Sessions Description

Pwning the skiddies using the anonymity weapon
Proxy services and vpn servers are used widely all over the world But , can you really depend on them as secure way to surf the WWW? We gonna demonstrate how the such services are invisibly used to take over thousands of PCs every single hour.

Sleeping your way out of the sandbox
Recently, a new breed of security solutions appeared in the market, Sandbox based Antimalware solutions, promising to be the answer to advanced malware and APTs.

Yet, as always, there are ways to circumvent any control. In this presentation we will examine a new technique to bypass sandbox based solutions, allowing malware to avoid detection and giving it a free pass to your network.

HTML5 security
HTML5 was specially designed to deliver rich content without the need for additional plugins. The current version delivers everything from animation to graphics, music to movies, and can also be used to build complicated web applications. Through introducing these new features new vulnerabilities are introduced as well.

This talk will give an introduction about HTML5 and its new features. Then will select a number of examples to demonstrate the positive, and negative impact of these features for web application security.
