Giving you the ICK - Industrial Cyber Knowledge for n00bs (trans-tech-tent)

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 12:35:00 +0100

Cyber attacks have been increasing rapidly both in frequency and sophistication over the past 2 decades. While many industries are focused on protecting their IT assets, Operational Technologies (OT) is often an overlooked aspect of protecting a business. I will be discussing the rise of OT attacks, the impact they have on, and steps that companies/governments are taking to combat this threat. about this event: https://c3voc.de

Risky Business - using risk-based analysis to detect bad things (trans-tech-tent)

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 12:00:00 +0100

Risk-Based Analysis / Alerting is a growing approach for defensive teams and SOCs to help cut down on noise and detect bad things happening from existing data and search volumes. As vendor-neutrally as possible, this talk will walk through the concept, why it's good, what the organisational and technical weaknesses of implementations are, and how it's going to grow in 2023/24. about this event: https://c3voc.de

it's borked - programming was a mistake (trans-tech-tent)

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 17:55:00 +0100

So we made sand that's able to do things, but to tell it to do more things we create some electricity and it makes the sand go brrrr? What could go wrong? It turns out that everyone designed programming languages to be ""the best"", so we don't need more than one, right? ... Oh. Well there's logical reasons for one over the other at least? ... Oh? At least most have a common set of features that work flawles.... you get the point. This talk is a (learned) shitpost, that goes over nitpicks I have with a variety of programming languages, like: - why does Python have a chunk size for content in HTTP requests that's arbitrarily 10kB? - why did Rust never bother to handle JSON internally? - why is JavaScript? or by extension WTF JSFUCK! - why does PHP have 3 semantic styles in it's code? - why is Java's Optional syntax such garbage? Why use esoteric languages, when we have esoteric languages at home! (This talk is in part inspired by ""Wat"", a lightning talk by Gary Bernhardt at Pycon 2014, but won't aim to replicate its style or the content discussed.) about this event: https://c3voc.de

Ever wondered what's inside the barcode on your mobile train ticket? Wondered why train companies are so keen for you to ditch your paper one and switch over to mobile tickets? This talk will answer these and other questions, in a brief overview of how I reverse engineered the RSP6 standard used for mobile rail ticketing in the UK, and why you might want to think twice before using mobile tickets if you're especially privacy-conscious. about this event: https://c3voc.de
