Why is it that the Hackers and Penetration Testers get to have all of the “sexy” fun? In this presentation we will cover some cool tricks to confuse, block or mislead attackers. Penetration testers may be angered during this presentation as we will describe how to make their lives difficult. The term “hacking back” will be used in the same sentence as “legally” and “naked”. The goal being to start a conversation on how to make defenses actually work and and provide a range of options to security professionals including annoyance, attribution, and getting shell on an attackers box.
