Whats in a name? How do you know you should "trust" the content you are receiving? In today's World Wide Web, we place a lot of "trust" into domain names. For many, domain names help determine the whether a particular link or file should be trusted, or eyed with suspicion. Domain name trust has even made its way into security systems, considering many of the protections built into our browsers are based strictly on domain names! In this talk, we'll take a look at some simple ways to store and

Every day billions of dollars pass through middleware, the unglamorous component of most enterprise applications. Middleware may be unglamorous, but even if billions of dollars doesn't interest you, it's bound to attract someone's interest sooner or later. Often security is addressed in the front-end web server and back-end database but the other components are often ignored. The reason for this can be a lack of understanding of the risks or lack of knowledge of the middleware products and how they

Networks are central do almost everything that hackers do. Be they computer networks, peer-to-peer networks, information networks, or social networks, they are all around us and understanding them is the key to understanding both the strengths and vulnerabilities of our world. The speaker, a mathematician working in the field of complex networks, will introduce the modern mathematics of networks, and how it can be applied to real-world situations. In particular, we will look at the small-world

Security is both a feeling and a reality. You can feel secure without actually being secure, and you can be secure even though you don't feel secure. In the industry, we tend to discount the feeling in favor of the reality, but the difference between the two is important. It explains why we have so much security theater that doesn't work, and why so many smart security solutions go unimplemented. Two different fields?behavioral economics and the psychology of decision making'shed light on how we

Too often, "Computer History" gets shoved into a forgotten bin of irrelevancy, devoid of use for lessons and understanding. Even more often, people often fail to realize they're making history themselves. Jason Scott will walk though the basics of computer history, what to save, how to ensure things last for future generations, or perhaps how to ensure it's never found again. Jason Scott is a hard-core computer historian now celebrating 25 years online, starting when he was 11. He's the

Utu is the Maori word for a system of revenge used by Maori society to provide social controls and retribution. Utu is also a protocol that uses cryptographic models of social interaction to allow peers to vote on their dislike of other peer's behavior. The goal of Utu is to experiment with the effects of bringing identity, reputation, and retribution to human communications on the Internet. A secondary goal is wiping out IRC because apparently nobody really likes IRC.

RDS-TMC is a standard based on RDS (Radio Data System) for communicating over FM radio Traffic Information for Satellite Navigation Systems. All modern in-car Satellite Navigation systems sold in Europe use RDS-TMC to receive broadcasts containing up to date information about traffic conditions such as queues and accidents and provide detours in case they affect the plotted course. The system is increasingly being used around Europe and North America. The audience will be introduced to

2006/01/09

The process of obfuscating intermediate platform independent code, such as Java bytecode or Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code aims to make the source code generated by reverse engineering much less useful to an attacker or competitor. This talk focuses on the examination of fingerprinting particular obfuscators and provides a tool capable of cracking key obfuscation processes performed. As more programming languages use intermediate platform techniques on compiled code, the vision behind this

You're over the line," an intelligence professional told Richard Thieme recently. "You know enough to know what's not true but you can't know enough to know what is. You're well into the wilderness of mirrors." Hacking one complex system is always in some ways like hacking another. You must see nested levels of the context that others assume and which is therefore invisible, you must see through the story that the system tells about itself, and you must have a means of filtering out

DEFCON 15 [Audio] Speeches from the hacker conventions ·

2006/01/09

Privacy is an increasingly scarce commodity. It is a state that must be preserved, and in many cases, enforced. In prior history, you could expect your person and affects to be relatively private, however with so much data available for mining, and so many practices eroding ones privacy, one can have little to no expectation of privacy, unless you provide it to yourself. The problem in the past has been that encryption, networking, and anonymity were difficult beasts to grasp, much less to use. With

Real-time Transfer Protocol (RTP) is used almost ubiquitously by Voice over IP technologies to provide an audio channel for calls. As such, it provides ample opportunity for creation of a covert communications channel due to it's very nature and use in implementation. While use of steganographic techniques with various audio cover-mediums has been extensively researched, most applications of such have been limited to audio cover-medium of a static nature such as WAV or MP3 file audio data.

But are these, and other console game systems, just for fun and games? Could they be used for other purposes?? Yes they can. With the advent of more powerful consoles many systems have the ability to do just about anything - after all they are still computers.

DEFCON 15 [Audio] Speeches from the hacker conventions ·

2006/01/09

Fuzzing and other runtime testing techniques are great at finding certain kinds of bugs. The trick is, effective fuzzing requires a lot of customization. The fuzzer needs to understand the protocol being spoken, anticipate the kinds of things that could go wrong in the program, and have some way to judge whether or not the program has gone into a tailspin. Get this setup wrong, and you end up fuzzing the wrong thing, exercising and re-exercising trivial paths through the program, or

Currently, those interested in learning how to professionally conduct Information System Penetration Tests have very little options available to them - they can either illegally attack Internet-connected systems, or create their own PenTest Lab. For those who prefer to avoid legal complications, they really only have the last option - a lab. However, this can be a very complicated and expensive alternative. In addition, scenarios have to be created that actually represent real-world scenarios; for a
