"Ever run into a crazy configuration and secure setup that you just couldn't break into? It's rare but it happens. As penetration testers we need to think outside of the box and get creative. We are hackers and we need to think like them. This presentation goes over some examples that I've run into during penetration tests that made me get creative and think outside of the box. Often times we get complacent when we can't find MS08-067, the latest and greatest exploit, or a default password. We chalk it up and walk away as if they're secure. Instead, let's fight, work for it, and most importantly, let's pop a box. This presentation will have lot's of demos, tricks that I use during penetration tests, and more."
