LinkMeUp. Issue 16, Pentestit and PHDays IV

    In our podcast, we could not help highlighting such an event as Positive Hack Days, which took place in Moscow at the end of May. On behalf of Pentestit, it was delivered by Alexander Sinister , a guest of the 8th edition.

    Pentestit is a young, even very young company, which has practically no analogues either in Russia or even abroad. Roman Romanov - director of Pentestit - was a guest podcast six months ago in the 8th issue, along with Alexander and talked about his laboratories. This time, Maxim Mayorovsky , Pentestit Penetration Laboratory Development Manager, continues the story of the company's development and how they prepared the lab for PHD.

    Alexander will tell in a podcast about the Positive Hack Days forum as a whole, as well as about two reports affecting communication networks.
    One of them, which he actually spoke with, is dedicated to Intercepter-NG - a powerful tool that allows you to listen to traffic and organize MITM attacks in automatic mode. There is one mysterious story connected with this application, about which Alexander told PHD and to us in the podcast. You can watch the video recording of the presentation here .
    The second report on a rather burning topic is attacks on the networks of mobile operators through the SS7 protocol. Such threats were studied and tested in practice by Positive Technologies' specialists - Sergey Puzankov and Dmitry Kurbatov.
    An attacker, once in a technological network, can do terrible things, from SMS forwarding to listening to a call from anywhere in the world.
