Beer-Talk #18 in Berlin: How to pwn a Global Player in two days

Thanks to greater financial and personal resources, large companies are better equipped against hacking attacks than smaller companies and startups. But is that really true? We will find out in our next Beer Talk. Join us February.

The Beer-Talk will consist of a 45-minute technical presentation in German followed by discussions over a snack. The participation is free but a registration is required.

 

Topic

It is assumed that large companies have more money and personnel available to secure their systems, which is why global players are considered to be well-protected against hacking attacks. In many cases this might be true, but definitely not in all of them.

In this presentation we will give you an insight into the state of IT security and show that global players are just as vulnerable as startups. Using a case study, we question the equation "turnover = security". Further, we will present our approach in a penetration test, during which we were able to take over an entire company within two days and were able to "steal" customer and other sensitive data.
