Summary

Architecture and Background

(Original music copyrighted hollaback girl (bananas) by No Doubt, was replaced) Owning One to Rule Them All Dave Kennedy Chief Security Officer Dave DeSimone Manager, Information Security As penetration testers, we often try to impact an organization as efficient and effective as we can to simulate an attack on an organization.

That's it, one system. It's all you need, it's in every company, and as soon as you compromise it, the rest fall (no not a domain controller).

Exploitation and Demonstrations

This presentation will cover a recent penetration test where I came up with a unique avenue to getting over 13,000 shells in just a few minutes by popping one server. I'll be releasing some custom tools to make this simplistic and automate the majority of what was used on this attack.

Remediation and Defensive Strategies

Let's pop a box. Full Bios available here:
