Carlos Perez a.k.a. Dark 0perator

>Talk Title: Operating in the Shadows
>Description:
>The presentation covers what are the most common artifacts that are left during a pentest, how to reduce this number and operate in a way to make it harder to detect the presence of the pentester and reduce the amount of information left on the target host by using Meterpreter and it's capabilities.

Joshua Perrymon CEO, PacketFocus



>Talk Title: Attacking outside the Box

>Description: Modern attackers are not relying on network exploits or even application hacking to gain access to your digital assets. As technical defenses increase in complexity and efficiency, attackers are moving into other areas such as smartphones, email hacking, social engineering, onsite theft, and similar targeted methods. This talk will cover what the bad guys are doing, and how you can minimize the chance of a successful attack through proactive security.



Brian Martin and Keith Pachulski
