Preconference Workshop
Although it is one of the oldest technologies in IT, the command line and terminal emulators continue to be in wide use for modern IT needs. Although people may think of these technologies as having a solid security footing, there are a number of ways someone can shoot themselves in the foot while using them, and I'm not just talking about running "rm -fr /". In this workshop, Mark Krenz, the creator of the popular Twitter account climagic, will demonstrate these and guide students through how to practice better command line security, from understanding the metadata that is generated by your favorite editor to knowing how to exploit SSH, knowing how to protect yourself when checking malware, and much more. There is something for everyone in this workshop, and you are sure to come away with a plethora of job-saving tips.
