RuCTF in english [DEPRECATED]

On the second day another talk will be presented by a regular guest of our conference — Dmitry Sklyarov. Dmitry is a head of the department of Positive Technologies application analysis, he is working in the field of information security more than 18 years. He is a developer of an algorithm of Advanced eBook Processor program, published by Moscow company "Elcomsoft" and designed for creation of ebook backup copies in Adobe PDF format.

Andrey is a senior security researcher in the team Kaspersky Lab ICS CERT: he started working in Kaspersky Lab in 2016, his specialisations are penetration testing, research of industrial automatisation systems' security, "internet of things" and and different smart devices. He is a member of several CTF teams.

Nowadays "smart" devices become more and more popular. Some even say the amount of them is bigger than amount of people on Earth. But we need to ask ourselves whether they are properly secured. Andrey Muravitskiy's presentation will be dedicated to fresh vulnerabilities uncovered by team Kaspersky Lab ICS CERT in different "smart" devices with certain examples and demonstration.

He is going to tell about internal structure of WinRM and available authentication methods in it, show the way all these methods are organised inside the system and why most of them aren't secure.
The presentation will be of interest both to those who manage Windows on machines via Ansible or WinRM and those who merely use Windows.

We updated the schedule on our site. It's time to tell you about another speaker of the conference! First presentation of the second day will be provided by Artem Zinenko, member of the Hackerdom team

On RuCTF 2018 Egor is going to appear with his presentation "Your hash is mine. Pentest in Windows local networks".
A word to the speaker himself:
— This presentation will fully enlighten you about attacks in Windows networks: what the NTLM hashes are, what kinds of them exist, how to steal them and what for. Also a little about bruteforcing hashes and weak passwords. For last I prepared a fascinating RCE for machines in AD domain.

The first speaker is Egor Korbutov. Egor is an experienced penetration tester of Digital Security and BugHunter, a member and organizer of Defcon Russia (DCG#7812).
