“The one security demo you should watch…” links to an awesome awesome security presentation. This video is a must watch.
It is very awesome to see him (Jesper Johansson) actually hack completely patched Windows Servers starting from a SQL Injection attack in a web application. That one weak link allowed him to take over an entire network methodically. Did I mention it was cool. Some unix and linux heads out there may disagree a few times when he says that many of the things are the same on linux and unix. Disagree all you want, but from a very realistic point of view, it is true. I find that having used both Windows and Linux very extensively for over 10 years, I find more things in common between them than I do find things which set them apart.
Interesting video. Demos like this are great at shaking tech people out of their myths on security. Sadly, “can’t happen here” is a very prevalent attitude.
Hi Jay,
Enjoyed your blog and thought I’d reach out and send you this: We are putting together a gathering of ADO.NET, and data connectivity lumaries for an informal gathering during TechEd 2006. This will be an opportunity for everyone who lives and breaths data connectivity, ADO.NET and who is looking to get a first hand feel of everything on the horizon for ADO.NET, LINQ and .NET and meet some of the key players involved.
The date ? Meet up is on June 13, 2006
The time ? Between 4pm and 6.30pm
