The Internet itself contains the very tools needed to attack your systems when you connect them to it. This presentation gives you an over the shoulder perspective as a network is attacked using freely available resources. You will get to watch as the same tools and techniques hackers use every day are applied systematically. You will see a hacker go from a simple Google search to an "owned" network in less time than an episode of "24". This presentation will walk through the two phases of network discovery and the three phases of network compromise. The process of reconnaissance and scanning will be demonstrated. Next, you will see how a network is actively explored and exploited. Finally, you will watch the process as an attacker expunges any evidence of his presence. Attacks happen every day. Millions of dollars are stolen, lives are harmed, and reputations marred. This is your chance to look over the shoulder as the hacker works and explains how it is done. You have heard the buzzwords and jargon, now watch it done in real time.
