Philippine I.T. Security Forums x mClinica
mClinica hosts the Philippine I.T. Security Forums (PHITSF) 2nd Meetup, last November 23, 2019. More than 70 attendees from different backgrounds participated in the event.
The meetup starts with a greeting from the PHITSF Admin and followed by Grzegorz Frydrychowicz to introduce mClinica’s mission and vision, and the product of the company to the participants.
Data Privacy 101
“Data is the new Oil. But trust is the new currency”
Data is so important that its insecurity may cause a company’s downfall. Therefore Jake elaborated on the proper collection, usage, and disposing of someone’s data.
WiFi Vulnerabilities and Internet of Things
Bryan Angelo Aglipay informed the participants about how the WiFi works and how it can be vulnerable.
WiFi is widely used by machines and devices, and now the Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging. We now have smart televisions, home automation, smart glasses and many more and they have one thing in common, they have the capabilities to connect to the internet using WiFi, that is why it is an easy target for the attacker.
Attacking Human Interface Devices aka BAD USB
Jonelle Castañeda shows the participants how HIDs can be easily hacked and controlled easily.
Jonelle used devices that can be bought online:
- Teensy 3.2
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
And software:
- Arduino IDE for Teensy
- Kali Linux (P4wnP1 ALOA)
All you have to do is to use these devices with runnable scripts to your targetted machine, and you may control and exploit it remotely.
Attacking Active Directory
Al Francis shares about what and how to gain access to the active directory.
Active Directory contains a lot of important data of the system/organization like the domain, user information, container, print queue, organizational unit, policy, generic object, site link & bridges, sever, IP subnet, and many more. Therefore, gaining access to this directory can be harmful to the company.
He also demonstrated the step by step process on how to do it using a virtual machine.
