Every year thousands of security professionals descend upon Las Vegas to learn the latest and greatest offensive and defensive infosec techniques. They check into a hotel, they pick up their badge, they get on the Black Hat network...and inevitably, they play. "Security professionals"? That's just corporate speak for "Hackers."
This presentation will explore the inner workings of what is, without a doubt, one of the most hostile network environments ever created. Oh!, we don't make it hostile. You do. We just try to keep it up and running. So come see what goes into the planning, deployment, and maintenance of the Black Hat network infrastructure. We'll share as much as we can about the history of the network, the gear we're using today, and the traffic patterns that keep us sweating, and laughing, well into the night.
