Fishing To Phishing - It’s all about slimy creatures.

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 5, 2015, 2 p.m. (55 minutes).

Hacking a fish finder should be something that hasn't been seen or talked about. The talk will be fun and interest anyone inside or outside the BSides community. Many can relate, or understand the issues and risks of poor security for almost any new device. Most don't realize how powerful sonar units have become over the last 5 years. Fishing is one of the most popular activities in the world. This talk can be 20 or 45 minutes

  • Wayne Crowder
    After the dream of becoming a fisheries biologist was crushed under the reality of low pay for 8+ years of school, Wayne turned to his love of technology. IT and Security have been very kind to Wayne's fishing habit. For many years it supported him while he moonlighted as a professional fisherman. Stints on TV, radio and seminars for boat or outdoor shows, has led to at least a dozen autographs. Incident response, malware and threat intel keep him busy when not on the water. Wayne is proud to have more fishing poles than certifications.
