The fifth annual HITB Security Conference in Amsterdam kicks off this week and prominent security researcher Rahul Sasi is scheduled to present a way to allow you to hijack a cable TV channel and broadcast your own content - just like in the movies! From his talk abstract:

The talk will have various small demos that will include,

• Shutting down cable service for multiple users.
• Remotely updating the firmware of Settopboxes

Our final demo will show how attackers could swap a channel with their own movie or video – just like in the Die Hard movie!

See you in Amsterdam!
