Tales from the NIST AI Pen Test Challenge - AI Pen Testing 101
Attendees will get deep dive of some of the most effective AI pen testing techniques as based on the Instructor’s experiences from the NIST AI Pen Test Framework Challenge, Industry Best Practices, and ever evolving state of the art.
OSINT for Hackers Redux
In this Workshop and Tactic, attendees will be exposed to and get hands-on with some of the most impactful strategies, techniques, and tools to increase the value of OSINT to their red-teaming activities. As a guided learning experience, the instructors will immerse attendees in the topic and provide numerous hands-on opportunities within just the Workshop component. In addition, the dedicated Tactic (which will be offered multiple times) will focus on building secure sock puppets (fake identities) for use in the recon and information gathering phases of red team and penetration testing operations.
OSINT for Hackers
In this Workshop, attendees will learn some of the most impactful techniques and tools to increase the value of OSINT to their organizations. A guided learning experience, instructors will immerse attendees in hands-on exercises.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is increasing in importance to all areas of Security, particularly Cybersecurity. Organizations use OSINT to hunt for threats and to conduct red team exercises. As
the amount of information on the global Internet grows, developing OSINT skills can help attendees to
perform better in their jobs and help to secure their organization on multiple levels. This session will present some of the most impactful OSINT techniques and tools, including newer AL and LLM methodologies, in a guided, immersive, hands-on format. The workshop is designed as a guided, hands-on session. All attendees will be expected to bring a laptop (a tablet will work for most of the tools, though not all) so that they can 'play along' with the exercises. Each technique or tool will be demonstrated live. All attendees will be challenged to utilize what they have learned by applying them to their own searches and projects.
OSINT Challenges
A series of OSINT Challenges to teach techniques useful in various Cybersecurity related areas.
Hacking the Human-in-the-Loop
AI defenses are only as good as the analysts training them. This session exposes how attackers manipulate SOC analyst behavior to silently degrade AI baselines over time, no exploit required. We cover the mechanics of false positive injection, alert fatigue as a weapon, and misdirection. Then attendees step into the analyst's seat in a live browser-based simulation and experience how their own decisions poison the model.
