Posted on October 19, 2022 By isac

Insert catch phrase about the rest of the story...

As always, schedule exact times, order, frequency, position, etc. of the talks are subject to change.

Note: There is no scheduled lunch break. There will be food on-site for several hours (more on that later) so plan strategically.

Full talk descriptions and speaker bios are posted here.

BSidesDFW 2022 Training Day, The Real Deal

Posted on October 17, 2022 By isac

We have the trainings! It is with great honor and privilege that we can present to you the following sessions:

Threat Modeling for Everyone

  • Instructor: @Ell_o_Punk
  • Sponsor: Grimm Cyber / @GRIMMCyber Threat modeling is a critical aspect of secure application development and a major part of the DevOps methodology's "Plan" phase. This course will familiarize individuals with the predominant Threat modeling frameworks using hands-on activities in order to drive home the importance of performing Threat Modeling very early in the DevOps process, allowing teams to avoid costly patching or even redevelopment later in an application's life cycle.

Python Code Reading

  • Instructor: @count3rmeasure Reading computer languages, "code", is different than reading traditional written languages and different from writing the code originally. Ask any developer to review their own work from a year before. This class attempts to empower the student to better find specific pieces of code, navigate large codebases, and enable them to contextualize the code they are reading in medium to large code bases.

Introduction to Kali Linux

  • Instructor: Madhat / @unspecific A fast paced introduction to the Linux operating system. Learn to understand how Linux environments are most commonly set up. Learn how to use the command line to explore the system, manipulate files, install/upgrade applications, and more.

Introduction to Nmap

  • Instructor: Madhat / @unspecific Have you heard of Nmap but don't really know where to start? Maybe you have run a few scans but don't feel like you know what you are doing? Have you been told Nmap is the tool you need, but you don't understand how or why? Introduction to Nmap is here to help you. We will start from the installation, to the first run of Nmap, to more complex scans, output, fingerprinting, Nmap scripts, and more.

Exploring Wireless Networks with Wireshark

  • Instructor: Madhat / @unspecific This introduction to Wireshark, the powerful protocol analyzer, will explain the basics of the User Interface (UI), then work on a real time example of monitoring a WiFi network, including decrypting the packets. This class will also utilize a few command line tools, such as airmon-ng and airodump-ng. If you do not have a WiFi card that can be used in monitor mode, you will still be able to follow along via a packet capture provided.

    Training seats are limited, please refund your training ticket if you are unable to commit the time. As a reminder, training day is on Friday 04 Nov 2022, the day before the main conference.
