Red Team Lead at Oracle Cloud
Michael (@r00tkillah) has done hard-time in real-time. An old-school computer engineer by education, he spends his days co-leading the Red Team at Oracle CLoud. Previously, he developed and tested embedded hardware and software, fooled around with boot roms, mobile apps, office suites, and written some secure software. On nights and weekends, he hacks on electronics, writes CFPs, and builds ridiculous rockets. He enjoys long walks through other people's computers.

CON Adversary Village workshop stage | Las Vegas Convention Center
Adversary Guru Panel
Adversary Simulation
With all the modern security tools at our fingertips, you would think attackers would have a harder time. But year after year, they keep getting in, often using the same techniques they have used for decades. This panel takes a real-world look at why high-tech defenses still fall to low-tech tactics. We will talk about where things break down, why the basics still matter, and how defenders can rethink their approach to stay ahead of persistent threats.
