Re: I'm Attending Defcon this August, advice?

Well, I'm attending it in the hopes of learning about how some of these attacks work, and how to defend against them. Helps me teach my students better practices (and myself as well). To be honest, I had planned on having an old laptop with a brand new kubuntu install on it (no data I care about)

Re: I'm Attending Defcon this August, advice?

Any site you contact can become a Man in the Middle Target on a shared network. sslstrip will give the attacker targeting you (arp spoofing your connection between the router) a list of usernames, passwords and URL's for every sight you visit. On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Ted Gould wrote:
