SUMMARY:Defense Against the Dark Arts
DESCRIPTION:Join the RBTC IT-Security Forum for our popular “Defense Against the Dark Arts” panel-demo event to see some of the most cutting-edge cyber-attacks today\, and how to protect your systems and infrastructure from them. Bring a laptop and participate or just watch. Each panelist vulnerability/exploit demo will include a cloud-documented HOWTO for you to take home with on\, detailing how to defend against or prevent each attack\, or mitigate against it. These live demos are pure gold for IT-Security experts.\nFood\, beverages\, power and wifi (for playing along) are provided. Just RSVP\, and BYOLaptop + power supply.\n \n\nFeatured Panel Demos\n(Growing list) \n\nAI/MCP Defenses – Your AI Has Root: Pentesting Agentic AI and MCP\, By B.Bagby @VWCC\nThis demo will show how an attacker can poison\, inject and exploit AI chatbot Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools\, and show how untrusted tool descriptions or outputs can influence agent behavior across trust boundaries. Then\, I will apply defenses and rerun the same attacks to show the difference between asking an AI to behave safely and technically preventing it from doing something unsafe. \n\nWeb App/APIs – “Finding IDORs Before Attackers Do”\, By Brandon Lester\, @CDW\nInsecure Direct Object References (IDOR) are a common vulnerability in web applications/API’s ranging from benign impact to critical exposures of sensitive information. This talk will examine how the vulnerability is introduced\, how attackers find+exploit IDORs\, and how you can find/prevent them before attackers do. \n\nWhitebox CVE Pentesting – “Kali w/Vulnerable Targets”\, By T.Weeks @VACyberRange\nThis workshop will walk you through getting logged into Cyber Range in our dedicated “vulnerabilities lab” network filled with documented CVE vulnerable targets that we will step you though to pop-root on. Just bring your laptop and from there we’ll step you through the basics of Linux-based nmap recon scans\, and jump right into intermediate level network penetration testing against several classic CVEs (vulnerabilities). \n\n\n \n\nSpeakers\n \n\nProfessor B. Bagby\n \nProfessor B.Bagby is an Associate Professor of Information Technology and Computer Science with a background in instructional design\, information systems\, and cybersecurity education. His work focuses on making complex technical topics practical and understandable\, with particular interests in cybersecurity\, artificial intelligence\, and hands-on computing. He teaches at the community college level and has a particular fondness for turning intimidating subjects into things that feel a little less like dark magic. \nPublic email: bbagby@virginiawestern.edu \n\n \n\nBrandon Lester\n \nBrandon has over 5 years of experience in offensive security. He works as a full time penetration testing/red team consultant at CDW co-leading the Application Security (AppSec) Team. Beyond AppSec\, Brandon has experience in a number of different areas\, including IoT\, internal/AD networks\, and more. \nPublic email: haicenhack@proton.me \n\n \n\nThomas “Tweeks” Weeks\n \nThomas “Tweeks” Weeks is a published Linux author\, and has 30 years of IT/Engineering experience. Tweeks is an IT director with Virginia Tech IT\, but most of his time is spent working as a Lead Engineer with the Virginia Cyber Range\, helping develop security courseware\, design lab-VM images\, and write CTF challenges for the Range. Tweeks also sits as the technical lead for the Roanoke Blacksburg regional technology council’s IT-Security Forum and leads homeschool cybersecurity teams in Virginia. \nPublic email: tweeks@VirginiaCyberRange.org \n\n \n\nCheck Last Year’s DADA Event\n2025 DADA Overview –  https://go.vacr.io/2025-dark-arts-overview  \n2025 DADA Photos –  https://go.vacr.io//2025-dark-arts-photos  \n \nInterested in Presenting at DADA 2026?\nIf you think you might like to present at the 2026 DADA\, submit to our CFP here: \n https://go.vacr.io/2026-dark-arts-cfp  \nAnd we’ll reach out to you! \n \n\nThe IT Security Forum is dedicated to professionals engaged in IT and cybersecurity related fields of work\, the IT Security Forum is focused on exploring best practices and sharing insights in the always-evolving landscape of organizational IT. \n\n \nREGISTER NOW
