HITB

L33tdawg: The competition officially started yesterday and ends on the 8th of March at 13:37 CET. Winners will be announced on the 11th of March via @HITBSecConf on Twitter. Good luck and hopefully we'll see you in Amsterdam! :)

Hack In The Box launched the #HITB1337Giveaway - A Twitter based competition that will see one lucky winner not only walk away with a VIP ticket to the triple track hacker conference in April but also $1337 to help with travel expenses.

The HD recording of the iOS / OS X panel discussion that took place at #HITB2012KUL last month has been uploaded to the HITBSecConf YouTube channel.

Hello readers and welcome to the somewhat overdue Issue 009 of HITB Magazine. As they say, better late than never!

Originally, Issue 009 was supposed to have been released along side our 10th year anniversary conference in Kuala Lumpur, HITB2012KUL last month. However, the madness of putting on a conf with 42 of our most popular speakers from the last decade combined with celebrating 10 years of HITB awesomeness was just too much and we had to put the magazine release on hold.

Hack In The Box SecConf 2012 Malaysia just celebrated its ten-year mark in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hack In The Box stages its high-profile hacker conferences in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, bringing together an unusual mix of security professionals, members of the hacker underground, researchers and - yes - law enforcement.

THE Hack In The Box Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur (HITBSecConf2012 or HITB2012KUL) that ran from Oct 10-11 was a fitting monument to the series’ 10th anniversary.
 

Last week’s Hack In The Box Security Conference, HITB’s Ten Years In The Box celebration, saw the return of over 40 of the most popular speakers from the last decade presenting in a triple track format over 2 days.

Security insights into Huawei routers, a last minute non appearance by founders of The Pirate Bay, a live streamed iOS security panel comprising members of the world famous jailbreak ‘Dream Team’ and USD60,000 awarded for a successful bypass of Google’s Chrome browser resulted in Hack In The Box ‘trending’

L33tdawg: The FULL HD video recording of the panel and all other #HITB2012KUL talks will be released on the HITB YouTube Channel in early November.

If you are an iOS 6 untethered jailbreak hopeful wondering what developments are taking place in that arena, the live stream of Hack in the Box's iOS panel discussion, featuring well known jailbreak developers @MuscleNerd, @pod2g, @planetbeing and @mdowd, is the stream you need to watch.(Stream recording posted below)

L33tdawg: Yes, this happened last week, so we're a little late in publishing this news, but hey - better late than never :)

Tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, groundbreaking security conference Hack In The Box is set to open its doors to an estimated 1000+ attendees - in the same place it launched ten years of security conference controversy, hacking headlines, and an era of epic exploits and disruption.

 Gottfrid Svartholm Warg isn't the only foudning member of file-sharing website The Pirate Bay to find himself on the wrong side of international law. Expected to speak at the Hack in the Box conference in Kuala Lumpur this week, Warg's cohorts Peter "brokep" Sunde nor Fredrik "tiamo" Neij failed to attend the event, despite being billed as keynote speakers. Following a short and frantic search it emerged that neither man had been arrested or gone off the grid but a combination of illness and legal advice had prevented them from leaving their native Sweden.

Researcher Felix "FX" Lindner has just revealed to attendees of his talk at security conference Hack In The Box how easy it is to gain access to Huawei routers and telco equipment, spelling out how backdoor access is not necessary if an attacker wants to get in and access traffic that runs through them.

He told the packed room in Kuala Lumpur, "I don't know if there are backdoors - but it doesn't matter since there are so many vulnerabilities."
