Speaker: Gordon Gray (@gor_zilla)
Just how secure are public WiFi networks? What are the risks of doing your online banking from a coffee shop?
This talk will aim to cover the basics of local network attacks, starting with WiFi exploits and then going over a typical LAN setup to show how easily an attacker could control your network traffic and potentially even your whole computer.
Finally there'll be some discussion of the mitigations and what to be aware of to stay safe.

DEF CON Groups are a gathering point for folks interested in the alternate applications of modern technology, referred to properly as 'hacking'. DCGs are not intended to compete with any other computer groups, such as 2600, but rather to provide yet another gathering place for the discussion of technology and security topics. DCG meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their skill, age, job, gender, etc. DCGs are designed to help you learn new things, meet new people, mentor others in areas you may be strong in, and provide some cohesion within the hacker culture and its members,
