Cyber Fair 2017 Poster

Event Summary

The 14th edition of the Cyber Security and Awareness Fair was a successful journey with Social Credit. Over 500 participants ventured in from Fullerton College, Coastline, Chaffey, and Charter Oak High School along with Cal Poly Pomona faculty, staff, and students. This year’s fair is focused on Social Credit, inspired by China’s ‘Once Untrustworthy, Always Restricted’ Social Credit System. According to the Supreme People’s Court of China, 6 million Chinese citizens had already been banned from airplane flights for social misdeeds in early 2017; this number will only grow. How does this apply to cybersecurity? We have Internet-connected devices in our homes, cars, pockets, and even on our wrists – the data gathered by these devices is used to build a profile of the user that can be abused – not only by hackers, but even by the companies compiling the data. What happens when your DNA test or sequencing results are associated with your online identity? We highlighted these concepts along with traditional security issues like social engineering, phishing, and wireless hacking during our fair.  Overall, this event brought together IT staff from CPP, faculty from CS and CIS, SWIFT, FAST, and MISSA clubs, volunteers, faculty from Fullerton. In addition, the exhibit table cost is now an annual budget line item for Chaffey Colleges CIS department. It is these partnerships that make this program successful. We are proud to have held our fifth annual Cyber Security & Forensics Research Poster Competition.

MISSA

 

Look Before You Like

 

In this experiment, MISSA ran an analysis on comments from Facebook that include keywords, such as “Trump” or “immigration”, and the program sorts through a dictionary that categorizes the surrounding words as positive or negative. Participants were informed of how much information a third party could grab off you through an API on Facebook

 
SWIFT Think Before You Connect  SWIFT explored the uses of Hak5’s WiFi Pineapple and Packet Squirrel demonstrating how vulnerable your data can be to our attendees.
FAST

 

Your Smart TV, Smart Toys, & IoT Devices are Spying on You.

  Attendes learned how to block advertisements, spying "analytics" companies, stop your SmartTV from spying on you, and got insight into the mysterious activity of IoT devices on your network, using a <$100 mini computer with free and open-source software!
Chaffey Remote Robot Shell Chaffey demonstrated how malicious hackers can run scripts on your computer using an innocent looking USB Rubber Ducky. They simply load the script onto the device and plug it into your computer; the scripts are run automatically by your computer. This functionality can be leveraged to create a reverse command shell that allows hackers to run programs on your computer, in addition to many other attacks.
