Project Skylab 1.0: Helping You Get Your Cloud On

No ratings

Presented at BruCON 2010 by

Got Cloud? Cloud Computing and Security is a lot like sex: everyone is talking about it, but few people are getting any. Informal surveys of security geeks at infosec cons reveals that 90% of attendees haven't even got to first base (aka spinning up a virtual machine at a public cloud provider). This talk will help you "get your cloud on" for something that you might actually find useful. Whether you're a penetration tester seeking a place for target practice, a sysadmin looking to test new tools or a vulnerability researcher, you'll learn how to create an on-demand, cloud based, security test lab with no hardware, for significantly less than the cost of a first date. Kicked off in March at SecureCloud 2010 in Barcelona, the Skylab project will come to fruition just in time for Brucon. Fun times ahead! (for credit card holders).
