Workshops

Docker 101 – Alex Kaskasoli, Mohit Gupta

This workshop will provide an introduction to using Docker. It will include an overview of various tools used as part of the Docker ecosystem for creation, orchestration and monitoring of Docker instances, such as Docker Compose, Docker Machine and Docker Swarm. The main objective is to demystify basic usage and provide attendees with enough knowledge to feel comfortable with Docker for both their personal use and contextual awareness during engagements.

This workshop is recommended for Docker beginners.

Requirements:

Personal laptops with a Linux host or Linux Virtual Machine. It is recommended to use a Linux host with Oracle VirtualBox which will aid with certain parts of the workshop.

 

Introduction to Binary Dark Arts with SMT Solvers – Sam Brown

SMT solvers have been at the core of some seriously cool research projects, particularly in Reverse Engineering and Exploit Development. However the field has a high barrier to entry, often requiring a strong background in Computer Science that a lot of practitioners have never experienced. This workshop aims to provide some basic knowledge and exposure to the Z3 SMT solver and Angr binary analysis platform.

At the end of the workshop a ‘king of the hill’ style CTF challenge will be opened up where the top performer wins a Sphero BB-8.

Requirements:

  • Laptop with VirtualBox installed, 30GB of disk space and at least 4GB of RAM to dedicate to it. A Debian VM with all required tools installed and configured along with exercise files and sample code will be provided.
