When Databases Attack: Secure360
Antti and I presented our revised version of “When Databases Attack” at the Secure360 conference in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. We included some new SQL script examples based on some feedback from the BSides Minneapolis crowd. Thanks everyone who provided feedback! Go BSides! Feel free to download it HERE if your interested. Hopefully it provides some examples that people can actually use in their environments. We are also working on a database worm that communicates with a bot controller that leverages a number of the trust relationships we cover in “When Databases Attack”. We have included a few screen shots of the front end in the new slide deck. We also submitted it as a presentation for DEF CON 19 so wish us luck!
