireshark) and a Linux VM that you can connect to Telnet, SSH, FTP and SFTP ready.

Defense Evasion: Endpoint Detection & Response

Mature organizations are deploying EDR solutions within their environments; both at scale and in high velocity. While not a replacement to traditional AV, these solutions are far more effective at providing situational awareness and endpoint visibility. EDR often presents material barriers to offensive operators; with increased focus on OPSEC and dynamic detection logic driving behavioural uncertainty. We will analyze the anatomy of EDR implementations and introduce both pragmatic and conceptual approaches to successfully evading these solutions within the context of real-world breach simulation exercises.

NB: This segment will not be recorded/uploaded/streamed to YouTube. So, make sure you tune in live!!

Can’t wait to see @everyone all there!!

About Sylvain

Sylvain graduated from the ISS program in 2018. Shortly after graduating, he was hired at Bell where he worked as a threat hunter for two and a half years. He has recently transitioned to trading options as his main source of income. He now wishes to share what he has learned on his journey to financial freedom, with the hope that others would engage in the world of personal finance.

From Hacking Finance to Hacking your Finances

Sylvain will be presenting his intro to investing and personal finance talk. The goal is to encourage people to begin engaging in the world of personal finance, by showing the importance of starting ASAP, and a few common investing strategies and principals. Please note, this is not the talk where you learn to YOLO your life savings on digital assets, nor is it a talk on options/day trading. Rather, this talk is meant to be a primer into investing in your financial future.

We are all super excited, we can’t wait to see you all there and learn how to save that money!
