TECHNICAL TRAINING TRACK 1 -  SPAM ATTACKS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM

BY: John Draper (aka Captain Crunch)

  • Date: 4th & 5th October 2004

  • Venue: The Westin Kuala Lumpur

  • Duration: 2-days

  • Capacity: 30 pax

  • - CLASS IS FULL
  • Cost: RM1,500 per person.

This course will examine and discover the methods deployed by spammers, hackers, and other insurgents in their never ending quest to fill as many mailboxes with spam and smut as possible.

Participants will get a hands on experience in how to interpret spam mail headers, identify mail sending points, extract domain ownership information on who really owns these spam promoted web sites, and how to track them.

The course is based on analysis of the tools spammers use to control large amounts of infected machines for their deeds, whatever they are.

This includes the use of Honey pots for the purpose of deliberately infecting a machine, then “sniffing” the network for anomalous behavior.

These sniffed logs are then examined to determine their protocol, examine payload, and identify unique “patterns” which are used to construct Snort IDS rules for the detection of any communication protocol the virus or Trojan may be using.

During the course, the participants will be introduced to the following methods, code, and tools for the identification of these viruses, as well as the following disciplines.

  • Examining spam mail to identify it’s source
  • Using network tools to identify the organization the spam came from
  • Setting up an IDS and network analysis system
  • Sniffing and identification of virus or Trojan communication protocols.
  • Examining methods of acting on IDS events in real time.
  • Network tracing to identify upstream providers
  • Examining how viruses and worms are spread.

Participants would have access to UNIX and Windows OS machines, with access to Python programming language, used to write specialized programs and tools.

Key Learning Objectives:

 

  • How to manage and deal with the large volume of spam
  • How to protect your network from hostile attacks from inside or outside threats
  • How to write Snort rules in almost “real time” to detect new threats as they come in
  • Identification of 'Phishing' schemes, and Email tracking.
  • Tracking down spammers
  • Spam reporting techniques.
  • Basic Python programming

General Learning Objectives:

  • How to protect you and your network from outside threats
  • How to develop a spam managed Email system
  • How to report spam, and what ISP’s want in their reports.

Who should Attend:

  • Network and System administrators
  • CTO’s and technical management
  • John Q Public
  • Students
  • Law Enforcement
  • Attorneys
  • Lawmakers
  • Anyone interested in a spam free internet experience.

Trainer

John T Draper,

Founder and CEO, ShopIP Inc.

Founder and CEO of Shopip Inc,  now involved in a new venture dedicated to promoting a spam free internet experience for all internet users.  His focus as been with analyzing spam, it’s sources, how it’s sent, and how to deal with it on a larger more global scale.

John also provides custom consulting services, training, and other means of spreading important information on how we all can protect the fragile internet infrastructure by developing real time reactionary tools for dealing with these kinds of threats.

Previously, John has developed the Crunchbox, an IPS (intrusion prevention system) using stealth means of hiding and protecting important internet assets while still allowing these assets to be used by outside users,  and yet keeping unauthorized users totally in the dark to even the existence of such a protected network.   “You can’t hack what you can’t see” is his motto.

John Graduated from College in Silicon Valley, the high tech mecca where most of this technology was developed, then went on to develop EasyWriter, the first word processor Program ported to the popular Apple II, putting sophisticated word processing in the hands of the masses.

John has appeared on nationwide TV in numerous interviews, relating to telecommunications and internet security,  and has traveled all over the word to give talks and training sessions on this important subject.

A few years ago, when spammers shut down his popular web hosting and Email service, John took this as a personal attack, and got actively involved in the anti-spam movement, and is now shutting down more then 150,000 infected hosts per month through his aggressive spam reporting system.
