The 2024 AWSN - Australian Women in Security Network Incident Response Competition is done! It was the fourth year we've run this competition - and this year we built another challenging and comprehensive scenario for participants to work through. Each team did an incredible job of investigating the victim network, briefing executives, preparing media statements, and considering the regulatory and legal aspects of the incident. Well done to all of the teams and participants... your willingness to learn, to be challenged, and the breadth of your incident response knowledge and capabilities was on full display throughout this event. And a very big congratulations to the top three placed teams: 🥇 1st Place: Team 14 Kamaea Scott, Nandip Kaur Sagoo, Tandi Chogyel, Sonia Kadyan and Kathy Nguyen. They'll receive SANS vouchers and a mentoring session with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). 🥈 2nd Place: Team 20 Lorine Kidiavai, Yeshi Peldon, Olivia Leung, Jacinta Hayward and Shimsha Shetty. Second place prizes include Lumify training vouchers and a one-on-one session with Lynn Moore. 🥉 3rd Place: Team 11 Bonnie Pui Man Cheng, Belinda Lysaght, Chandra Deepti Marri, Jay P and Krithika Venkatarama Subramanian. Third place will receive vouchers from the Cyber Leadership Institute and a mentoring session with Lynn Moore. Industry events like this one are incredibly important as they help to build the cyber skills pipeline here in Australia.

🚀 Cyber BlueCon#6: A Huge Success! 🚀 We had an amazing time at the latest Cyber BlueCon event! The atmosphere was electric, and the room was engaged throughout the evening. 💥 Our featured speaker Giresh Mulani delivered a compelling presentation on Designing and Implementing Secure Wireless Networking for both home and enterprise environments. Attendees learned about the strengths and weaknesses of various Wi-Fi technologies, with real-world case studies demonstrating how hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in wireless networks. 🔐💻 The talk covered essential topics such as: - Common attacks like evil-twin attacks, wardriving, and disassociation attacks 📡 - Misconfigurations and lookalike SSIDs that put networks at risk 🔎 - Practical strategies for bolstering wireless security in different settings 🔒 The workshop session took things up a notch with a hands-on wireshark CTF #malwareonthewire. Attendees dove into traffic analysis of a RedLine Stealer Pcap file, competing for prizes as they uncovered the malicious activity hidden in the data. 🏆🎁 The lively workshop atmosphere made for an exciting and educational experience.
