A video recording of Russ' RSA Conference 2012 presentation, Evil Through The Lens of Web Logs, is available on YouTube. This is a short version, intended to be TED-like, of an hour long presentation. The slide deck for the full presentation is available here.

Web logs can be analyzed with specific attention to Internet Background Radiation (IBR). Two bands of the IBR spectrum include scanning and misconfiguration where details about attacker and victim patterns are readily available. Via web application specific examples this discussion will analyze attacks exhibiting traits, trends, and tendencies from the attacker and victim perspectives.
