We look forward to seeing you all there!
Inc, he has been presenting research into interesting mechanisms within TCP/IP for several years. One of his more well known endeavors involved correctly estimating the global infection rate from Sony's DRM Rootkit by use of quirks in the Internet's Domain Name System
 
infrastructure.  Dan focuses on design class issues, most recently
 
spending much of 2006 auditing Microsoft's new Vista operating system.
 
 
 
Wireless Communications Security
 
 
 
Up to recently, wireless communications have enjoyed a certain amount of security through obscurity because of the high cost of the hardware
 
required to examine these communications at the lowest levels.  With the advent of software radio, this obscurity is rapidly disappearing.
 
 
 
Josh Lackey will discuss some of his current research in the area and
 
will demonstrate the latest generation of low-cost hardware which
 
supports software radio.  As examples, he'll demonstrate
 
 
 
* Software which emulates the GSM broadcast control channel (let's phuzz your phone)
 
* How to show (and replay) the bits sent between your car and your wireless key fob (or how to steal every Infiniti off the lot)
 
 
 
Josh Lackey has his Ph.D. in Mathematics but he quickly realized that
 
teaching calculus to freshmen for the rest of his life would drive him
 
crazy.  Instead, he decided to do what he was really good at: breaking
 
things.  While he enjoys breaking almost anything, he specializes in
 
breaking wireless protocols.  Josh is currently the Security Development Lead for Microsoft SWI and is responsible for leading a team of world-class hackers who get a chance to attack all of Microsoft's products before you do.  Previously, he was a Senior Ethical Hacker for IBM Global Services where he led penetration testing teams against large IBM customers.
 
 
 
 
 
Please let us know if you can make it or not so we can make sure to order the correct amount of food and beverages.
