ERNW @PHDays V in Moscow

Здравствуйте Insinuator Followers,

End of May eight ERNW members were travelling to Moscow (Russia) to visit the PHDays V conference. It was a very nice trip because we met a lot of gentle people, ate some great food and had quite some fun in this exciting and history-charged metropole, and we were able to get around using hands and feet (and Google translate ;-)).

The remainder of this post contains summaries of some of the most interesting talks at PHD V:

Is IPv6 more Secure than IPv4? Or Less?

Scott Hogg recently (in his post “Holding IPv6 Neighbor Discovery to a Higher Standard of Security“) gave the following answer:

“The security of IPv4 is roughly equivalent to IPv6. So why do we expect more from IPv6?”

In this post I will lay out why I think that IPv6 is actually less secure than IPv4.

ERNW@HAXPO/HITB 2015

Last week we enjoyed quite a wonderful HAXPO exhibition and HITB conference in Amsterdam. A number of great talks could be heard at the main HITB conference such as “Bootkit via SMS: 4G Access Level Security Assessment” or “Stegosploit: Hacking with Pictures“. And not only that: there were also several engaging hands-on workshops.

Apart from the main conference, there was the HAXPO – a hacker exhibition. At this exhibition you could connect with people from different companies, get a lot of merchandise, and also listen to several briefings on security and its philosophy. Fortunately, we had the pleasure to present two of these briefings and maybe you tested your web application skills at the ERNW booth.
