Jarno Niemelä to talk about Spying via Bluetooth

Jarno Niemelä from F-Secure will explain us why all those people who think that their mobile phone is being spied on are not necessary crazy. This presentation gives an overview of just what is possible do over Bluetooth once the attacking device is trusted, what spy can do over Bluetooth and what can be done to prevent it.

T2 staff thinks that this talk defines quite well what "trust" really means.

Rafael Dominguez Vega to talk about USB Attacks

Rafael Dominguez Vega from MWR InfoSecurity will go through the dangers of USB devices. The presentation will cover a wide range of security considerations for USB devices. However, it will specifically focus on the evolution of an attack that can be delivered through a malicious USB device. The talk will also include discussion about the methods that can be used to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in USB drivers and their advantages and disadvantages.

T2 staff thinks that you should think twice before you use a USB stick from a security conference ... :)

Juhani Eronen to talk about Real World Incidents

Juhani Eronen from CERT-FI will present post-mortem studies on incident and vulnerability coordination projects he has been involved with, including recent CERT-FI disclosures.

T2 staff thinks that this talk will be an important lesson for everybody, especially those working for product development. If you or your organization would like to avoid some of the pitfalls — this talk is for you!

Scott McIntyre to talk about Why Security Fails

Scott McIntyre from XS4ALL will explain why security fails. Handling of recent threats, the role of "disclosure", governance, FUD and the ever present (and increasing) threat of government over-regulation stifling innovation are just some of the topics which will be covered during this keynote.

We all suffer the fallout from IT security failures, and understanding the far-reaching consequences to our actions is critical if we're ever going to have a safer Internet experience for the masses.

T2 staff thinks that if you have ever wondered how an ISP copes with all the threats passing through their network (including at layer-8), yet still manages to love the technology they provide to you -- this talk is for you!

Nishad Herath to talk about Optical Disk DRM/Forensics and Malware in GPU

Nishad Herath from Novologica will be on the stage twice. In the keynote Nishad will show us how the very same real world optical disc DRM technologies, created with perhaps the best of intentions, can be used extremely effectively for anti-forensic purposes.

In the second presentation Nishad will demonstrate techniques and code which illustrates the various processing options available to modern malware both inside and outside the PC, far away from the CPU.

T2 staff thinks that both of these talks are quite groundbreaking. This is the kind of stuff that you don't see every day.
