Amazon Connect training

I recently attended a partner training session for the Amazon Connect product.  This pay as you go call center product has the potential to disrupt the call center industry as it matures.  You can build a fully functional call center in minutes using this product.  I really enjoyed this class and I recommend it to Amazon partners and customers.  

The class was hosted by Angela Krisinger and Milos Cosic and they were absolutely wonderful instructors.  

Overview of Amazon Connect:

• Announced in March of 2016 at Enterprise Connect https://www.nojitter.com/post/240172527/aws-announces-amazon-connect
• Amazon created it to meet their contact center needs and internally called GACD or Global Automatic Call Distribution
• Amazon's internal product also supports messaging, so expect that as a future feature
• Lex Chatbots are based upon Amazon Alexa's backend services, so the call center is AI ready
• Connect user Polly for Text to speech
• Lambda is used for all function calls and supports various programming languages
• DynamoDB is typically used for a Database, but many other options are available
• S3 and Glacier are the storage medium
• Quick Starts are easy integrations that AWS makes publicly available for use.  They use CloudFormation to quickly deploy code, set permissions, and build infrastructure.  https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/connect/
• Amazon Connect is an "API first" platform, but many features have not been exposed as of yet.
• The connect softphone interface is WebRTC based
• There is NO support for SIP endpoints
• There is NO support for BYOT, but they do support agents logging into a desk/cell phone via a PSTN number
• All numbers use E.164 format in the platform
• Call Recording is supported out of the box and does 3 options for recording
• Agent Only
• Customer Only
• Both
• Support for many compliance standards including GDPR

AWS Connect Prerequisites (PDF)

Please create an AWS Account in advance, as you’ll be using your own account for
Lab exercises (modules) or this course. Make sure that you have full access to the
following AWS services: Amazon Connect, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, Amazon
DynamoDB, Amazon Polly and Amazon Lex. AWS CLI is also required, installed and
configured in advance. The instructions are given in the following section.
During the course, we are going to use us-east-1 region for all Lab exercises
(modules). This is mandatory as all required services are available in this region.
AWS Command Line Interface (CLI)

Permissions
You will need to give Amazon Connect permission to execute your AWS Lambda
functions. This action is performed through the AWS CLI. You will need to have the
AWS CLI installed and configured through the aws configure command.
Note: please be sure to configure the AWS CLI for the same region as your Amazon
Connect instance, in our case us-east-1.
For AWS CLI installation instructions, please reference:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html

For AWS CLI configuration instructions, please reference:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html

Creating Crypto Keys
To configure AWS CLI, you need an Access Key, which consists of an Access Key ID
and Secret Access Key. If you don’t have access keys, you can create them by using
AWS IAM from your AWS Management Console.
Note: We recommend that you use IAM access keys instead of AWS root account access
keys. To create access keys, you must have permissions to perform the required IAM
actions.
To obtain your access keys:
1. Open the IAM console
2. In the navigation pane, choose Users
3. Choose your IAM User Name (not the checkbox)
4. Choose the Security Credentials tab and then choose Create Access Key
5. To see your access key, choose Show User Security Credentials. Your
credentials will look something like this:
a. Access Key ID: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
b. Secret Access Key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
6. Choose Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location
Your secret key will no longer be available through the AWS Management Console;
you will have the only copy. Keep it confidential in order to protect your account, and
never email it. Do not share it outside your organization, even if an inquiry appears to
come from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately represents Amazon will
ever ask you for your secret key.

Using AWS Lambda to grant permissionsOptionally, you can use a Lambda function to grant permissions for Amazon Connect
to Invoke another Lambda Function. In this case, AWS CLI is not required. Please
implement this Lambda function in advance.
1. Open the AWS Console
2. Select US East (N. Virginia) region
3. Select AWS Lambda from services menu
4. Select Create function
5. Select Author from scratch
6. Name: AmazonConnect_GrantPermission
7. Runtime: Node.js 6.10
8. Role: Create a custom role
9. In the pop-up form, set Role Name:
Lambda_AmazonConnect_GrantPermission
10. Expand View Policy Document
11. Select Edit
12. Edit the policy by adding “lambda:AddPermission”
13. Review the form and select Create function
14. Below is sample code for the Lambda function:
15. Save the function
16. You can test you function by creating a test event payload, with the function
name:
17. At this point, your Lambda function would fail, as “TestLambdaFunction”
function does not exist yet. We are going to use this event, with proper
function name, later in the Lab exercises.

Once Prerequisites are complete begin lab...

New BioHack NR

As we age it has been scientifically proven that NAD levels in the body decrease dramatically with age.  Recently a startup company has created a new form of Vitamin B3 called Nicotinimide Ribosome or NR.  This molecule is currently patented and sold under the brand name Niagin.  Biohackers are using it as a tool to increase your healthspan.  After 30 days of taking Niagin they claim that it increases your NAD levels in the body by up to 40%. 

