Unconventional Linux Incident Response
- Tom Webb
- Wednesday, June 17th, 8:15pm - 9:15pm
Responding to compromised servers in a homogeneous Linux environment is boring! What would you do if you had to collect data on a exotic processor, 10-year-old kernel or rare file system? I will discuss specific examples of incidents, tools, and lessons learned from hundreds of collections in a widely diverse Linux environment.
