This is a presentation I gave for the Kentuckiana ISSA on May 8th, 2009. It covers the basics of protecting yourself when using open WiFi on a potentially hostile networks, most notable Hacker cons, but also coffee shops, libraries, airports and so forth. Topics include: open file shares, unneeded services, sniffing and evil twin attacks. The talk is based on the Hacker Con HiJinx tri-fold I wrote awhile back. Slides can be found here.
I've uploaded two videos of the talk, the first is a test of my new presentation recording rig. It has audio sync issues, but looks good. the 2nd is one I took from the back of the room with my Aiptek GVS
