31C3 Recap

As every year some of us used the holidays to visit the Chaos Communication Congress to socialize with like-minded people and to hear interesting talks.
I mean what other reasons than learning about security might exist to leave behind all your lovely in-laws you’ve been sharing some relative’s house with the days before … 😉
Here is a short recap of some of the talks we found most interesting:

Power of Community 2014

I had the pleasure to participate in this year’s Power of Community and was invited to talk about the insecurity of medical devices. The conference is based in Seoul, Korea and started in 2006. It has a strong technical focus and it is a community driven event. For me it was great to participate as mostly hackers from Asia were there and I got the chance to talk to a lot of nice folks that I wouldn’t be able to meet otherwise. This is especially true for the host, vangelis.

LTE vs. Darwin @ Hackers to Hackers Conference 11

Hello Everybody and greetings from Sao Paulo,

 
We’re currently enjoying the Brazilian sunshine, waiting for H2H2 11’s closing remarks and decided to give you a few details on the past three days.

Bernstein and Halvar Flake and gave yet another insight into the ever changing world of InfoSec. The international lineup also included Travis Goodspeed, Sergej Bratus and Fernando Gont. H2HC was a great chance for us to talk to various Hackers from around the world and share our opinions and knowledge. Continue reading “LTE vs. Darwin @ Hackers to Hackers Conference 11”

North American IPv6 Summit 2014

Hello everyone,

I know I am a bit late with this post, but I was speaking on the North American IPv6 Summit in Denver three weeks ago. The focus of my talk was on Why IPv6 Security is hard – Structural Deficits of IPv6 & Their Implications (slightly modified/updated from the Troopers IPv6 Security Summit).  We consider the NA IPv6 Summit as one of the most important IPv6 events at all and we were happy to contribute to the overall success. The conference was organized for the 7th time by the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force and took place in the Grand Hyatt Denver (37th floor ;-)). Luckily the weather was perfect, and the view of the landscape from the conference rooms was just amazing. I really enjoyed the time in Denver, as the organizer sdid all they could to treat the speaker well J. The talks were of mix of regular research or case-study type talks and some sponsored talks ranging from deployment experience, security and statistics to SDN (Yes, I said it ;)) and the Internet of Things (I said it again ;)). The line-up was nicely put together.
