SPARSA Graduate Student Advisors Bryan and Jared are two BS/MS students of the Computing Security Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology. During their academic careers they have engaged in several attack/defend competitions. These competitions have a red team (the attackers) actively seeking to exploit networks, and a blue team (the defenders) which actively defends their environment. This talk is discussing how they are using DevOps tools to effectively control hosts in order to maintain persistence on a network.
