t2 infosec conference » T2´08 http://t2.fi t2 is an annual conference dedicated to those who are interested in the technical aspects of information security. t2 offers the opportunity to publish new research and ideas as well as networking, the latter an elemental part of its ideology.

It is fair to conclude that the conference was a great success. We feel that there were many very interesting presentations and a very good atmosphere for discussion and networking :)

Effectively this means that Adam Laurie will have both of his talks (A Day in the Life of a Hacker, RFIDIOts!!) on Thursday and Nishad's (Now you see it, Now you dont - Obfuscation for fun and profit!) will be kept on Friday.

We apologize for the possible inconvenience.

Slashdot has an article about the forthcoming talk from Jack C. Louis and Robert E. Lee. The talk will divulge new technical details about TCP state table manipulation vulnerabilities that affect availability.

The first one to solve the challenge was Florent Marceau from France. We received his solution three days after the challenge had begun (2008-09-09 13:18).

Fabrice Desclaux, also from France sent the best solution by means of technical accuracy and detail.

Congratulations guys! You are entitled to free entrance to T2´08!

We would also like to thank everybody who attended. If you feel that you would have an interesting challenge for T2´09 please let us know :)

So far only six people have solved the challenge.

If we do not receive more solutions by the end of the week - we will have a vote on Sunday regarding the winner of the other ticket. Effectively this means that we will publish the results on Monday.

This is the first time the Challenge has withstood more than 24 hours!

Please remember that you do not have to be the first one to solve it - the Advisory Board will select another winner among the next ten correct answers. The criteria for the other selection is the elegance of the answer. In short, you can win with both speed and style :)

However, we've received such an unusual submission that we have decided to include it to the schedule. Effectively this means that we have replaced the second part of "Iceberg Incorporated - A Peek Under the Surface of the Criminal Enterprise" with this new talk. And now about this new talk ...

Jack C. Louis and Robert E. Lee from Outpost24 will divulge new technical details about TCP state table manipulation vulnerabilities that affect availability.

Specifically this talk will showcase new attacks that will render a remote system unavailable using a very low bandwidth attack stream. Attacks against Windows, BSD, Linux, and embedded systems TCP/IP stack implementations will be discussed and demonstrated.

Please see the schedule for details.
