Mark your calendars and come join your friends in the CAE community for a Tech Talk. We are a warm group that shares technical knowledge. CAE Tech Talks are free and conducted live in real-time over the Internet, so no travel is required. You can attend from just about anywhere (office, home, etc.) Capitol Technology University (CTU) hosts the presentations using their online delivery platform (Adobe Connect) which employs slides, VOIP, and chat for live interaction. Just log in as “Guest” and enjoy the presentation(s).

Description:
SSL/TLS is by no means the only way to secure Web and email communications on the Internet, but millions of people use it every day, protecting credit card numbers, online banking sessions, emails, and more. For normal users, seeing the lock icon and "https" in URLs provides confidence that SSL/TLS is keeping us safe. But in reality how safe is it? In this presentation, we will build a physical Lab, implement remote access SSL, and demonstrate what is really happening on the back end of our laptop and the bank account server.

Title/Topic: Web Attack Threat Analysis - Experiences with Glastopf honeypot deployment
Audience Skill Level: Beginner and Intermediate

Description:
We investigate the use of honeypot for collection and analysis of security cyber threats. Due to their popularity, we target web-based attacks in this work. Glastopf is a well-known web-based honeypot that exposes an attack surface with a few thousand vulnerabilities, which fall into multiple categories including Remote File Inclusion, Local File Inclusion and SQL injection. We deployed Glastopf on a Comcast business network for over a month, we collected a few thousands attacks and more than 80,000 malicious URLs from almost every corner of the world. In this presentation, we share our findings and present through analysis of type of attacks, where these attacks are coming from, and dig deeper into attacker behavior.
