BlackHat Vegas is almost on us again, and this will be the 6th year running that we present there.. This year Marco and i will be taking a new look at some old attacks.. The bulk of the talk will focus (like its name suggests) on timing attacks, but we will be looking in general at timing, race conditions and other attacks that have not yet been packaged into tools and so are not yet prone to the type of over-fishing we have found with fuzzable bugs..
Whew. After much last-minute war with PPT C# and ORM our slides and
Beta 1.0 of our tool are available on our research site. I think the slides are pretty neat,
and I’m *very* excited about the tool, but unfortunately we didn’t
get as far with the latter as we’d hoped to. Still, it illustrates
the concept pretty nicely and its built pretty solid (thanks James)
so it should grow quickly from here.
After a six hour delay due to technical problems *before* my journey
even started I’m finally on the plane and waiting for take off. Tag
an additional five hour delay due to a missed connection in New York
and this quickly become a very, very long trip. Perhaps my longest
ever. Ah well, the price we pay for living at the end of the world, I
guess.
