(S2:E4) Keynote: Guardians of Cybersecurity: Deploying IoT devices via Drones and Dropboxes - Alex Thines and Brad Ammerman - SecretCon 2024
In the ever-evolving landscape of Cybersecurity, traditional boundaries have continually expanded to accommodate innovative tools and methodologies. This presentation delves into the journey of Alex, a Cybersecurity enthusiast who transitioned from a blue team analyst to an adept programmer, and Brad a seasoned Cyber security professional. Their passion for hacking, combined with his newfound appreciation for programming, led to an intriguing amalgamation of Cyber and physical security realms. Alex and Brad's fascination with drones further catalyzed this integration, giving birth to "The Raccoon Squad". This initiative features two groundbreaking devices: the 'Flying Raccoon', representing airborne reconnaissance and intrusion, and the 'Sneaky Raccoon', epitomizing ground-level stealth operations. Through this exploration, we gain insights into the future of integrated security solutions that seamlessly blend digital prowess with tangible, real-world applications.
Alex Thines began his journey as a blue team analyst, he dove into the world of programming. As he sharpened his coding skills, he found not only an enhanced ability to hack but also a newfound love for programming itself. The synergy between hacking and coding intrigued him, urging him to merge the two. As a way for Alex to destress, he picked up flying FPV (First Person View) drones and quickly realized another potential use for his hobby.Brad Ammerman stands at the forefront of security testing as the Senior Director at Prescient Security. He championed offensive security initiatives at ProCirular. Brad has cultivated an impressive cybersecurity repertoire of distinguished tenures at organizations such as Foresite, Optiv Security, Lockheed Martin, and the DIA.‍
