Super poisonous. But in makeup! Colour pigments! And rat poison.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
People would go to the seaside to feel better. And they did. Because no arsenic!

Sextortion emails with real passwords from old data dumps.
Trying to scam folks out of money.
They've gotten nearly $1mil NZD!
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
Greater sentiment of mistrust or distrust of how data is being used.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
We need more awareness to drive resistance to the problem.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
They developed a test for arsenic. Now producers had to clean up their act because people could find out they were putting arsenic in their products!
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
But other countries did. And the public wanted non arsenic products. So they moved on.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
Time. We need to keep pushing and keep moving forward.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
Not everyone needs to be a leader.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
Keep the pressure on.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
Optimism isn't cool, but we need it so bad! We need that energy and drive to keep moving forward.
#Kiwicon @attacus_au
When you put code in control of millions of dollars it REALLY matters when it fucks up.
#Kiwicon
They make attackers' lives super easy!
#Kiwicon @syngularity0
Train yourself to think like a red team so you can figure out how to counter them.
#Kiwicon @syngularity0
#Kiwicon @syngularity0
This is what I look like! (although you probably already know)
Feel free to say hi if you see me around. I love Twitter peeps.
With normal devices we're defending the user from an attacker.
In game consoles the attackers usually ARE the users!
#Kiwicon
But... What about the drivers?
#Kiwicon
Become really familiar with FPGAs. Need security co-processors that handle all secure data/computations.
Also PUFs - physical unvunerable functions
#Kiwicon
#Kiwicon
They chose this place because he thinks NZ is the best place to build systems for a global market.
He wants to move from gaming consoles to solving problems for IT.
#Kiwicon
@Metlstorm shows up. Implies @kiwicon lives!
Maybe he should submit a talk on his tooling!
#Kiwicon @mubix
#Kiwicon
I'll add the tag #TW to my tweets on this talk so folks can mute that hashtag
#Kiwicon @Zemmiph0bia
#Kiwicon @Zemmiph0bia #TW
We have to be better.
We built this shit. We have to fix it.
#Kiwicon @Zemmiph0bia #TW
Looks in the DHCP packet, removes the option length, then does some other stuff that leads to memory corruption.
#Kiwicon
How does this affect the rev count?
What about the option length?
#Kiwicon
Maybe the XXX comment means some developer already thought this was a bad idea
#Kiwicon
Nobody uses DHCPv6 but everyone supports it. 🙄
#Kiwicon
Firs buy some escooters... Wait soz. Wrong talk. @mjg59
#Kiwicon @IAmMandatory @LittleJoeTables
Github report available
#Kiwicon @IAmMandatory @LittleJoeTables
Basically a table of pre reversed password hashes
#Kiwicon @IAmMandatory @LittleJoeTables
Just a few hundred million rows.
SQL?
MongoDB - snapchat for databases?
Nah, well use Big Query. Its... "Web Scale"

When you install malware on a system you're just adding features
#Kiwicon
As we connect things here things become vulnerable there.
#Kiwicon
They got in via the internet connected fish tank. 😱
#Kiwicon
Its outrunning us.
#Kiwicon
Attackers adapt and get smarter.
This is where we get arms races.
Expertise flows down hill. Today's NSA exploits are tomorrow's normal attacks.
#Kiwicon
#Kiwicon
- Patching - we have teams of people who are agile about fixing issues we know will exist.
This does exist for embedded systems. A lot of these devices have no means of patching, or anyone issuing patches.
#Kiwicon
How often do you replace your car?
Your refrigerator?
Your thermostat?
We have no idea how to secure 30 year old software.
#Kiwicon
You don't know, and you probably don't care.
#Kiwicon
Passwords are terrible. And almost all backup authentication is much worse than the primary authentication.
We'll see the rise of thing to thing authentication. They will authenticate to each other without people involved.
#Kiwicon
You're not going to manually set up 10k authentication.
It works now for 10-25 things.
Doesn't work at scale.
#Kiwicon
Its always been a disaster but it's becoming impossible to ignore.
#kiwicon
Kaspersky and Huawei are just the tip of the iceberg.
Who is making the chips? Who is writing the firmware?
#Kiwicon
We have to trust the update mechanism.
We have to trust the shipping mechanism.
How do we validate this stuff?
#Kiwicon
You can't trust anybody, but we have to trust everybody.
#Kiwicon
Bruce thinks this is a policy problem. We need to use law to subvert tech.
#Kiwicon
Goes over well in airports.
#Kiwicon
We all use the same stuff.
Either everyone gets security or nobody gets security.
Wr can't have security, but deny it to our adversaries. We're all too interrelated now.
#Kiwicon
#Kiwicon
Can we have a things monitoring other things.
#Kiwicon
We NEED sensible policy. The risks are too great and the stakes are too high
Your choice is no longer between gov intervention or no intervention. It's between smart gov intervention or dumb intervention
#Kiwicon
Equifax learned: skip security, hope nothing bad happens, if it does then weather the storm & continue on.
We need regulation to add real cost if you don't take security seriously. Otherwise why would it change?
#Kiwicon
The EU is looking this way.
#Kiwicon
Software isn't that way. Tends to be write once, sell everywhere.
So if one jurisdiction forces security, it'll be rolled to everyone
#Kiwicon
We NEED to get involved. We have knowledge & expertise that NEEDS to be reflected in policy.
#Kiwicon
Global warming, the future of work, automation, these all have massive tech components
#Kiwicon
#Kiwicon
Tried to capture as much as I could. Hope the themes came through!
