Recently I had the pleasure to join the
PowerOfCommunity conference in Seoul.
Florian and Felix attended the conference in the past and enjoyed it a lot, so I
took the opportunity to join this year. From what I had heard the conference is
highly technical, offensive security and community focused (surprise 😉 ). Boy
did they deliver!
Located in a hotel next to a nice park and close to the famous Gangnam district
in Seoul we came together to feel the power of community. The conference was
planned for two days and offered two tracks per day. Several key talks were
presented for everyone.
I really liked the topics a lot. Some contributions I found particularly
interesting were:
Petr Švenda with “The Million-Key Question – How RSA Public Key Leaks Its
Origin”, where he presented his research of fingerprinting RSA public keys. By
analyzing the RSA keys from smartcards and software sources he was able to find
similarities between them, which allowed fingerprinting the generating source
for some cases. With this information it could be possible gather some
potentially important details from simple keys. He is currently expanding his
work, please send him an E-Mail if you have RSA keys from an exotic resource. 😉

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.

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.
