You Don't Need To Be A Michelin Chef To Know How To Use A Knife

Join DC207 for a sharp, no-fluff talk that cuts straight to what matters: the five tools every red team operator keeps in their kit, and why they work.

In this session, Ian Briley (aka TheGhostOfYankeeJim) walks us through tools like Snaffler, Certify, SharpUp/WinPeas, Rubeus, and BloodHound... not with deep-dive demos, but with real-world context and examples of how they deliver fast results in live environments.

Whether you’re new to red teaming or a seasoned operator looking to sharpen your edge, this talk focuses on how attackers chain together these tools for quick impact, and why defenders should be paying close attention.

🧠 What to Expect:

• Operator Essentials: The top 5 tools that consistently show up in real red team ops
• Tactical Use Cases: Why each tool matters, and how attackers quickly weaponize them
• Field-Tested Wisdom: No fluff, just techniques that have proven effective in real-world networks

🍕 Pizza & Happy Hour:

• Post-event happy hour with the crew at Arcadia for pinball and pints.
