Title : Some neat, new and ridiculous hacks from our vault
If you do pentest for living, then you should be used to compromising applications and networks pretty much on a daily basis. However, each hack is unique and some are more special than others. There are those that help you stay in job, those that keep you awake in night and then there are those that define why we do pentest. In this talk, Sid will share some neat, new and ridiculous hacks which he and his colleagues at NotSoSecure have come across during real life pentest.
