The recovery from another year at BlackHat, B-Sides & Defcon has past. Each venue had great sessions and the Social Engineering contest at Defcon was hilarious. Didn’t have much time to blog on the sessions we attended this year, but hope to review the sessions on the CD and post my feedback. Now back to the norm of life and possibly practice the new knowledge I’ve gained.

The word throughout the security community of the Security B-Sides event is gaining a huge amount of popularity. From the inception in 2009 of the idea to provide a non-conference like atmosphere was the key theme of the event. Since then there have been B-Sides events hosted throughout the country in parallel with security conferences.

The anniversary year in 2010 circles the event back to where it began and is expected to have twice the number of attendees as well as a larger sponsorship and speakers.

For the few who have not yet been infected by the plague of the Security B-Sides event, here is the link to get more details on what’s coming up.

Security B-Sides

The year of the Information Security Conferences (BlackHat 2010, Defcon 18, Security B-Sides) are in the midst. Unfortunately this year I’ll be missing the BlackHat event, but will be in the world of Defcon 18 and possibly the Security B-Sides. S3ctrzr0 will be in the realm of the Black Hats to feed and satisfy our technolust.

Look forward to mingling in with the security community………

An InformationWeek WebCast:

Wednesday, May 26, 10:00am PT/1:00pm EST

Inside the Cybercriminal’s Mind: A Live Hacking Demo

Join one of HP’s lead web security research experts, Oscar Salazar, as he demonstrates a live hacking scenario to illustrate how hackers find and exploit vulnerabilities in web applications to take control of your applications, servers and the data they store.
During this webcast, Oscar will demonstrate detailed, step-by-step hacking scenarios that show how hackers can take advantage of even the most mundane looking developer mistakes to expose security vulnerabilities and take complete control of a remote server.

Participants in this webcast will learn:

• The threat that security vulnerabilities like Cross site scripting (XSS) and Google hacking present to organizations.
• How SQL Injection or Remote File Inclusion (RFI) can be used to take control of a server
• The extent of the damage that can be done to your business, data, employees, customers and brand when an intruder has control of assets on your network
• How some vulnerabilities can compromise a server, while others merely expose application logic
• How a hacker can turn a secure application against itself by using its logic with malicious intent
