PXE Hacking 101: From Network Boot to Credential Extraction
Žan Urbančič, Danijela Šantak

Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a widely used network boot technology that allows machines to boot over a network without local storage. However, this convenience comes with security risks. In this session, we will explore how PXE works and how attackers can exploit misconfigurations to extract passwords and gain unauthorized access. Through practical demonstrations, we will analyze real-world attack scenarios, discuss potential countermeasures, and provide security best practices to defend against PXE-based attacks.
