An introduction to 100 (more or less ^_- ) useful security related tools in 50 minutes. It will be quick, but just enough for you to say: "Oh, that's cool!"

In this beginner level talk I spend 30 seconds to 2 minutes introducing dozens of useful tools across several domains of the security industry: Offensive, Defensive, Incident Response, and generally useful.

If you are new to a job role, or new to security in general, the goal is to introduce you to cool and useful tools that you can use on a daily basis to make your life easier.

This presentation will be chock full of slides, with a few demos to really give you a feel of the power of some of the tools. I would love to cover a full 100 tools, but it will likely be a bit less due to time constraints.


Are you releasing a tool? – no Have this talk already be given? – yes
