Talks:

Network Printer Vulnerabilities by Tom Kopchak

Security professionals must be aware of numerous attack vectors and
threats that face their networks.  All too often, some devices are
forgotten or ignored.  Printers are a staple of a corporate environment,
and are frequently among the least secure elements of any network.  Tom
will explore the vulnerabilities associated with networked printers,
potential attacks that can be leveraged using these devices, and
solutions for mitigating and managing these threats.

And a special presentation by IronGeek!

Don’t forget to come early, starting at 6:00 PM, for pizza and pop!

With this amazing new invention, the radio, your eavesdropping options can be multiplied! Come to this talk to learn techniques for discovering, monitoring and exploiting a wide array of radio traffic with real world examples illustrating how these techniques have been used to gather information on a target's physical security, personnel and standard operating procedures. Matt's BIO: Matt Neely (CISSP, CTGA, GCIH and GCWN) is the Profiling Team Manager at SecureState, a Cleveland, Ohio based security consulting company. At SecureState Matt leads a team of consultants who perform traditional penetration tests, physical penetration tests, web application security reviews and wireless security assessments. His research interests include the convergence of physical and logical security, lock and lock picking, cryptography and all things wireless. Matt is also a host on the Security Justice podcast. Title: Embedded Strings Obfuscation – Tyler Hudak, General Electric Strings embedded in malware can reveal a lot of useful information to analysts. However, attackers are using a number of different techniques to obfuscate these strings to make analysis more difficult. This talk will discuss the various techniques used and how analysts can overcome them. Tyler's BIO: Raised under the watchful eyes of the elves of Rivendell, Tyler was trained in the ancient art of malware analysis. During the battle for Middle Earth against Sauron, Tyler worked in secrecy to reverse engineer the Great Virus of Sarumon, thus giving the good races of Middle Earth an advantage over the evil forces of Sauron. He currently works for GE.
