2023-12-09 –, Workshop Room 4
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the first step to secure or penetrate any network is reconnaissance. A poorly executed recon phase can leave you blindsided, either missing critical vulnerabilities or wasting time on irrelevant leads. This 90-minute workshop is designed to give you the tools and techniques you need for an effective reconnaissance strategy, using a real-world target for your learning.
What You Will Learn:
Asset Discovery: Gain insights into different methods for identifying the critical assets of an organization, from publicly accessible host to internal assets.
Attack Surface Mapping: Learn how to extend the attack surface by uncovering additional leads that could give you a significant advantage.
Content Discovery: Master the art of discovering exploitable assets or endpoints by scanning through OSINT sources, scrapping web archives, GitHub and more.
Key Takeaways:
Strategic Approaches to Reconnaissance: Not all reconnaissance techniques are created equal. Learn how to choose the right approach for the right problem.
Real-World Application: Practice what you learn in a controlled environment using a real-world target as your playground.
Operational Efficiency: Improve the effectiveness of your reconnaissance, saving time and resources in your future engagements.
Who Should Attend:
This workshop is ideal for security researchers, penetration testers, and network administrators interested in understanding the crucial first phase of any security assessment or engagement.
Pre-requisites:
Basic knowledge of cybersecurity concepts and common tools used in reconnaissance is recommended but not mandatory.
