SUMMARY:Fireside Friday - Anatomy of a VPN - Part 1 of 3
DESCRIPTION:We all have gaps in our security knowledge. Fireside Fridays will be an opportunity to fill in those gaps. Each Friday we will pick a topic and go over the basics. These sessions will be a combination of lecture and hands on labs. We’ll cover a single topic and hopefully fill in some of those cracks. Think of it as a single focused “ask us anything” session. No judgment on the questions that get asked\, just a chance to raise the bar for all of us. \nIn this webcast\, we will start discussing the components that make up a VPN. We’ll talk about symmetric encryption\, hashing\, and Hash based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). We will also do a lab that shows the challenges you encounter when there are collisions in the hash space. \nChat with your fellow attendees in the Threat Hunter Community Discord server: https://discord.gg/threathunter in the #live-chat channel. \n  \nRegister Here\nChris BrentonChris has been a leader in the IT and security industry for over 20 years. He’s a published author of multiple security books and the primary author of the Cloud Security Alliance’s online training material. As a Fellow Instructor\, Chris developed and delivered multiple courses for the SANS Institute. As an alumni of Y-Combinator\, Chris has assisted multiple startups\, helping them to improve their product security through continuous development and identifying their product market fit. \nShare this:

No judgment on the questions that get asked\, just a chance to raise the bar for all of us. \nIn this webcast we will build on what we learned in the last Fireside Friday\, in order to lay out the needed components for a VPN. We’ll talk about asymmetric encryption and setting up a secure channel over an insecure medium. We will also discuss the various methods available for initial authentication in a VPN. \nChat with your fellow attendees in the Threat Hunter Community Discord server: https://discord.gg/threathunter in the #live-chat channel. \n  \nRegister Here\nChris BrentonChris has been a leader in the IT and security industry for over 20 years.

We will discuss SSH\, IPSec as well as TLS. We will also review recommended configuration options for each implementation. \nChat with your fellow attendees in the Threat Hunter Community Discord server: https://discord.gg/threathunter in the #live-chat channel. \n  \nRegister Here\nChris BrentonChris has been a leader in the IT and security industry for over 20 years.
