New Mobile and Web Attacks to Be Showcased at HITBSecConf2011 - Amsterdam
The draft agenda for the upcoming 2011 Hack In The Box Amsterdam (HITB2011AMS) security conference was published and promises a lot of interesting presentations on Web attacks, GPS tracking, ATM crime and mobile security.
HITBSecConf 2011 Amsterdam will span four days, from May 17 to May 20. The actual conference will occupy the last two and will be prefaced by technical training sessions on Web hacking, exploit writing and memory analysis. The conference will kick off with a keynote speech by Facebook's Chief Security Officer, Joe Sullivan, and each day will be split in four separate tracks, one of which contains hands-on HITB Labs.
During coffee and lunch breaks people will also be able to attend 15-minute SIGINT and OWASP lighting talk segments. There are quite a few attractive presentations this year. For example, on day one, iSec Partners security consultant Don A. Bailey promises to show how GPS devices can be manipulated to stealthily sniff location data. On the same day, researchers Daniel Mende and Enno Rey plan to demonstrate several attack methods against 3G and 4G telecommunication networks.
