Speaking

Wrangling Malware for Fun and Pentesting
SANS Pen Test HackFest Summit 2018
As a pentester, we're always looking for ways to crack the perimeter and establish a foot hold. But we're busy right? So, why re-invent the wheel?
Malware is making it past companies perimeters everyday. "Wrangling Malware for Fun and Pentesting", explores the idea of re-using malware delivery
and obfuscation techniques for pentesting. We will take a phishing email with an obfuscated malware payload, deobfuscate it, review the code, replace
the malware with a pentesting payload, re-package it, and deploy it for pentesting.
