September Meeting
When: Tuesday, September 17, 2019 - 6:00 PM

Topic:  Bug Hunting - An adventure in free time

Bug bounty programs are the new industry buzz in offensive security. Some even market it as the next generation of penetration testing. While I won’t attempt to prove or disprove that theory, I will share my experiences while hunting for vulnerabilities and working with vendors in open and closed source software. Over the last two years I have found and responsibly disclosed many vulnerabilities. The most important component is working with the vendor or project which can be challenging because there is no uniform way to report a vulnerability. Several public vulnerabilities that I discovered will be discussed along with the tools I use. This includes a vulnerability that has been confirmed to impact over a dozen Windows applications. Recommendations and tips will also be shared.

Who:

Rich Mirch has been in IT for over 21 years; Rich is currently a member of the Red Team at State Farm where he mimics tools, tactics and procedures of skilled adversaries to help uncover potential vulnerabilities within State Farm’s information networks. Rich’s strong background as a UNIX/database administrator coupled with his knowledge of offensive security position him uniquely to identify vulnerabilities in software and applications.
