Positive Hack Days (PHDays) is an annual international cybersecurity forum. It has been held by positive technologies since 2011. It’s an international event that provides a platform for cybersecurity enthusiasts to dive into the world of cybersecurity.
Dr. Ir. Charles Lim BSc., MSc., A cybersecurity researcher and lecturer at Swiss German University, Charles Lim collaborates closely with Indonesia’s National Cyber and Crypto Agency (Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara, BSSN) as an independent researcher. He is a seasoned IT security consultant and trainer, holding various professional security certifications in areas such as cloud security, incident response, threat intelligence, and security analysis from EC-Council and CompTIA. He is a four-time recipient of the ISIF Asia Research Grants in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023.
His academic background includes a Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering from Universitas Indonesia and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hawaii, USA. His research interests are diverse, covering malware analysis, digital forensics, cloud security, and threat intelligence. Additionally, he is an active member of several cybersecurity communities, including the Indonesia Honeynet Project (IHP), ACAD CSIRT (Academy Computer Security Incident Response Team), and the Indonesia Digital Forensics Association (AFDI), where he contributes to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Mr Charles Lim will talk about The “Development of Honeynet Threat Sharing Platform” project uses honeypots to collect and share cyber threat data, enhancing cybersecurity across ASEAN and Asia Pacific regions.
The project aims to enhance cybersecurity defenses by creating a system that collects, categorizes, and shares data on cyberthreats. Utilizing honeypots—decoy systems designed to attract attackers—the platform tracks and analyzes interactions to provide a comprehensive view of current cyberthreats. This collaborative effort involves multiple organizations, including government, community, and academic institutions, to gather and disseminate relevant threat intelligence. The project’s implementation began in Indonesia and is expanding to ASEAN and Asia Pacific regions, promoting a collective approach to cyberdefense.
The platform’s architecture allows for the integration of various honeypot types, offering a public dashboard for real-time threat monitoring. With the continuous rise of cyberthreats, this initiative serves as a crucial tool for organizations to proactively share and respond to potential security incidents. The ultimate goal is to establish a stable, intelligent threat sharing network that supports a wide range of organizations across different sectors and regions. This presentation will detail the platform’s development, challenges faced, and the impact on enhancing regional cybersecurity collaboration.
