Open by Default #BSidesBUD2024

Aurelio Picon Lopez - Open by Default: The Hidden Cost of Convenience in Network Security This presentation was held at #BSidesBUD2024 IT security conference on 23th May 2024. This presentation will discuss the almost obvious realization I had after a year of reviewing anonymized network security event logs for more than 2 billion devices spread across north America and Europe, tracking malware, trending TTP, IOT software updates, targeted devices, botnet compositions and behaviors, etc, All that is good but ultimately the only reason the majority of current botnet spreading and behaviour is happening because the routers on households have "auto port forwarding" enabled by default. https://bsidesbud.com All rights reserved. #BSidesBUD2024 #upnp #networksecurity
