Pen Testing A City

by Greg Conti & Tom Cross & David Raymond

How would you take down a city? How would you prepare for and defend against such an attack? The information security community does a great job of identifying security vulnerabilities in individual technologies and penetration testing teams help secure companies. At the next level of scale, however, things tend to fall apart. The information security of cities, the backbone of modern civilization, often receives little to no holistic attention, unless you count the constant probing of nation state aggressors. The information technology infrastructure of cities is different from other entities. Cities feature complex interdependencies between agencies and infrastructure that is a combination of federal, state and local government organizations and private industry, all working closely together in an attempt to keep the city as a whole functioning properly. Preparedness varies widely. Some cities have their act together, but others are a snarl of individual fiefdoms built upon homegrown technological houses of cards. If you can untangle the policy and politics and overcome the bureaucratic infighting to create workable leadership, authorities, and funding, you are still faced with an astronomically complex system and an attack surface the size of, well, a city. Our talk identifies these necessary precursor steps and provide a broadly applicable set of tools to start taming and securing, such an attack surface.

In this talk, we first explore a notional city, deconstruct it layer by layer, and use these insights to suggest a comprehensive methodology for reverse engineering any city and deriving its attack surface. We complement these insights with a broad analysis of proven capabilities demonstrated by hacker and information security researchers as well as known capabilities of criminal and nation-state actors applicable to city-level attacks. Next, we develop a coherent strategy for penetration testing as an approach to highlight and then mitigate city-level vulnerabilities. Finally, we conclude with a wide-ranging set of approaches to complement pen testing efforts, including exercises and collective training, metrics and a maturity model for measuring progress, and specialized city-level attack/defend ranges. You’ll leave this talk fearing for the survival of your respective country, but also possessing a toolkit of techniques to help improve the situation. By better securing cities we have a glimmer of hope in securing nations.

Fundamentals of Audio and Music Engineering: Part 1 Musical Sound & Electronics

In this course students learn the basic concepts of acoustics and electronics and how they can applied to understand musical sound and make music with electronic instruments. Topics include: sound waves, musical sound, basic electronics, and applications of these basic principles in amplifiers and speaker design.

Internet Measurements: a Hands-on Introduction

 

Ce cours en anglais est une introduction pratique aux mesures de l’internet (métrologie), basée sur des expérimentations réelles sur la plateforme PlanetLab Europe. Y sont abordés différents concepts tels que la topologie des réseaux et le routage, les pertes, la latence, la géolocalisation, la bande passante et les mesures de trafic.

Nouveauté : les vidéos de ce MOOC sont également sous-titrées en français

Machine Learning

L’apprentissage automatique est la science permettant aux ordinateurs d’accomplir des tâches sans avoir été explicitement programmé dans ce sens. Dans les dernières décennies, l’apprentissage automatique à donné naissance aux véhicules sans conducteurs, à la reconnaissance de la parole, la recherche web performante et à largement contribué à l’amélioration de la compréhension du génome humain. L’apprentissage automatique est tellement présent aujourd’hui que vous l’utilisez probablement des dizaines de fois par jour sans même vous en rendre compte. Beaucoup de chercheurs pensent également qu’il s’agit du meilleur moyen de progresser vers une intelligence artificielle au niveau des humains. Dans cette classe, vous allez prendre connaissance des meilleures techniques d’apprentissage automatique et acquérir de la pratique dans sa mise en oeuvre. Plus important, vous n’allez pas seulement prendre connaissance des fondements théoriques de l’apprentissage, mais également acquérir le savoir-faire requis pour rapidement et efficacement appliquer ces techniques à de nouveaux problèmes. Finalement, vous allez apprendre des meilleures pratiques en oeuvre dans la Silicon Valley se rapportant à l’apprentissage automatique et l’intelligence artificielles.

Ce mooc contient une large introduction à l’apprentissage automatique, l’analyse de données et la reconnaissance de forme. Le contenu inclut: (i) Apprentissage supervisé (algorithmes paramétriques / non paramétriques, machines à vecteur de support, noyaux, réseaux neuronaux). (ii) Apprentissage non-supervisé (partitionnement de données, réduction de dimension, système de recommandation, l’apprentissage profond). (iii) Bonnes pratiques en apprentissage automatique (bias, variance; process d’innovation en apprentissage automatique et IA). La classe va également décrire plusieurs cas d’usages, ainsi vous allez également apprendre comment appliquer les algorithmes d’apprentissage pour construire des robots intelligents (perception, contrôle), compréhension de texte (recherche web, anti-spam), vision par ordinateur, informatique médicale, signaux sonores, base de données sémantiques, et d’autres domaines.

The DarkNet with Jamie Bartlett

An insight into the underground world of the dark nets which overlay the public Internet, are not indexed by search engines and require specific software, configurations or authorisation to access and navigate them. Jamie Bartlett talked about his book The Dark Net and his immersion in the Internet’s most shocking and unexplored subcultures, from making purchases on the Amazon of drugs to hanging with Bitcoin anarchists to exploring the encrypted world of the Tor network. Jamie described meeting with the real people who are part of the net’s most hidden spaces and discussed the darker side of life online, and what online anonymity does to human behaviour and belief – both good and bad.

This talk was hosted by Laurence Mackin, arts editor of The Irish Times and editor of The Ticket and took place on Wednesday, September 30th.

Privacy in a Digital Age: Keynote Presentation by Bruce Schneier

Personal privacy is critical to the exercise of free speech and free thought. Lack of privacy suppresses access to ideas and undermines democratic well-being. In today’s digital world there are a number of trends that threaten to impinge on citizens’ privacy, including increased surveillance of electronic communications by public agencies and the gathering and use of online personal data for commercial purposes. This seminar, co-sponsored by Carnegie UK Trust, explores the key debates regarding privacy and the role that public libraries can play in this arena.

Bruce Schneier is a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School.
