Hey hackers! Who is excited for more DC416 in person events? Come join other like minded hackers, cyber security professionals, and enthusiasts at our November 29th event where we will have two talks!This month's meetup is sponsored and hosted by <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EY</a>!Talk #1: How To Build A Threat Hunting PracticeSpeaker: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-bhoohe-9a60b645/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jamie Bhoohe</a>Abstract: Learn the basic process and requirements to building a mature threat hunting practice. You'll gain an understanding of the differences between threat hunting versus traditional SOCs, the skills and resources required to build a successful threat hunting team, and the challenges and issues in building a mature threat hunting practice.Bio: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-bhoohe-9a60b645/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jamie Bhoohe</a> (AKA Radar) is a Manager of EY's Threat Hunting team, leading a large group of analysts focused on proactively hunting for threats and developing new detections.

What is going wrong and how can we improve? This talk will cover common vulnerabilities and risks associated with smart contracts. Code samples will be provided in Solidity, which is currently the most commonly used programming language for smart contract development, however many of the concepts explored can be applied to other on-the-rise languages (Rust, Move, etc.). Attendees will gain an understanding of attacks that have been leveraged against decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), bridges, and more.
