Breaking the Fourth Wall - Hacking a 50 years old myth

Presented at BSidesLV 2017, July 25, 2017, 3:30 p.m. (25 minutes).

Follow me on a journey where we p0wn one of the most secure platforms on earth. A giant mammoth that still powers the most critical business functions around the world: The Mainframe! Be it a wire transfer, an ATM withdrawal, or a flight booking, you can be sure that you've used the trusted services of a mainframe at least once during the last 24 hours. In this talk, I will present methods on pentesting mainframe applications, deploying shells and elevating privileges on the system, all starting with zero authentication. If you are interested in mainframes or merely curious to see a what a shell looks like on MVS, you'll want to attend this session.
