Location: RIT's Golisano Hall Auditorium (Building 70, Room 1400)

Please RSVP to  [mailto:Ralph.Durkee@Owasp.org Ralph Durkee]

We'll have some brief news and chapter business followed by a presentation by Ralph Durkee. Food will be provided so please register by sending an email. You can park in J or T Lots. Campus maps are on-line http://maps.rit.edu.

Abstract: Ralph will briefly discuss Ethical Hacking (EH) and Penetration Testing (PT), why they are important and how they differ. He will talk about the ethical hacking mindset and the ethical hacking process and why it's important as a professional Penetration testing meta-technique. The presentation will then apply the EH process with audience participation on exploiting sample vulnerabilities of both servers and clients. The examples will cover several specific, yet basic tools and techniques that continue to be effective in the exploitations of systems, applications and clients. Of course he'll also briefly discuss how to defend against these attacks. Although the cool tools and sexy exploits tend to get much of the attention when it comes to penetration testing, the focus will be on the ethical hacking as a meta-technique and how it can be applied to maximize the usefulness of the results to the hiring organization. The presentation will also cover some common misconceptions, mistakes, ethical issues and non-professionalisms that continue to trouble the profession.
