Topic 2 - Stratagem 1 "Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Seas”

Presenter: Jayson E. Street
As the network perimeter hardens and the controls on the desktop tightens. Hackers are going back to the basics and getting through the firewall by going through the front door. They are bypassing the IPS and IDS simply by bypassing the receptionist.

We look at this topic with a different viewpoint. We look at the history of social engineering from Amenhotep 3 to Sinon of Greece as well as how the culture of the country you're in dictates the strategy to use. All this shown in an offbeat way showing how 1st century strategies can still be used to beak into 21st century networks.

Topic 4 - Web Application Hacking – The Untold “Live”

Presenter: Joseph McCray
Joe will show how a malicious website, laced with javascript malware, can steal passwords for other websites stored in Firefox’s password manager using nothing but garden variety Cross-Site Scripting. Did you know about javascript’s ability to mine out HTML form auto-complete data in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (about one-third of the Web), which could be used to reveal a users first name, last name, aliases, email addresses, physical address, etc? How about forcing Web browsers to evict all of their cookies -- thereby automatically logging users out of all their current sessions, delete tracking cookies, and so on? Joe will show these all well-documented but not so publicized techniques employed by hackers.

02.30pm

Topic 5 - Cut The Crab, and Let Me Show You Why They Hack

Presenter: Haja Mohideen
Haja will showcase how cybercrime has evolved and how complex and sophisticated the criminal network can be.

03.30pm Afternoon Refreshment (30 minutes)
04.00pm

Topic 6 - Pen Testing A Virtualization System “Live”

Presenter: TBC
Virtualization systems are nowadays ubiquitus in enterprises of any size. Penetration testers and security auditors, however, often overlook virtualization infrastructures, simply looking at the virtual machines without any direct analysis of the underlying solution, not to mention those analyses simply marking virtual environments as "not-compliant".

A different, new approach is required to assess such systems, defining new targets and new ways to get there. This talk will outline procedures and approaches, complete with tools and demos, to execute a penetration test or a design review on virtualization environments. Security experts eager to know more about these systems and sysops willing to protect their own fortress will find this talk interesting

05.00pm

Topic 7 - How Can Botnets Make One A Millionaire?

Presenter: Gunter Ollman
Starting a life of Internet crime is easy; in fact you’ve probably already doing it as far as the RIAA is concerned. Now that you’ve chosen to embark upon a new career, how are you going to get dirty, filthy, stinking rich? How do you become a millionaire? The tool of choice has got to be botnets. Building them is just the start. How do you monetize the tens or hundreds of thousands of machines under your control? Should you harvest confidential and personal information from the victims, or would it be more prudent to become a specialist service provider to other botnet operators? Which models work best, and how can you become a six-million-dollar man within a year?
