Hacking the First Amendment: A press photographer's perspective on Red Teaming scenarios

In this engaging talk, we explore how a press photographer’s unique perspective enhances our understanding of red teaming scenarios, shedding light on the present day media access to events such as games, concerts and presidential rallies.

By taking into account elements of social engineering, physical and network security, we focus on how lessons learned as a press photographer can directly be applied by red teamers (or threat actors) to gain a foothold in crucial infrastructure. Once that is achieved, attackers can pivot around to a significant number of targets, and depending on the event space/venue, attackers could have access to highly sensitive data belonging to a wide array of organizations, ranging from professional sports teams, musicians and bands, to political leaders and lawmakers.

The talk also discusses the importance of looking at the ‚Äòbigger picture’, and being aware of threats where people may not consider them to come from. In this case, it is threat actors disguised as members of the media. It will discuss the role of the press and pivot to how this can potentially be exploited by threat actors, taking advantage of security misconfigurations, lack of awareness, and the First Amendment.