I have had my doubts as to the validity of these studies, but I have began testing this myself to see if it has any positive effects on me.  So far after 30 days, I have noticed slight weight loss of about 5 lbs with no exercise.  I also notice that I have more energy and my skin seems softer.  I haven't ruled out other factors, but just my observations as of now. 

I also found this article interesting from the bulletproof blog from one of the inventors of Niagen:
https://blog.bulletproof.com/charles-brenner/

Don't confuse Vitamin B3 (Niacin) with Vitamin B3 (NR) because I have taken Niacin in the past and it causes my skin to flush red and my heart to race with supplementation.

I am interested in learning more about bio-hacking and anti-aging products.  I have read several books on the topic and I have found this hack very promising with little risk.  Some other topics that are of interest to me are intermittent fasting, keto diets, and the gut microbiome. 

After going through cancer treatments, I have learned the importance of food on your overall health and food is by far the best medicine. 

I will continue to experiment with biohacking and tracking my results through uBiome, my weight, and other lifestyle qualitative attributes.

The new Helium blockchain whitepaper is very interesting to me, because it uses what is called Proof-of-Coverage and Proof-of-Serialization instead of proof of work as a verification method.  I look forward to seeing some proof of concepts using this technology for IoT.

Avaya's New Zang.io

I am interested to see how this new offering from Avaya called Zang.io will work out.  I have seen it used in the Enterprise Connect Hack-a-Thon, but I am curious how real customers will use it.  I will need to follow up on this.  Avaya is really trying to make a comeback, but it may be a bit late.  We will see.

Hacking Embedded hardware video

I am trying to learn more about how hackers might be able to compromise factory IoT devices in an attempt to help find ways to prevent these types of attacks and I found this interesting video from a 34C3 presentation.

How to Hack SCADA from 34C3: https://youtu.be/Itgwb3rn7gE

34C3 - SCADA - Gateway to (s)hell

Hacking industrial control gateways

Small gateways connect all kinds of field busses to IP systems. This talk will look at the (in)security of those gateways, starting with simple vulnerabilities, and then deep diving into reverse-engineering the firmware and breaking the encryption of firmware upgrades. The found vulnerabilities will then be demonstrated live on a portable SCADA system.

Companies often utilize small gateway devices to connect the different field-busses used in industrial control systems (such as Modbus, RS232 etc) to TCP/IP networks. Under the hood, these devices are mostly comprised of ARM-based mini computers, running  either custom, tiny operating systems or uClinux/Linux. The talk will look at the security aspects of these gateways by examining known and unfixed vulnerabilities like unchangeable default credentials, protocols that do not support authentication, and reverse engineering and breaking the encryption of firmware upgrades of certain gateways.

The talk will consist of a theoretical part, an introduction on how to reverse-engineer and find vulnerabilities in a firmware-blob of unknown format, and a practical part, showcasing a live ICS environment that utilizes gateways, from both the IP and  the field-bus side, to pivot through an industrial control system environment: Demonstrating how to potentially pivot from a station in the field up to the SCADA headquarters, permanently modifying the firmware of the gateways on the way.

My ESP8266 Notes

The ESP8266 module is one of my favorite IoT modules to play with, because of its low price and ease of use.  Right now you can get one for as low as $2/board with everything you need.  Ordering on Amazon will cost you around $8-$20, but I bought one to experiment with from Amazon before making a bulk order from China on ebay to get better pricing.

Setup Arduino Libraries for ESP8266 and IRController blueprint (source)

1. Install Arduino IDE
2. Install ESP8266 Arduino Core
3. Install the following libraries from the Arduino IDE Library Manager: ESP8266WebServer ESP8266WiFi ArduinoJson WiFiManager NTPClient IRremoteESP8266 as well as Cryptosuite which is not on the IDE
4. Load the IRController.ino blueprint from this repository
5. Upload blueprint to your ESP8266 (the .ino file). Monitor via serial at 115200 baud rate
6. Device will boot into WiFi access point mode initially with SSID IRBlaster Configuration, IP address 192.168.4.1. Connect to this and configure your access point settings using WiFi Manager. If your router supports mDNS/Bonjour you can now access your device on your local network via the hostname you specified (http://hostname.local:port/), otherwise via its local IP address (this IP address is displayed on the serial output)
7. Forward whichever port your ESP8266 web server is running on so that it can be accessed from outside your local network, this is critical since Alexa commands come from Amazon's servers, not locally
8. Download the IR Controller Alexa skill and start creating your devices. Each IR command will require a URL which can be saved. Choose whichever functionality you desire. Information on creating the URLs can be found below
