Abstract: This presentation looks at several scenarios of aggressive self defense. It applies the law to each of the participants in various schemes to the aggressor and to the defender. We see where simple self defense options could actually result in prosecution to the aggressor; prosecution of the defender; prosecution of both; or, be faulted for screwing up an investigation rendering a prosecution impossible. Many of the legal rationale....

Abou el-Sid is located in Zamalek along the Sharia 26th of July. The doorman for the hotel hailed a cab for us (and got a bit of baksheesh for that, I don’t know if that was right), and negotiated an overpriced fee. :-) The traffic is seeming more and more what people warn that Cairo traffic will be like. Previously, we’ve felt that despite the messiness of the picture, things have been managable.
Philip R. Zimmermann is the creator of Pretty Good Privacy. For that, he was the target of a three-year criminal investigation, because the government held that US export restrictions for cryptographic software were violated when PGP spread all around the world following its 1991 publication as freeware. Despite the lack of funding, the lack of any paid staff, the lack of a company to stand behind it, and despite government persecution, PGP..

Abstract: Trusted computing is not inherently evil. It sounds scary, but it's true. While the public perception of trusted computing is that content providers will use trusted computing to enforce their digital rights and take away our civil liberties (whew! a mouthful), the reality is that there is a lot of good to be done by trusted computing. For more than thirty years, computer scientists have been trying to find ways to make trusted ....
Abstract: The proliferation of malware is a serious problem, which grows in sophistication and complexity every day, but with this growth, comes a price. The price that malware pays for advanced features and sophistication is increased vulnerability to attack. Malware is a system, just like an OS or application. Systems employ security mechanisms to defend themselves and also suffer from vulnerabilities which can be exploited. Malware is n....
Abstract: Smart phones are the new favorite target of many attackers. Also most current attacks are harmless, since these mostly rely on user mistake or lack of better knowledge. Current attacks are mostly based on logic errors rather then code inject and often are only found by accident. The talk will show some real attacks against smart phones and the kind of vulnerability analysis which lead to their discovery. Bio: Collin Mulliner is..

In this talk, the technology and capabilities of US-VISIT ....
Abstract: Security analysis is severely complicated by the size and abundance of executable code. Existing concepts and code can be combined, obfuscated, packed, and hidden toward the ends of evading detection and frustrating analysis. Is that patch fixing the problem it claims to fix? Have you seen that malicious code before? Have you seen these particular motifs/style before? All very interesting questions, some of which can be addresse....
Phishing, it starts with 'Ph' for a reason. Some best practices to detect and prevent for some new point of attack methods. When banks and other financial institutions tell their customers to only give personal information (e.g.: Credit Card, Social Security Number, ETC) via the telephone, because of online attacks from phishers, that's when phishers get creative and go back to what the root of phishing has been and blend it with some new ..
Abstract: In 2002 the President issued an Executive Order authorizing the National Security Agency (NSA) to wiretap phone and email communications involving United States persons within the U.S., without obtaining a warrant or court order pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), which prohibits such unauthorized electronic surveillance. Investigate the technology timeline regarding this Contentious activity. Th....
Abstract: It's hard to prosecute someone if you can't prove what they did. In this session, we will quickly cover 10 easy ways to cover your tracks using Mac OS X. The features of Mac OS X at the GUI level were in a lot of ways designed to cater to the paranoid (eg. Steve Jobs). Underneath the hood, using some easily scriptable techniques you can cover your tracks in such a way that will make it easy to hide what you?ve done as well as your....
Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are remotely-powered data carriers that augment physical objects with wireless computing abilities. This allows us to create smart homes and offices, optimize our supply chains, and keep a watchful eye on our pets, livestock, and kids. But unfortunately, RFID security and privacy issues have been addressed as an afterthought; it is regretfully easy to interfere with RFID systems, as many....
Abstract: The OODA Loop theory was conceived by Col John Boyd, AF fighter pilot. He believed that a pilot in a lethal engagement that could Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act (OODA) before his adversary had a better chance to survive. He considered air combat an art rather than a science. John Boyd proved air combat could be codified; for every maneuver there is a series of counter maneuvers and there is a counter to every counter. Today, suc....
Abstract: The Mac OS X operating system is beautiful, but it?s not as secure as you think. It?s mostly Unix under that shiny GUI and while we?ve come to expect a very locked down system from recent Unix/Linux releases, that expectation isn?t entirely realistic when it comes to OS X. For instance, the firewall GUI tool makes it seem like you can create a default-deny firewall that only lets packets from established sessions in. The firewall ....

Abstract: The ability to both conceal and detect hidden data on the hard drive of a compromised computer represents an important arms-race between hackers and forensic analysts. While rootkits and other kernel manipulation tools make hiding on live systems fairly easy, the trick of hiding data from forensic tools and offline drive analysis is much more difficult. In this presentation, we will review traditional data hiding techniques, exam....
Abstract: Apple claims not to care about the enterprise market, but there is no doubt that Apple networks are growing. The number of Apple systems in enterprise networks are growing as well. For security purposes it is becoming more and more important to manage these systems in the same way that we manage Windows clients. In this session we will cover the tools that Apple and some 3rd party organizations have been quietly building for use....
Abstract: In the age of NSA phone taps, mandatory data retention, CALEA, the PATRIOT Act, and national firewalls, establishing a truly covert communications channel without leaving a trail is becoming almost impossible. Even when strong encryption is used to protect the message, Government agencies now have the ability to use pattern analysis to pinpoint almost all participants in the conversation. Without tremendous diligence, truly anony....
Abstract: Event and Log Analysis is becoming one of the main tools for security analysts to investigate and comprehend the state of their networks, hosts, and applications. Recent developments, such as regulatory compliance requirements and an increased focus on insider threat has increased the demand for analytical tools to help in the process. Event correlation is one of the tools that helps addressing the challenges. However, the vast a....
