Case Studies
Brute Force Attack on Mozilla Firefox
We will be looking at the example of how Mozilla Firefox protected stored passwords on their browsers using weak encryption schemes and how they failed to prioritize patching for close to 9 years.
Singapore’s Cyber Security Masterplan
As Singapore embarks on its digital transformation initiative towards a smart nation and digital economy, the country publishes a snapshot of the cyber landscape in Singapore every year. The government strives to establish safer and more secure cyberspace through its cybersecurity master plan.
Hacking into the Dunkin Donut Reward Programme
We will be using Nmap tools on a sample test system to scan for open Ports, identify those ports which should not be open in a live system & also use brute force hacking attempts to simulate the way in which attackers hacked into the Dunkin Donuts rewards programme.
Exploiting Unpatched Versions of Google Chrome Browser
We will be using the Metasploit tool on a sample Linux system to execute a Linux kernel escalation attack and then explain how these attacks are then simulated by attackers to go after unpatched versions of Google Chrome which enables them to install all kinds of spyware & malware on Android machines (smartphones/laptops) as per their requirement.
Zero Trust Architecture at GitLab
We will be looking at the experience of Kathy Wang (Former CISO of GitLab) and the challenges she faced in securing the IT architecture at her company & how she finally decided to go ahead with a Zero trust architecture for her company.
