College student struggling with cybersecurity assignment College student struggling with cybersecurity assignment
Teach Me!

So like the title says I'm currently in school pursuing my cybersecurity degree and at the moment I'm really struggling in my ethical hacking class. For an assignment I have a list of password hashes along with a hint of what they could be. In this case the first set of passwords are a kaiju followed by three digits and a single lowercase letter with an MD5 hash applied to them. The second set off passwords are a basic color (think crayola basic 12 set teachers words not mine) followed by a kaiju name and these are a SHA-1 hash. I was able to get one password from the first set and I was able to get 4 passwords from the second set. l've been coming up with wordlist after wordlist but nothing else has cracked and l've been wracking my brain for the past 3 days. If anyone is willing to offer some advice it would be hugely appreciated. Also l've been using hash-identifier, hashcat, as well as Johnny for this assignment, and I think l've got the basics down for how they work


Hacking conference for critical industries (SCADA/IIoT/etc.) Hacking conference for critical industries (SCADA/IIoT/etc.)
AMA

TL;DR - A friend and I started a security conference, but we have spent our careers in research and operations, and need some help marketing the con. How can we best reach the security, manufacturing, logistics, utility, energy, and aviation industries?


We've spent the last year putting together a cybersecurity conference called RSTCON (reset-con; https://rstcon.org ). Our goal is twofold:

  1. Revive the technical conference experience by focusing on research and novel exploitation

  2. Connect researchers with critical industries that will benefit by looking beyond compliance

So far, we've confirmed several awesome sponsors and some phenomenal speakers such as Daniel Gruss, Colin O'Flynn, Daniel Genkin, Russ Handorf, and Dan Petro. We're looking for ideas to:

  1. More effectively reach other industries

  2. Get more CFP submissions (https://rstcon.org/cfp/)

  3. Inform all who may want to attend
