DeepSec In-Depth Security Conference - 10% discount on tickets!

Top brass of hackers and IT security meet in Vienna

DeepSec conference set on closing dangerous security leaks

Vienna - Usually you won't find them on the same side: hackers and security
specialists who fend off their attacks. Yet the security conference DeepSec,
which takes place from November 11 to 14, is one of the rare events they
have
joined forces for. "Despite what is generally believed, hackers are not
necessarily criminals. Many have made it their goal to point out potentially
dangerous security leaks that need to be closed as soon as possible in
everyone's interest", says René Pfeiffer who organises the conference.

One recent example is the attack on Estonia which was cut off from its
Internet access for two weeks after a coordinated hacker attack. The
incident
resulted in several billion euros of losses to the economy. Also, the
booming
wireless networks create increasingly easy access for spies to lay their
hands on data. Finally, the attack on the private bank account of French
president Nicolas Sarkozy has shown clearly how vulnerable seemingly secure
banking systems are.

DeepSec takes place in Vienna for the second time now and is set on creating
a conference for hackers, companies, IT security staff and scientists as a
forum to exchange information and experience. "We are a neutral platform
that
closes the usually existing gap between reseachers, businesses,
authorities and the hacker community", says Pfeiffer.

DeepSec has invited the top brass of the community: keynote speakers will
be Adam Laurie, a renowned specialist for hacking into RFID radio systems,
Ivan Krstic, former security director of the "One Laptop Per Child" project,
and Johnny Long, who specialises in low-tech hacking, i.e. hacking with
minimum technical means. Gadi Evron, a well-reputed Israeli security
expert, contributes his knowledge about the cyber attacks on Estonia and
Georgia to the programme.


Workshops on the following issues will be held on Nov 11 and 12:

- Improving Code with Destructive Data (Heikki Kortti and Jukka Taimisto)
- Security Audit and Hardening of Java based Software (Marc Schoenefeld)
- The Exploit Laboratory (Saumil Udayan Shah)
