UTA Security Conference

Greetings viewers!

I had a few requests for me to post the presentation and tips that I gave earlier today. You can download the presentation by clicking here.

Social Network - Clean House / Search and Destroy

• Separate - Only use your real name for professional work. Don't link to you aliases.
  
• Articulate - OMG, will you be LOLing when your interviewer finds out you have a 5th grade speech equivalency?
  
• Obfuscate - Cover your past indiscretions with false information. Need help finding your indiscretions? Check the bottom of this post.
  
• Delete - Give Google 4 months to archive your false identity, then destroy it.
  

Separate Your Networks

• Real name for professional networks - LinkedIn : Steve Topletz
  
• Fake name for friend networks - MySpace: Arrakis
  

Learn how to write a resume - distract your interviewer from your alias of "partydude04"

Engage in Best Practices

• Keep your drivers license in your car
• Carry cash instead of plastic cards
• If you have to carry a card, carry only 1 payment card, credit card preferably
• Shopping Online: Use FREE one-time-use credit card numbers from your bank's website.
  
• NEVER carry your social security card
• Shred bills, receipts, documents, contracts, etc.
  
• Use history / tracks erasing software (like xB Browser)
  
• Use encryption (ex: TrueCrypt)
  
• Be careful what you use the internet for
• USE XEROBANK SOFTWARE! (It's free and has 0 calories)
  

SPY ON YOURSELF

Did grandma's photo-album sell you out? Try out some of these social-network search engines on yourself. I was able to easily locate political donations, church welcomings, blogs, photos, home addresses, phone numbers, resumes, and a litany of other information about my colleagues.
