At Censys, we have an unrivaled view of TLS certificates thanks to our expansive certificate repository (the world’s largest). In this Black Hat speaking session with Censys Principal Security Research Emily Austin, learn about the history of certificates on the web and how at Censys we can observe the current state of TLS adoption across the web.

2. Security B-Sides Las Vegas
On Tuesday, August 6th, Censys Researchers Emily Austin and Ariana Mirian will also be at Security B-Sides in Las Vegas delivering talks about some of their recent research. Stop by to get their unique perspectives on how internet scanning can unearth unexpected insights.
Defensive Counting: How to Quantify ICS Exposure on the Internet When the Data is Out to Get You
- 3pm
- Tuesday, August 6th
- Ground Truth, B-Sides
Though there are many industrial control system (ICS) devices connected to the Internet, simply counting everything that looks like it may be ICS is not the most accurate method for measuring ICS exposure. In this talk, Censys Principal Security Researcher Emily Austin will discuss the analysis process from data collection to determining whether an ICS protocol is a “real” device, what these numbers mean in context, and why you really can’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

What Do We Learn When We Scan the Internet Every Hour?
- 3:30pm
- Tuesday, August 6th
- Ground Truth, B-Sides
Censys Senior Security Researcher Ariana Mirian will discuss findings from scanning the Internet every hour for a week, diving into examples where she observed the portion of the Internet was fairly stable (e.g. popular protocols on their standard ports) and where uptime was ephemeral (e.g. TCP SIP, HTTP on non-standard ports). Ariana will discuss what these findings mean for the Internet scanning community as a whole, implications for scanning research, and next steps.
