Black Hat USA 2007 Briefings and Training
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas • July 28-29 (Weekend) & July 30-31 (Weekday)

Attacktecs™ Attack Techniques used to exploit network infrastructure, servers, databases and other services with the intent of stealing or destroying intellectual property and/or to deny users and clients legitimate access.

Defentecs™ Defense Techniques and implementation methods used to defend against the latest Attacktecs..

This class will cover a wide variety of the publicly-available exploit tools and how they can be used specifically against a Cisco infrastructure. A majority of the class time will be spent in practical labs. Therefore, a certain level of Cisco expertise will be expected. The training will also cover the possible defenses against these attacks.

Students will be using 2600 series routers, and 2950T switches for their labs. The lab core will consist of 3750s, 2800s, and servers of various flavors. Students will be required to bring their own laptops to attach to the labs (with appropriate caution). Students must have a working serial port and terminal emulator. This class will focus on internal infrastructure vulnerabilities and will not be covering firewalls, VPN concentrators, or IPS tools.

Here is a list of some of the topics that will be covered:

• Exploiting Cisco Defaults
• Breaking Password nabbing
• Attacking LAN Switches
• VLAN hopping and 802.1Q issues
• Root bridge takeovers
• HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP attacks
• Routing Protocol manipulation
• Advanced tunneling attacks
• Forensics and Anti-Forensics
• Going above and beyond best practices
