A former intrusion specialist is training a gathering of European law enforcement agents in how the bad guys work on the Internet. Contributing editor Markus Feilner stops in for a lesson in attack techniques.
November 2008. Freiburg is supposed to be Germany’s “sunniest city,” but today, on my way to a special forensics conference, the rain is constant. Tobi, an ex-hacker who is now a forensics expert and trainer, is training 20 representatives from a smattering of European law enforcement agencies. The sessions over the next few days will cover topics such as rootkits, CSS scripting attacks, and browser compromise. The participants will also learn how attackers use professional software to create, distribute, and administer botnets, trojans, and viruses.
