Thou shalt wirelessly intercept your neighbor: Leveraging WiFi and Bluetooth in operative
In this talk, we shall discuss various security mechanisms used in WiFi and Bluetooth networks and how to abuse them to obtain mission-critical intel. Apart from explaining all principles, we will demonstrate them (hopefully live) on our tactical device! Starting with an access point and client scans, we will continue with client targetted jamming and total Denial-of-Service of the whole network that may even result in authentication handshake capture. This handshake contains information to recover the WiFi password to access the targeted network. Once inside the network, we will show essential hacking tools to conduct IP-level reconnaissance. But we will not limit ourselves to WiFi and demonstrate how Bluetooth can be leveraged to notify you about a person's presence or exploit various IoT devices.

Mastering the password cracking
Users need to provide passwords when they are logging into the computer, starting their smartphone, accessing their favourite web service, opening protected files/disks, connecting to a network or pairing their wearable. Encryption is an inherent trait of digital presence, whether users realize it or not. We will speak about different approaches to password cracking, including dictionary, rule-based, brute-force, hybrid and association attacks. We will show benchmarks of how fast high-end GPU cards can recover passwords for various formats (e.g., Windows credentials, WPA2 handshakes, ZIP and RAR files, LUKS partitions, Android PINs, and iPhone Backups). We will answer what length or complexity of the password is enough to protect your data. Nevertheless, better than guessing the password is knowing the password! We will conclude our talk by demonstrating the applicability of personal information leaks with usernames, emails, phone numbers and passwords!

The capability to handle vast amounts of cellular data has transformed the landscape for intelligence and law enforcement agencies, offering precise and continuous geolocation tracking that was not possible before. This wealth of data holds critical insights, and by leveraging advanced analysis tools, agencies can generate high-quality intelligence that enhances the investigation and resolution of both historical and ongoing security incidents.
In this meeting, we will explore and demonstrate how employing mass data analysis tools within a cellular-based geolocation system can significantly enhance an analyst's ability to solve cases. By identifying suspect behaviour through patterns in suspicious data, these tools can even effectively aid in the prevention of terrorism and crime.

Thou shalt wirelessly intercept your neighbor: Leveraging WiFi and Bluetooth in operative
In this talk, we shall discuss various security mechanisms used in WiFi and Bluetooth networks and how to abuse them to obtain mission-critical intel. Apart from explaining all principles, we will demonstrate them (hopefully live) on our tactical device! Starting with an access point and client scans, we will continue with client targetted jamming and total Denial-of-Service of the whole network that may even result in authentication handshake capture. This handshake contains information to recover the WiFi password to access the targeted network. Once inside the network, we will show essential hacking tools to conduct IP-level reconnaissance. But we will not limit ourselves to WiFi and demonstrate how Bluetooth can be leveraged to notify you about a person's presence or exploit various IoT devices.

Mastering the password cracking
Users need to provide passwords when they are logging into the computer, starting their smartphone, accessing their favourite web service, opening protected files/disks, connecting to a network or pairing their wearable. Encryption is an inherent trait of digital presence, whether users realize it or not. We will speak about different approaches to password cracking, including dictionary, rule-based, brute-force, hybrid and association attacks. We will show benchmarks of how fast high-end GPU cards can recover passwords for various formats (e.g., Windows credentials, WPA2 handshakes, ZIP and RAR files, LUKS partitions, Android PINs, and iPhone Backups). We will answer what length or complexity of the password is enough to protect your data. Nevertheless, better than guessing the password is knowing the password! We will conclude our talk by demonstrating the applicability of personal information leaks with usernames, emails, phone numbers and passwords!
