Nick Dunn, IOActive Senior Security Consultant, will present an exploration of the legacy vulnerabilities of the AS/400 systems.
The AS/400 (also known as iSeries) is an IBM system in use since the late 1980s. Large numbers of these systems remain in use, performing vital back-office functionality in the financial sector, and in other sectors. While they’re not frequently exposed to the wider internet and usually encountered on internal networks, they offer a number of interesting services that can make them vulnerable to an attacker.
Nick will provide an introduction to the system and its history and its broad attack surface, and proceed to show steps in carrying out a security assessment – wwith the goals to better defend such a system.
