Take note: if I ever proposition you with some free mobile juice via a portable charger, don’t accept.
Over the last month, I’ve created chargers that try to brute force open Android phones by guessing the passcode. Then, with a handy bluetooth chip hidden inside, they let me control the compromised phone’s keyboard from my own Android.
This talk will describe first the landscape of side channel vulnerabilities, the types which are possible given different virtualization circumstances, and the basic primitives of an side-channel attack. This survey will contrast against the specific exploitation of the cloud based environment.
Automotive security is a hot research area but up till now, research has only centered around how to attack with no single complete solution for defense.
Radio timing service, such as GPS, BPC, JJY, WWVB, DCF77, WWVH have been widely used as a basic time source for industry or individual systems. These signals are used by millions of people to synchronize consumer electronic products like wall clocks, clock radios, and wristwatches. NTP sever also use these signals to get a precise time.
Everything must be connected right now! Go! Do it! It’ll be great….

LTE is a more advanced mobile network but not absolutely secure.
In this presentation, we will introduce a method which jointly exploits the vulnerabilities in tracking area update procedure, attach procedure, and RRC redirection procedure in LTE networks resulting in the ability to force a targeted LTE cellphone to downgrade into a malicious GSM network where an attacker can subsequently eavesdrop its voice calls and GPRS data.
Exploit kits are one of the threats that is ever present on the Internet. Indiscriminately compromising users that are simply surfing websites. As ransomware has exploded so has the proliferation of these exploit kits. This combination of ransomware, tor, and bitcoin has created a financially lucrative monster.
In a world where governments are demanding exceptional (and unprecedented) access to systems under the guise of national security and the looming specter of terrorism, recent events have resurfaced the conflict between privacy and security. While some believe this to be a new battle of the Internet age, it’s just a continuation of the unending crypto war between technologists and law enforcement.
