Barbarians At The Gateway by Dave Lewis

This talk will examine the tools, methods and data behind the DDoS and web attacks that are prevalent in the news headlines. Using information collected, I will demonstrate what the attackers are using to cause their mischief and mayhem and examine the timeline and progression of attackers as they move from the historical page defacers to the motivated attacker. I will look at the motivations and rationale that they have and try to share some sort of understanding as to what patterns to be aware of for their own protection.

The aim of this talk is to remove the perception that machine learning is rocket science and enable attendees to either contribute or start building their own intelligent scanner.
