< Program for HotBots'07 / Rishi | Call for Paper: 5th ACM Workshop on Recurring Malware (WORM) 2007 >

chmod 777 Apple

It's again time for CanSecWest, taking place in Vancouver this week. I teach a course on honeypots today and the conference itself starts tomorrow. The program looks really good, especially looking forward to see Jose's talk on "Reverse Engineering Malicious Javascript", "Post-Mortem RAM Forensics", and Ilja's "Unusual Bugs" talk.

Dragos has announced a contest, in which you can win a Apple MacBook Pro:
We've announced that we will be having a contest "PWN to OWN" where two, pimp, loaded up, Apple Macbook Pro's will be set up on their own AP (with security updates but otherwise default) and attendees will be able to connect to the ethernet or WiFi. The first to exploit it (there are victory conditions, and progressive rules over the three days) gets to go home with it. (Limit one per person, Can't use the same vuln on both.) If they survive the three days in the "jungle," they become prizes for best lightning talk and best speaker. Detailed contest rules to follow shortly.
