Demonstration and Presentation of Autonomous Nodes
Ender explores demonstration and presentation of autonomous nodes at DEF CON 8, examining autonomous-nodes and practical defenses.
Summary
Architecture and Background
Ender - Demonstration and presentation of Autonomous Nodes I am working in conjunction with them on this project and plan on a lengthy on site demonstration of the nodes' functions and AI. It's purpose mainly to demostrate that the theory of these nodes is highly functional in both network research, for exploitation and protection. To give you a quick surmise.
Vulnerability Analysis
A small LAN will be setup. NodeH (node hacker) will be inserted and printed documents of the timing and actions that NodeH will take, will be passed out to the crowd. The node will perform actions and an oversight of it's AI will be presented to the crowd describing the reasons and purposes behind it's decisions.
Exploitation and Demonstrations
Automated exploitation with an attack tree backbone (Bruce Shniers idea from DR Dobb's Journal) are some of the main features. I have currently a 13 page overview which I am working on with Caezar. I have already begun development, the first run being MS compatible, with a Linux port possibly before DefCon.
