**Dear blog followers, TROOPERS speakers & attendees,
**we hope you’re doing fine! Today we have a couple of great things to share with you:
TROOPERS14
Let’s start with a date. Get your calendar and mark March 17th – 21st 2014. It’s your TROOPERS14 holidays. One week full of high-end education, workshops, talks, reconnecting with friends, action, delicious food and one or the other party. You know the drill – more details further down.
Hi,
as we’ve received quite some requests re: the videos from Troopers 2013: the YouTube playlist can be found here.
Have fun (and learn something ;-)) watching, cu next year

Continue readingDue to “popular demand” and given Marc couldn’t join us at the IPv6 Security Summit (as flights into FRA were canceled that day due to snow) we decided to invite him and Antonios Atlasis another time, to present their knowledge, skills & voodoo in two workshops held in Heidelberg, in late June. More details can be found here.
See you all potentially at the Heise IPv6 Kongress, take care

Hi,
just to let you know that all presentations from this year’s TelcoSecDay are published in the interim. (Harald [Welte] couldn’t participate as in the morning of that day FRA airport was closed on short notice).
Next year’s TSD will happen on 03/18/2014.
Take care,
Enno

As a lot of people were asking for, here comes the code of your badge. All You need to customize your badge, is a micro controller programmer, like the Pickit (its around 30 to 40 euros) and the build environment, MPLAB which you can get for free. Then just download the code and implement your own super cool features. Let us know what you did, the best hacks will get into the TROOPERS hall of fame (-;
Continue readingWe had a great day today at the Troopers IPv6 Security Summit. Good conversations, quite some technical discussion and a prevailing overall will to improve actual IPv6 network security.
Here are the slides of Antonios Atlasis’ great talk on extension headers and these are some of his accompanying Python/Scapy scripts. My own presentation on high secure IPv6 networks can be found here. The slides of the real-world capabilities workshop will not be published yet as we first have to discuss some stuff with a vendor.
Continue readingJuan Perez-Etchegoyen (@jp_pereze) and Mariano Nunez (@marianonunezdc) from Onapsis here, thrilled to be troopers for the third time! In this post we want to share with you a glimpse of what you will see regarding SAP security at this amazing conference.
Last week we released advisories regarding several vulnerabilities affecting SAP platforms. Some of these vulnerabilities are in fact very critical, and their exploitation could lead to a full-compromise of the entire SAP implementation – even by completely anonymous attackers. Following our responsible disclosure policy, SAP released the relevant SAP Security Notes (patches) for all these vulnerabilities a long time ago, so if you are an SAP customer make sure you have properly implemented them!
Continue readingReverse engineering is generally thought of as using debuggers, disassemblers and hex editors. Much as I love hex editors, IDA and staring at opcodes for the last few years I have been focused on applying my reverse engineering methodology to larger, composed systems. At Troopers TelcoSec day this year I will be presenting Bluevoxing which demonstrates how this approach works. Bluevoxing is about reverse engineering how web based “audio one time password” systems work. Simply put audio one time password systems use a short audio file as an authentication token. When I discovered these systems I was intrigued as reversing them would involve a range of techniques and tools from web testing, audio tools, signal analysis, phreaking and cryptanalysis. The disassembler would be of no use instead I would have to employ audio tools such as audacity and ruby-processing.
Continue readingHere’s a number of updates as for upcoming TROOPERS13.
The preliminary agenda for this year’s TelcoSecDay can be found here.
Here‘s the (again: preliminary) agenda of the IPv6 Security Summit.
Last, but not least we’ve included another four talks in the main conference:
======
Sergey Bratus & Travis Goodspeed: You wouldn’t share a syringe. Would you share a USB port?
Synopsis: Previous work has shown that a USB port left unattended may be subject to pwnage via insertion of a device that types into your command shell (e.g. here). Impressive attack payloads have been delivered over USB to jailbreak PS3 and a “smart TV“. Not surprisingly, USB stacks started incorporating defenses such as device registration, USB firewalls, and other protective kits. But do these protective measures go far enough to let you safely plug in a strange thumb drive into your laptop’s USB port?
Continue readingWe’re very happy to announce the third round of Troopers 2013 talks today (first round here, second here).
So much quality stuff… it seems to get (ever) better every year ;-).
Here we go:
==================
Michael Ossmann & Dominic Spill: Introducing Daisho – monitoring multiple communication technologies at the physical layer.
Synopsis: Most communications media can be monitored and debugged at various levels of the stack, but we believe that it is most important to examine them at the physical layer. From there, the security of every level can be investigated and tested. The task of monitoring physical layer communications has become increasingly difficult as we try to squeeze more and more bandwidth out of our links. A passive tapping circuit can be used to monitor a 100BASE-TX connections, but no such circuit exists for 1000BASE-T networks.
