WHAT: |
At Black Hat, Dan Hubbard and Andree Toonk will announce BGP Stream, an open information source that will make information about potentially malicious BGP hijacks and outages available to anyone, via Twitter. BGP is the fabric of routing on the Internet today. There are approximately half a million routes on the Internet originated by about 50,000 unique Autonomous Systems. Throughout the last couple years, there have been several large scale BGP incidents, such as outages and hijacks of networks. BGPmon has operated a network of BGP probes, classifiers, and associated alerts on these changes and has discovered and publicized several attacks that utilize BGP. By subscribing to BGP Stream, security professionals can monitor and alert potentially damaging network changes that affect traffic flows. | |||||
| At Security BSides Las Vegas, Andrew Hess will discuss OpenDNS IntelDB. OpenDNS IntelDB is a graph database system that captures and stores all security-related data for the entire organization. In addition to providing valuable data such as whitelisting and threat attribution, this system is the foundation for the next generation of security research at OpenDNS. Andrew’s presentation will give a brief overview of the system and walk through how it influences security research at OpenDNS. | ||||||
