Nils to talk about Smart Phone Vulnerabilities

Tomi Tuominen — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:52:23 +0000

In this talk Nils will demonstrate (read: show nifty exploits) how much trust you can put into your smart phone. The talk will specifically look at two popular mobile platforms: Google Android and Palm WebOS.

t2 staff thinks that in addition to Nils being a rock star (like 'Prince' or 'Madonna') he is extremely talented security researcher. If you would like to see how Palm Pre can be used as a secret bugging device, this talk is for you.

Please see the schedule for details.

Would You Like To Sponsor t2′10?

Tomi Tuominen — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:14:13 +0000

We are looking for sponsors, if you or your company would like to sponsor t2'10 please contact us.

To protect the independent nature of t2, the following guidelines have been established:

No sponsor can affect the agenda. In order to run an independent conference, it is essential that no sponsor influence the topic or content of any given presentation.
Each and every presenter is there because of his or her skills. Sponsorship is not a fast lane past the CFP, meaning that sponsorship will not guarantee you a presentation slot at the conference. It does not prevent it either; the bottom line is that the advisory board handles all submissions equally.

More information can be found at http://t2.fi/sponsors/

Important: t2′10 Dates Updated!

Tomi Tuominen — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:20:53 +0000
