Copy of the Whitepaper for this talk is here: DScylla: Because There's no Patch for Human Stupidity Sergio 'flacman' Valderrama Consulting Manager, 2Secure Carlos Alberto Rodriguez Co-Founder, 2Secure When there's no technical vulnerability to exploit, you should try to hack what humans left for you, and believe me, this always works. Scylla provides all the power of what a real audit, intrusion, exclusion and analysis tool needs, giving the possibility of scanning misconfiguration bugs dynamically. Scylla aims to be a better tool for security auditors, extremely fast, designed based on real scenarios, developed by experienced coders and constructed with actual IT work methods.
