When Cybersecurity Is Not Just About Vulnerabilities
summary
The talk explains how attackers can misuse legitimate devices, protocols and features rather than exploiting coding flaws. It covers real techniques like data exfiltration, steganography, DNS rebinding and side-channel attacks that repurpose normal mechanisms to achieve malicious goals, illustrated with analogies such as IKEA Hackers. The presenter frames these tactics in the context of backend and infrastructure development and everyday digital usage.
