TALK INFORMATION:

Introduction to Reversing
by Doug Hiwiller

Abstract:
Reverse engineering of software can be fun and informational for infosec
professionals… and occasionally necessary. This talk will discuss basic
reverse code engineering (RCE) techniques and provide an introduction to
OllyDbg.

Manually Unpacking Malware
by Tyler Hudak

Abstract:
Attackers often pack malware to make analysis harder. Unfortunately,
unpackers do not always exist and analysts must resort to manually
unpacking malware. This talk will provide a brief introduction into the
techniques that can be used to unpack malware.

Talks:

Cracking Passwords with Rainbow Tables by David Lauer

A quick demo of how easy it is to configure a flash drive to crack
passwords. When I say fast I mean fast. No death by PowerPoint here.
Just a quick intro to the concepts and on to the demo!

OSM (Awesome) Botnet Communications by Stephen Mather

What are the theoretical vulnerabilities of versioned geospatial datasets, e.g. for use as bot communications?  Multiple methods for providing wiki-style versioned geospatial datasets exist, from Versioned Web Feature Service (WFS) to OpenStreetMap’s (OSM) infrastructure, to proprietary approaches, and emerging standards, e.g. GeoGit.  Vulnerabilities to abuse these systems as encoding structures may be subtler than twitter bot net encoding.  This talk will briefly introduce OSM, WFS, and GeoGit, and solicit thoughts on ways versioned geospatial wiki style infrastructure may be vulnerable to abuses.

Don’t forget to come early, starting at 6:00 PM, for pizza and pop courtesy of SecureState (http://securestate.com/).

Another great meeting from NEO Info Sec Forum – we hope to see you there!
