SkyDogCon 2015: Staring Into the Light

Staring Into the Light - Josh Ruppe

When you think of someone performing a standard man in the middle attack, what do you picture in your head? A network tap on copper cables? Someone using a WiFi Pineapple? Well what if the data being intercepted is leaving your home or coffee shop? Would you feel safer if your data was inside an optical fiber? You shouldn't. Fiber optics are just as susceptible to tapping as any other method of communication. In my demo lab, I will show you how fiber optic tapping works, how to conceal a tapping setup and how to defend against such an attack.
