2. Can’t defend what you don’t know • “Know your enemies & know yourself” <Sun Tzu> • Hacker Mentality • Map your network regularly • Sniff and Baseline your network know what type of data needs to be going across your system • Know what types of paths are open to your data WIFI, USB, BlueTooth, Remote Acess • Web 2.0 • Mobile device access

3. Hacker Mentality • Hackers are motivated by various factors: • Ego • Curiosity and challenge • Entertainment • Political beliefs • Desire for information • Thrill of gaining privileged access • Own the system long term (Trojans, backdoors) • Attempt to compromise additional systems • A "trophy" to gain status

4. Hacker Stratification In the End there can only be 1 • Tier I • The best of the best • Ability to find new vulnerabilities • Ability to write exploit code and tools • Motivated by the challenge, and of course, money • Tier II • IT savvy • Ability to program or script • Understand what the vulnerability is and how it works • Intelligent enough to use the exploit code and tools with precision • Motivated by the challenge but primarily curiosity, some ego • Tier III • “Script Kiddies” • Few real talents • Ability to download exploit code and tools written by others • Very little understanding of the actual vulnerability • Randomly fire off scripts until something works • Motivated by ego, entertainment, desire to hurt others
