This presentation reviews the important prosecutions, precedents and legal opinions of the last year that affect internet and computer security. We will discuss the differences between legal decisions from criminal cases and civil lawsuits and what that means to the security professional. Additionally, we look at topics such as: email retention and discovery; active response; use of CFAA as non-competition methods; identity theft and notifi....
Satellite imagery was once restricted to organizations like CTU, but now it is freely available to us all via powerful free online tools and commercial services. In this talk we will look at commercial collection platforms and capabilities, orbital mechanics and a variety of imagery analysis techniques. We will analyze examples from interesting places around the world and explore issues surrounding the future of satellite surveillance. ..
The core of the security problem is that most software contains latent bugs, and many of these bug can be exploited by attackers to cause the software to do something undesirable to the victim's computer. To block this threat, one can either use only perfect software (of which there is a shortage :) or use a security system to control what software may and may not do. The problem is that such systems are historically very difficult to use....
Careers in information security are often difficult to navigate, with the industry changing more and more radically every year. We're going to talk about the important skills, traits and knowledge that a security pro needs, not just the usual stuff (like "go get a CISSP"), we're going to come from the perspective of two people who spend much of their time talking to hiring managers and companies looking for security stars, as well as talkin....
Ever wanted to hijack a connection between machines on a LAN, deny service between a host you're attacking and a log server or intrusion detection system, or maybe wanted to sniff traffic on a switched network? Now you can! Er, wait... You already could with the ARP attacks we all know and love. While these network attacks are quite effective, they do have their weaknesses, as well as security controls to help prevent them. In this ....

Security researchers around the world have been SLAPPed (strategic lawsuits against public participation) across the face by vulnerable software vendors. Bogus legal threats intended to intimidate and prevent public exposure of vulnerabilities are becoming increasingly common. If the software industry succeeds at silencing these researchers the public, governments, global industries, and end user customers are ill served and increasingly....
What would you do if you had a massive collection of malware? What secrets could you uncover? This rapid fire presentation seeks to reveal some of these secrets based on the analysis of Offensive Computing's large malware collection. (Over 100,000 samples) What are malware author's commonly using to pack their binaries? What are the rarest packers, and could this indicated a targeted attack? How do Anti-Virus companies generally perform on ....
Runtime code coverage analysis is feasible and useful when application source code is not available. An evolutionary test tool receiving such statistics can use that information as fitness for pools of sessions to actively learn the interface protocol. We call this activity grey-box fuzzing. We intend to show that, when applicable, grey-box fuzzing is more effective at finding bugs than RFC compliant or capture-replay mutation black-box ....
Firstly, I will be covering the basics of SCADA networks and give a general overview of the SCADA protocols namely Modbus, DNP3, ICCP and IEC standards. North America mainly uses Modbus, DNP3 and to an extent ICCP, the European countries use the IEC standards. After the basics I will be getting into the finer details of the protocols as to what function code, internal indication flags does what and how that can be used to attack or take dow....

Today there is a lot of hype around some new proof-of-concept technology or around politically motivated trojans, etc. This talk will deliver a reality check, give an idea what kind of malware the McAfee Research organisation is actually seeing to be used in the real world and show how the different trojans work, what the impact is. The material used are internal statistics of the various threats sent to or discovered by us, some more detai....
Ever wonder just what rules law enforcement must follow? When do the police have to read you the Miranda Warnings? Who is subject to a Stop and Frisk? When does Double Jeopardy apply. What does a cop actually have to know before they can legally stop you? What is the effect of an Invalid arrest? Just when can the SWAT team kick your door without knocking first? When must an officer have a search warrant? During the "Ask the Crimi..
I will talk about the evolution and differences of the hacking communities around the world. Why and how this affects the hackers being taken to the corporate life, motivations, or just why is it better to stay totally underground. How companies attract and manage hackers, and how the scare them away. Computers are cool now, like the tshirt says, and small kids already know what ip addresses are, how to use netstat, etc. Is security gonna b....
Kernel vulnerabilities are often deemed unexploitable or at least unlikely to be exploited reliably. Although it's true that kernel-mode exploitation often presents some new challenges for exploit developers, it still all boils down to "creative debugging" and knowledge about the target in question. This talk intends to demystify kernel-mode exploitation by demonstrating the analysis and reliable exploitation of three different kernel....
There is a pervasive dream about a free Internet which is robust, fully decentralized yet efficient, and which ensures privacy for all users. For seven years, the Freenet project has been the most visible embodiment of this vision. This talk will show that the recent 0.7 release of Freenet -- marketed to solve most of the problems -- entirely fails to deliver. Freenet 0.7 promises efficient routing in restricted-ro....

