Jac0byterebel is not your typical social engineering presenter. Out goes the snake oil sale of analysing the minutia of pop psychology and trying to squeeze out real answers to the questions asked during a real social engineering attack. In comes hard hitting accounts of social engineering attacks drawn from real sources but anonymised to protect the pwned. Deano, the ‘hypothetical’ bad-guy, has hacked and social engineered his way to cash in his pocket and no cash in your pocket, creating havoc along the way. But what if Deano, a criminal social engineer, really upped his game? This talk will see Deano up the stakes and deliver the kind of aggressive attack you have all lived in fear of. No longer a phone call to get your credentials, or a rogue e-mail to direct you to a fake website, this time its personal and Deano is looking to do you REAL damage. Drawing on real data from anonymised sources, from the account given of this attack, attendees of the talk will see that a real social engineer doesn’t once pick up a psychology textbook. Deano will instead pose you a question - “What if Joe Bloggs on the street had access to the kind of skills and instructions to destroy all my data?” When you’ve recovered from that question, ask yourself this - “What if Deano could destroy my business without anyone realising it had been attacked?” Live in fear of Hactivism? You won’t sleep at night after meeting Deano. If you want an hour of being told that ‘looking to the right makes you easier to social engineer’, go to another talk. If you want to see how the real bad guy operates, and talk about how to defend against him, then I look forward to seeing you there..
