A lot of Internet of things devices use linux as its core. More so with the advent of DIY projects and Internet of things projects. A lot of Raspberry PI's, Beaglebone, Tessel boards are out there with default settings, and all connected to the internet, ready to be taken over. With the recent dyn DNS attack its of prime importance to know how we can keep these end point devices secure and out of the hands of botnet hoarders, attackers. In this presentation Rabimba Karanjai will show how to harden the security on these endpint devices taking a RaspBerry PI as an example. He will explain different techniques with code examples along with a toolkit made specifically for this demo which will make devices considerable harder to compromise. And even when they are, will allow to locate and detect the breach. After all, proetcting the device fially protects us all (prevents another DDOS)
