Pen Test Perfect Storm Trilogy Slides

Over the last several months I had the pleasure of working with Ed Skoudis and Kevin Johnson in presenting a trilogy of webcasts titled the Pen Test Perfect Storm where we talk about techniques to combine network, web app and wireless pen testing. By combining these components of classic pen-tests, we are able to more effectively test the network for threats and dig deeper into an organization. Check out the slides and links to the webcast archives here:

Why Zoher Anis Rocks My Inbox

If you haven’t met Zoher Anis at a SANS conference or other popular venue, please make an effort to do so as soon as possible. Zoher is one of the most awesome guys I know, and humbles me with his new presentation “Why Joshua Wright loves Windows Vista ? And why you should be glad you’re not running it.

Zoher came up to me at the SANS 2009 Orlando conference and showed me a slide deck he made for a private audience about some of the awesome wireless stuff Microsoft added to Windows Vista. In it, he applies a lot of the Vista wireless hacks I wrote about in Vista Wireless Power Tools (for the penetration tester), and adds his own excellent Vista hacks in the process.

After I begged and pleaded, he allowed me to distribute a sanitized version on my site. For your enjoyment. Thanks Zoher!
