Bestsellers in the Underground Economy - Measuring Malware Popularity by Forum
Winnona DeSombre, Threat Intelligence Researcher at Recorded Future
While you can patch against malware infecting your tech stack or targeting your competitors, what about malware that hasn't been in the news? This presentation will cover what malware and tools are popular among underground forum members based on prevalence in forum ads, how malware presence differs between forums, and why understanding that difference matters.
Winnona DeSombre (Twitter: @__winn) is an Asia Pacific threat intelligence researcher at Recorded Future, focusing on Chinese underground hacking communities and East Asian cyber espionage campaigns. She was recently featured in Threatcare's "Tribe of Hackers" book, containing career advice from some of the world's best information security professionals.
Phishing Freakonomics
Russell Butturini
This presentation is the story of the success and failures of building a security awareness program at a Top 20 CPA firm, and finding "the hidden side" of why users fail phishing exercises (both simulated and not!). The presentation will cover how Elasticsearch was used to correlate awareness training, phishing test, and HR data together, examine real results from this work, and the improvements that were made to improve user awareness and reduce phishing related security incidents.

Solving Crimes with Wireless GeoFencing and Multi-Zone Correlation Analytics
Gleb Esman, Senior Project Manager, Fraud Analytics and Research at Splunk Inc.
The presentation will introduce viewer to geofencing - the technique successfully used by law enforcement agencies to pinpoint suspects in an array of anonymous metadata coming from wireless devices. The presentation will teach viewer how to build such system from scratch using freely downloadable analytical tools. Different ways to visually define GeoFencing zones and investigation constraints will be explained. Samples of working scripts, search queries, data formats and working dashboard layouts will be provided.

StegoAugmented Malware
Mike Raggo, CSO at 802 Secure
Chet Hosmer, Owner of Python Forensics
As adversaries look for new methods of creating malware, steganography has seen a resurgence. In this session, we'll review this black art and uncover recent steganographic malware weaponizing techniques. We'll cover techniques that include file and image embedding techniques invisible to malware and intrusion detection systems, methods of exploiting weak networking protocols for covert communications, mischievous IoT devices, and cloud data hiding methods. But we don't stop there, our organic research has uncovered numerous other ways in which malware could be embedded in an effort to prepare threat researchers with the knowledge to improve their tools and fortify their networks.

Wi-Fi Threat Modelling and Monitoring (WiNT)
Besim Altinok, Barikat Internet Security
Can Kurnaz, Senior Cybersecurity Consultant at KPMG Netherlands
With the widespread use of wireless Internet access, we see that the use of portable technologies is rapidly increasing. Increasing public networks and facilitating access to these networks have attracted the attention of attackers. Due to easy availability of mature honeypot creation tools, this attack is a slam dunk for even the most novice of Wi-Fi attackers. Enterprise security products have tried but failed to solve this problem with rule and lockdown based approaches. In this talk, we are going to tell a story experienced about Wi-Fi network attackers. We will practically demonstrate how using new detection and deception techniques we can make Wi-Fi clients and environmentally secure.
Besim Altinok (Twitter: @AltnokBesim) has been researching Wi-Fi security for over a decade. He created WiPi-Hunter project against Wi-Fi hackers. He is the author of a book on Wi-Fi security. Besim's work on wireless security has been published in ArkaKapi Magazine and others. He has also spoken at top conferences including BlackHat Europe, ASIA, Defcon, and others. Besim ALTINOK works currently at BARIKAT Internet Security in Turkey. Besim also founded Pentester Training project.
