Summary

Architecture and Background

GOBBLES Security - Wolves Among Us Wolves Among Us GOBBLES Security members will be giving a presentation called "Wolves Among Us", which will discuss the evil motivations of certain members and organizations of the security industry, the big companies that are underqualified for security and yet reap such incredible revenue for their services, the way the media is uninformed and further intentionally writes incorrect information concerning hackers, and more.

Vulnerability Analysis

Concrete examples will be cited, and then discussion on the greater ramifications of those examples will be held.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

Remediation and Defensive Strategies

GOBBLES Security consists of 17+ members, ranging from the age of 15 to 28.
