Adios, HackerSummerCamp 2024! The last couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions—exhausting, exhilarating, entertaining, enlightening, and amusing, all at once. But if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "energising". Despite a packed schedule, both personally and collectively, we managed to accomplish everything we set out to do, and it was nothing short of a rewarding experience. The journey began long before we arrived at the events. Months were spent selecting and scrutinising talks, refining the schedule, and working closely with speakers to help them polish their presentations. This effort paid off when we hit the ground running. We kicked off the event with the first Cloud training under the Cyfinoid Research Private Limited banner, delivering two intensive rounds over four days. Black Hat was a whirlwind—on Day 1, I was busy attending sessions and reconnecting with friends and associates, while Day 2 saw me moderating a panel discussion and diving into various community track events. Defcon had its own flair. On Day 2, I switched roles and played podcast host, interviewing my friend Kunal, the CTO of RedHunt Labs. The rest of Defcon was a blur of activity spread across the Recon Village, Adversary Village, and Cloud Village. The single massive venue made it easier to navigate and soak in the event’s atmosphere. I can't thank the village organizers enough—Shubham Mittal, Sudhanshu Chauhan, Jayesh Singh Chauhan, Abhijith B R, Akib Sayyed - and a massive shout-out to the volunteers who kept everything running smoothly. As the saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child," and in this case, it takes an army to run a village. Looking ahead, I’m already excited for what’s next. The Indian conference scene is heating up, and I’m eager for more hectic, fulfilling, and energizing adventures in the coming year. Stay tuned for what's on the horizon!

Day 1 of #BlackHatUSA2024 I am around the BlackHat area connecting with old friends and making new friends. feel free to connect, highly interested in discussions around mobile, cloud, and supply chain security. #infosec #mobilesec #cloudsec #supplychainsec

Since 2021, I've had the honor of serving as a review board member for BlackHat Europe. This year, I am thrilled to extend my contributions to the review process for BlackHat Asia and BlackHat USA. Additionally, I am curating content for Adversary, Cloud, and Recon Villages, ensuring only the best talks make the cut, even if it means I can't attend all my favorite sessions physically. In collaboration with my company, I've put together a list of must-attend talks for those looking to navigate this year's event. Check out the links in the comments for our the blogs. So, what's my plan for Hackers Summer Camp 2024? 3-6 Aug 2024 - I'll be teaching the “Going Beyond Shells! - Hacking AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and Aliyun” Multicloud Exploitation class.  - My company is also running the “Attack and Defend Android Applications” class. Both classes are available in virtual mode, so you can join from anywhere in the world. 7th Aug 2024 - I'll be roaming the halls of BlackHat Briefings and the Business area, aiming to catch up with as many people as possible.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐄𝐫𝐚 Our current cybersecurity systems rely heavily on cryptography to secure everything from online transactions to personal communications. As technology advances, quantum computing brings a significant shift to challenge this security landscape by potentially cracking codes that would take traditional computers millennia to decode. However, the rise of quantum computing presents both opportunities and challenges in cybersecurity. On one hand, it can significantly enhance encryption methods and threat detection algorithms. On the other, it threatens current encryption standards, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques. As we stand on the brink of this quantum revolution, it is quintessential to explore and innovate in the realm of cybersecurity.

At Cyfinoid Research Private Limited, we recognize that the digital threat landscape is continually evolving, posing significant challenges for organizations worldwide. Ransomware remains a critical threat, with attackers increasingly shifting tactics towards data theft and extortion. These sophisticated methods not only jeopardize sensitive information but also exploit the vulnerabilities within trusted software or hardware components through supply chain attacks. Supply chain attacks represent a severe risk, leveraging the trust organizations place in their partners and vendors. By targeting these connections, attackers can introduce malicious code or compromise systems at multiple points, creating a ripple effect that can devastate operations and reputation. Our research-powered consulting and training services at Cyfinoid are designed to fortify your organization against these multifaceted threats. We offer expert guidance to enhance your security posture through holistic security solutions. We work closely with your team to identify vulnerabilities, implement robust defenses, and develop comprehensive response strategies. Stay ahead with Cyfinoid. Safeguard your digital assets, protect your supply chain, and ensure resilience against the evolving tactics of cyber adversaries. #CyberSecurity #Ransomware #SupplyChainSecurity
