Mantra OS - Penetration Testing Tools and Methodologies

Explore the world of penetration testing with this 23-minute conference talk on OWASP Mantra OS. Dive into practical testing methodologies and learn how to run tests in a controlled environment. Witness demonstrations of Mantra OS's tool-set, including Maltego for intelligence collection, DDoS attacks using LOIC and Slow HTTP poisoning, SQL injection with Burp and sqlmap, Man-in-the-Middle attacks with SSL stripping, and various poisoning attacks. Gain insights into why hackers use these tools, discover mitigation strategies against such attacks, and understand how to transform penetration testing results into an effective risk mitigation plan. Led by Gregory Disney-Leugers, Platform Security Engineer at Hytrust, this talk emphasizes the importance of ethical hacking in identifying vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.
