The Cyber Security Show Conference

Attended the Cyber Security Show organized by Terrapinn in conjunction with the IOT Show. Took place in Suntec City Exhibition hall and held on the 22nd to 23rd September 2015. Although 70% of the booths were concentrated on the IoT, the sponsored talks were actually good to listen to. One of the unique things for this conference was that there were a series of table discussions where notable professionals in the security industry gave a topic for a round table discussion. This is definitely something conferences should have especially if one of the agenda is to allow delegates to network and what better way to network then to start off with a round table discussion, getting to know each other and exchanging business cards.

Null Singapore Security Meetup - July

I had the opportunity to present at Null Singapore, a monthly security meetup group here. The last time i presented was about Vulnerability Assessment on SCADA systems but this time, due to a career change (or upgrade), i presented about my exploration into the deep web.

The deep web as most (or some) know it as the part of the internet not indexed by typical search engines like Google or Yahoo. It is a part of the internet where sources say most of the stuffs reside. According to an article, google managed to index up to only 4% of the world wide web...so where are the rest? The answer: Deep Web. 

My journey to the deep web wasn't a fun one. Instead, the deeper i go, the weirder i found. From selling of drugs, abuse of humans, selling of weapons, hackers for hire, assassins for hire and much much more. It is alarming to see the so called criminal activity that resides in there and due to the anonymity of the connection to each site, it is very hard to be monitored, tracked or charged by law enforcers.

In this presentation, i presented about the things i found in the deepweb. You can download the slides here. http://www.slideshare.net/FadliBSidek/red-riding-hood-in-the-deep-dark-woods
