Friends, Romans...

So I just got back from Ekoparty, in Argentina. Ekoparty has great technical content - much of which I listened to through a translator service they had (which was surprisingly effective). Of course, sometimes the interesting talks are not technical at all (and, luckily for me, in English), as is the case with Grugq's OPSEC for Hackers <http://www.slideshare.net/grugq/opsec-for-hackers> talk. There are a lot of things I don't agree with in his talk, of course. I have this talk coming up in Ottowa <http://www.countermeasure2012.com/>in October in which I talk about this a little bit, in particular the part where Grugq postulates that hackers are not the apex predator on the Internet (which I assume is classic misdirection on his part?)[1]. My only request for the next Ekoparty is that they should have coffee ALL DAY LONG. The never-ending coffee pot is one of those amazing inventions first seen at INFILTRATE <http://www.infiltratecon.com> but which I hope will spread. :> -dave [1] I also don't agree that you should work alone, and my opinion is that you should log everything. But the "break down what lulzsec did wrong" is a very useful task to take (and one I think he should expand on at length in a post here, perhaps). Perhaps comparing it to the Flame team <http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/750/Full_Analysis_of_Flame_s_Command_Control_servers> would be useful? In the end, a study of cyber-OPSEC will eventually lead to people creating a useful Doctrine to govern this sort of thing, which (imho) would demonstrate the underlying strategy that covers this RSA talk <http://seclists.org/dailydave/2012/q2/39>. -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference.
