iOS jailbreakers unite in Amsterdam for annual HITB Security Conference
L33tdawg: "for the first time in history, and for this conference only... " What more can I say but have you registered? ;)
We have some fabulous news to share with you today. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might have seen the mention I made a few weeks ago out our upcoming presentation at the 2012 Europe Hack in the Box security conference in May. The initial list of conference speakers was officially unveiled earlier this week, so we can finally share with all of you how over-the-top excited we are to have been allocated two 60-minute speaking slots! If you’ve ever wanted to learn how we find & exploit vulnerabilities for iOS jailbreaks − or even if you just want to meet & thank the developers (note: flattery will get you everywhere) − here’s your chance!
What is Hack in the Box?
Hack in the Box (or “HitB”) is a highly technical security conference, held annually in both Asia & Europe, that aims to enable the dissemination, discussion & sharing of new, ground-breaking attack & defense techniques that have never been seen or discussed in public before. Since its 2002 launch in Malaysia, HitB has grown steadily in size & scope to become what it is today: the “must attend” event on the annual calendars of many of the world’s best, most highly-regarded security professionals. This year, HitB’s European leg will be held from May 21st to 25th at the breathtaking, five-star Okura Hotel in one of our favorite cities in the world, Amsterdam! You can read lots more details about this thrill-filled conference, and why we’re so incredibly stoked to spend the week there, at the end of this post.
Who’s going to be there?
As we discussed in our last blog post, we pulled together the oh-so-impressive “2012 iOS Jailbreak Dream Team” from (literally) all corners of the earth to pool our collective knowledge & skills in order to perform the hacking magic necessary to complete the last two GreenPois0n jailbreaks released. For the first time in history, and for this conference only, all four of the core Dream Team members will be united (in person! not just on IRC!) to present all our hard work and answer all your burning questions: @pod2g, @pimskeks & I (@p0sixninja) from Chronic Dev Team, along with the inimitable @planetbeing from iPhone Dev Team!
