Back to the Future - Phishing and Malware by Brendan O’Conner, Saleforce.com

Abstract: The more things change, the more they stay the same. We'll take a trip back in time to look at the phishing and anti-malware solutions of the past. Why did they fail? With companies investing hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in these solutions, what does the future of this space look like and what tricks can you apply to stay one step ahead?

Bio: Brendan O'Connor is originally from the Midwest , currently residing in the Bay Area as a security engineer .

Brendan currently works on the Product Security team at Salesforce.com, where his duties include vulnerability research, security architecture, and application security.

Testing Methodologies: White-box, Gray-Box, Black-box or Something Else by Kirk Greene, Accuvant

Abstract: In this presentation we will discuss the different testing methodologies used when assessing the security of both binary applications as well as web-based applications. We will focus on the differences and advantages as they relate to black-box testing, white-box testing, gray-box testing, reverse engineering, and fuzzing. Unfortunately there is no one testing methodology that provides the best balance of time and accuracy for every application, in this talk we will provide metrics for helping decide what methodology should be used for what types of applications.
