Workshop Focus:

• DNS security
• Methodology of a DNS based cyber-attack
• Training on the fundamentals of DNS security
• Walking attendees through the generation of a DNS based data exfiltration event
• The detection and analysis of such an event

This was an engineer focused event. To facilitate the workshop, the course utilized a Raspberry Pi configured as a DNS Sinkhole to demonstrate the initial concepts of Indicators of Compromise (IoC), DNS blacklists, and threat intelligence. 

Attendees were required to configure and install this device to support several labs, where they performed white hat hacking (ethical hacking) to further understand the scope of DNS attacks. This presentation included relevant material on how Infoblox can prevent and block a vast array of these types of attacks, including many methods outside the scope of this workshop. 

This Infoblox Security Workshop:

• Brought attendees a unique and compelling event that provided an enhanced understanding of DNS security through both lecture based education and hands on technical training.
• Enabled attendees to start developing a skillset to address DNS threats and understand how easily hackers can commit these attacks
• Demonstrated Infoblox’s security offerings as the industry leading solution to stop these attacks???????
