Defcon 13, day 1 and part of 2
There were a few good talks on Friday, though the one of note was Dan’s “Black Ops 2005” talk, where he talked about such things as how to DOS and hide from IDS systems. Another talk of note was the Credit Cards: Everything You have Ever Wanted to Know. DC13 seems to be having some scheduling issues this year, but I’ve been able to catch missing talks on the TV.
The talk of the day so far today was the Introduction to Lock-picking and Physical Security, which has seriously made me consider purchasing a lock picking kit. I’m balking at the $80 price tag that the vendors here want to charged, but this looks like a whole new realm of security for me to toy in.
What’s next? I think I am going to go to the Trust Transience: Post Intrusion SSH Hijacking followed by the lengthy talk titled Be Your Own Telephone Company…With Asterisk.
