Presentation: The Truman Show: Real-world application attacks instead of canned demos
In this presentation, Kevin Johnson of Secure Ideas will walk attendees through various scenarios used in penetration testing of applications. These demonstrations will use real attacks and discuss how a penetration tester views applications. This talk will explain the mindset of an attacker, using actual applications as well as demonstration apps to allow for exploitation.
