Keynote
A Conventional, Yet Unconventional Law Enforcement Career...
by Craig Jones, @Twitter
Abstract: The evolution of digital and cybercrime over the past four decades has been shaped by rapid technological advancements, shifting threat landscapes, and evolving defensive strategies. This presentation offers a firsthand perspective on navigating a career in this dynamic field from the early 1980s—when cyber threats were emerging alongside personal computing—to the complex, AI-driven cybercrime ecosystem of 2025. Key milestones in digital forensics, threat intelligence, and cybercrime will be highlighted, along with lessons learned from working on the frontlines of cyberspace. Attendees will gain insights into the skills, adaptability, and strategic thinking required to combat cyber threats across eras, as well as predictions for the future of cybercrime and defence.
Bio: Craig Jones is an international cybersecurity and law enforcement expert with over four decades of experience. As INTERPOL’s Director of Cybercrime (2019–2024), he led global operations, strengthened cyber resilience, and disrupted transnational criminal networks. Craig expanded INTERPOL’s Global Cybercrime Programme, fostering real-time cooperation across its 196 member countries and addressing emerging digital threats through innovative operational models. He also played a pivotal role in INTERPOL’s contributions to international cybercrime negotiations, including the UN Ad Hoc Committee on Cybercrime and OEWG.
Previously, Craig held senior roles in UK law enforcement, focusing on cybercrime at local, regional, and national levels. Since retiring from the National Crime Agency in 2024, he continues to collaborate with industry leaders, academic institutions, and policymakers worldwide.

Paint it... Purple: Wireless Security at the Operating Table. A workshop not for the Faint-of-Heart
by D.Georgiou, K. Kiriakos, S.Pitikaris, @Twitter , @Twitter , @Twitter
Abstract: This hands-on workshop explores offensive (Red Team) and defensive (Blue Team) wireless security techniques, culminating in a Purple Team approach for proactive defense. Through live demonstrations of Wi-Fi attacks (e.g., WPA2 cracking, Evil Twin) and countermeasures (WIDS/WIPS, secure configurations), participants will gain practical skills to enhance cybersecurity posture and mitigate evolving wireless threats.
Learning Outcomes
• Master Wireless Attack Techniques: Participants will learn to identify, scan, and exploit wireless network vulnerabilities by capturing WPA2 handshakes and setting up rogue access points using industry-standard tools like Aircrack-ng, Wifite, Kismet, Bettercap, WiFi Pineapple etc..
• Build Robust Wireless Defenses: Attendees will gain hands-on skills to configure secure Wi-Fi setups (e.g., WPA3, Enterprise 802.1x authentication, MFA and strong encryption, Walled Garden Guest portals) and deploy detection/prevention strategies (WIDS/WIPS and hardening) to counter attacks like Evil Twins and unauthorized access attempts.
• Apply Purple Team Synergy: Participants will understand how to bridge Red and Blue Team efforts, using attack insights to enhance defensive measures and foster a proactive, collaborative approach to wireless security.
Notes for Participants
The instructors will provide a detailed handout to guide you through the session. Expect:
• A list of tools (Aircrack-ng, Kismet, Bettercap) with download links and setup instructions for the Kali Linux lab.
• Step-by-step guides for key demos: capturing a WPA2 handshake, launching an Evil Twin attack, and configuring a secure router.
• Online resources for further exploration (e.g., WPA3 specs, WIDS/WIPS tools).
• Log analysis tips and sample configs to spot and stop wireless threats.