The simple decision by a researcher to tell what he or she has discovered about a software product or website can be very complicated both legally and ethically. The applicable legal rules are complicated, there isn't necessarily any precedent, and what rules there are may be in flux. In this presentation, I will use Cisco and ISS's lawsuit against Michael Lynn (from Black Hat 2005) and HID's cease and desist letter to IOActive (from ....
This presentation is an introduction to hardware design and reverse engineering, with an eye towards developing an individual laboratory for future exploration.

The focus is on getting the tools for low or no cost. From there, we cover the forward engineering process, inclu....
Malware has come a long way since it consisted mostly of small-scale (if prolific) nuisances perpetrated by script kiddies. Today, it's increasingly being created by professional programmers and managed by international criminal organisations. This talk will look at the methods and technology employed by the professional malware idustry, which is turning out "product" that matches (and in some cases even exceeds) the sophistication of st....
Sysmin The Hacker Pimps Marklar The Hacker Pimps This presentation focuses on analysis and strategies in dealing with systems that gather information, more specifically, personal information.

A new classification method is introduced for the classification of attacks on information gath....
We present the INTERSTATE fuzzer to detect security vulnerabilities in VOIP phones which implement Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). INTERSTATE generates an input sequence for a SIP phone which is constructed to reveal common security vulnerabilities. SIP is a stateful protocol so a state machine description of the SIP protocol is used by INTERSTATE to ensure that the entire state space is explored. The input sequence consists of SIP reque....
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries." - Quote taken from http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/ The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) has long been touted as the replacement for the traditional BIOS and was chosen by Apple as the pre-bo....
What happens when you combine a natural hacker, a computer controlled car, and security consultant's discretionary income spent on a pile of parts? A four cylinder, 2.5 liter, 500hp monster daily driver that runs on pump gas. (Pump gas plus computer controlled methanol injection for that extra umph.) If you love the smell of gasoline and want to learn about performance tuning and ECU hacking, then this presentation is for you. If you h....
GeoLocation of 802.11b Access Points is not a trivial task. As wardrivers who?ve stumbled various networks with a GPS unit will attest, "Netstumbler doesn't provide the real location of access points". Instead, it provides an estimate of where the software thinks they are. Why should this be so? In a comparative sport made popular by the proliferation of portable GPS units, GeoCachers routinely find their "caches" or treasures with amazi....

This session will show provide examples and insights into the prob....
I've been giving talks on how FPGAs are cool for the past couple of years at Defcon, so what's different this year? Well, I'll be releasing a couple of new tools. BTCrack is a Bluetooth PIN cracker that will allow you to crack 8-digit Bluetooth PINs on an FPGA or 5-digit PINs on your computer in real-time (Longer PINs require a little more time) using a capture of the pairing process. The other tool, WinZipCrack will let you cra....
BGP Prefix hijacks take the IP addresses of others and make them your own. This talk provides a chilling account of the current use of prefix hijacks by spammers in a successful effort to defeat RBL's. Placed within the context of the history of the spamwar, this talk makes clear the grim future we face if we continue to escalate the spam war into the network layer; namely a future where every spammer on earth can arbitrarily choose and ....
Design bugs are really difficult to fix -- nobody ever takes a dependency on a buffer overflow, after all. Few things have had their design stretched as far as the web; as such, I've been starting to take a look at some interesting aspects of the "Web 2.0" craze. Here's a few things I've been looking at: Slirpie: VPN'ing into Protected Networks With Nothing But A Lured Web Browser. Part of the design of the web is that browsers are ab....
There is always a possibility to get infected by some malware, i.e. by surfing the web and catching the malware that uses some new exploit in your browser. What should you do then? Do you know what is available on Windows system to fight malware? The problem of fighting malware on Windows is the limitation of basically available tools. I am going to show you some tricks that will let you do some complicated actions using ONLY components of ....
