Something about Network Security Dan Kaminsky IOActive Dan Kaminsky is the Director of Penetration Testing for Seattle-based IOActive, where he is greatly enjoying having minions. Formerly of Cisco and Avaya, Dan was most recently one of the "Blue Hat Hackers" tasked with auditing Microsoft's Vista client and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. He specializes in absurdly large scale network sweeps, strange packet tricks, and de..

Automated Malware Similarity Analysis Daniel Raygoza DC3 / General Dynamics While it is fairly straightforward for a malware analyst to compare two pieces of malware for code reuse, it is not a simple task to scale to thousands of pieces of code. Many existing automated approaches focus on runtime analysis and critical trait extraction through signatures, but they don't focus on code reuse. Automated code reuse detection can help mal....

Reverse Engineering By Crayon: Game Changing Hypervisor Based Malware Analysis and Visualization Danny Quist CEO, Offensive Computing Lorie M. Liebrock New Mexico Tech Computer Science Department Recent advances in hypervisor based application profilers have changed the game of reverse engineering. These powerful tools have made it orders of magnitude easier to reverse engineer and enabled the next generation of analysis techniques....

Confidence Game Theater Cough Security Researcher This presentation will include a brief discussion of the history, nature, and basic principles behind Confidence Games. For the bulk of the presentation we will be acting out some Confidence Games in skit form. Cough is an amateur historian with a strong interest in crimes of deception.

AAPL- Automated Analog Telephone Logging Da Beave Security Researcher JFalcon Security Researcher Since 1983 when Hollywood introduced "Wardialing" to the public, there has been little change in the methods involved. While some pieces of hardware attempted to take it beyond what was essentially a telephonic "ping" scan, the methods and technology didn't maintain that momentum. However, thanks to modern computing and open source sof....

RFID MythBusting Chris Paget Founder, H4RDW4RE LLC This presentation is about challenging many of the popular preconceptions about RFID technology. "Short-range" will be shot down first (I'm aiming to set a half-mile world record in the Nevada desert just before Defcon), "secure" will be busted second (don't bring _any_ RFID tags unless you want them cloned), "immune to electromagnetic pulse weaponry" will fall last (and hopefully mo..

Subverting the World Of Warcraft API Christopher Mooney Software Engineer, Project DoD Inc. James Luedke Software Engineer, Project DoD Inc. The authors will demonstrate how to work within the World of Warcraft API framework to re-enable the features of protected and disabled functions. They will explain their library and how to use it to get around the restrictions on programmatically casting spells, targeting, moving, and perform....

Manipulation and Abuse of the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Christopher Soghoian This talk will present a number of loopholes and exploits against the system of consumer credit in the United States that can enable a careful attacker to hugely leverage her (or someone else's) credit report for hundreds of thousands of dollars. While the techniques outlined in this talk have been used for the personal (and legal) profit by a small....
