Two weeks ago Christopher and I joined the RIPE70 meeting in Amsterdam. Being part of the group was fun as always and we had quite some interesting conversations with peers from the IPv6 community.
There are lots of interesting places to visit in Amsterdam, but if you are there between the 26th and the 29th of May, then our booth at HAXPO exhibition should be your main destination.
HAXPO is a great exhibition, where you can become up-to-date with the latest security technologies, attend various workshops and get in touch with more than 35 IT and information security companies. It will take place in the beautiful historical building “Beurs van Berlage” in the center of Amsterdam. As usual, ERNW will take part in HAXPO. We will be waiting for you in the Community Village section (booth NL-018). Come visit and get to know more about us. You are invited to take our hacking challenges, where the levels of complexity vary from beginners to advanced. Furthermore, we will bring our KNX hacking suitcase!
In addition to the exhibition, HAXPO offers a very interesting track of must-see briefings about security and cutting-edge innovations. Don’t miss the talks held by ERNW members! On May 29th, you will see Oliver Matula and Christopher Scheuring with their talk “When You Stare into the Sandbox, It Stares Back at You: Evaluating the APT Armor”. On the same day Rafael Schaefer and Jason Salazar will lead you through “Pentesting in the Age of IPv6”.
I attended this really nice conference in Slovenia on April 16th. It was a smaller conference, but very memorable for the people (students, IT sec professionals and managers alike) who attended.
I also had the pleasure to present on How secure am I with EMET? and Evaluating the APT armor and wanted to share the slides with you — feel free to approach me for any kind of feedback or discussion.
A while a go Dominik and I gave an introductory presentation about SSL at the BASTA.NET conference, a developer-oriented event held in Darmstadt twice a year. At that time there were quite some enthusiastic participants but recently we’ve also gotten some inquiries asking for the relevant materials. Although there’s no recording of the session, we’ve decided to put the slides here for those interested who didn’t make it to the talk.
“Who should have a look at the slides?” you ask, well, if you’ve been wanting to get a sense for what the idea behind SSL is, where it is used, how it is usually leveraged and what problems could arise when poorly employed, you will certainly find the slide-deck interesting. Although the session was meant to slowly get participants up to speed in matters SSL, it’s still likely that more informed folks will still find it interesting, even if just as a refresher about key and certificate formats, PKI 101, SSL stripping, secure cookies, and other topics.
This year’s PacketWars contest at Troopers was a blast! Under the topic of “Connected Car” the teams faced several different challenges, which we will describe (as a debriefing) here.
On March 16th, 2015, at the Troopers IPv6 Security Summit, we finally released the SI6 Networks’ IPv6 Toolkit v2.0 (Guille). The aforementioned release is now available at the SI6 IPv6 Toolkit homepage. It is the result of over a year of work, and includes improvements in the following areas:
As TROOPERS15 has come to an end, I’ve finally got the time and energy to give you a deeper insight into the TR15 badge. As most of you have probably heard during the conference, this year’s badge was based on the OpenPCD2. The OpenPCD 2 is a 13.56MHz NFC Reader, Writer and Emulator under the GNU GPL v2. As NFC is, yet again, on an uprise, a badge with NFC simply gives you the chance to fiddle around and hack stacks of stuff in the real world. Adding some TROOPERS spirit and a few little secrets we hope we’ve designed a pretty nice badge! Continue reading “Troopers 15 Badge”
Last week Matthias and I went to Singapore to teach our workshop on Hypervisor Exploitation at SyScan. After a very unpleasant Lufthansa strike (which made us arrive late in Singapore) and two intense workshop days, we were free to attend the “last” SyScan. There are few IT security conferences that have such a great reputation in the community and so we had high expectations, which were definitely not disappointed. This year had a lot of really interesting talks so I will just summarize some of the ones I liked the most.
We’ve just published the videos from TROOPERS15. The playlist can be found here.
Thanks! again to everybody for joining us in Heidelberg. We had a great time with you 😉
Additionally to Wifi, Troopers is also offering a GSM network.
If you want to use it, simply ask your phone to scan for available mobile networks. There you should see the usual T-Mobile D, Vodafone.de, E-Plus, O2-de operators, but also the unusual D 23 or 262 23. Just select this one, and your are done. You also can use the Troopers SIMs which you get on the welcome desk on the ground floor.
