Watching the Watchers – Analyzing URL Scanning Solutions at Scale
Nicholas Anastasi
Abstract:
In this talk, Nicholas will showcase a personal project that analyzes defensive cybersecurity solutions. More specifically, he will dive into companies that scrutinize URLs within phishing emails to irk out their weaknesses and indicators that can be used to bypass modern security controls at scale. During the talk, we will have some fun with Elasticsearch, FastAPI, and Javascript wrapped up into a neat project coined “httpot.”
