Presented at BSides Austin 2018, March 8, 2018, 3:30 p.m. (60 minutes)

We live our lives in a gadget-orientated age which provides convenience that borders on magical. However, these magical times are not always filled with awe-inspiring wizardry, as we very rarely pull back the curtain to reveal what is there. A quick glimpse of the modern world shows us that a wide range of benign tools and situations can be weaponized. Join Aaron Crawford of Insider Security Agency as he leads a discussion about the process of operational security regarding the weaponizing of everyday devices found around the office or at conferences. Learn how common devices and scenarios are weaponized by attackers. Having successfully conducted red team engagements on nearly every continent, Aaron demonstrates that it is easier to think inside the box for the win. At no other time is this more evident than this talk as Aaron unveils an entirely new and unstoppable attack vector.
