SecuInside 2012 (Seoul Korea)
Uhm….so apparently CTFs have REALLY blown up! As a founding member of Kenshoto, I remember how we pushed the envelope for CTFs (building automatic scoring systems, *actual* challenges, etc.) I was also the VJ for our first two years running, lugging my 500 DVDs with me to play my favorite little esoteric cyberpunk clips from […]
Bustication Everywhere: A CanSecWest 2012 Retrospective
Another conference has come and gone. Sometimes it seems that the annual conference schedule is the metronome to which the Infosec world paces itself. The coming and going of conferences is the only consistency in this idiosyncratic industry full of neurosis and theatrics. This year’s CanSecWest held true to form and was the stage for […]
A Lackluster ‘Hack Cluster’: ARM Exploitation Lab Preview
As we have announced in other blogposts we’ve been researching mobile platforms quite a bit (specifically those that use the ARM microprocessor). We compiled all of our notes on ARM reverse engineering and ARM exploitation and built a course called “Practical ARM Exploitation” that we will be publicly debuting this coming week at CanSecWest. The […]

Practical ARM Exploitation: A New Training

Recon 2011 (a late retrospective)
In July 2011, Beans gave a talk at ReCon in Montreal, CA entitled “Hardware Hacking for Software People“. This year ReCon broke away from its more humble conference venue roots, took corporate sponsorship, and upgraded the venue to a MUCH nicer hotel. (After last year’s debacles, I think Hugo and Dave decided it was just […]
Hardware Hacking for Software People
For most of my career as a software developer/security researcher I’ve romanticized ‘hardware hacking’. In my late teens and early twenties as I was learning about software development and software security I would occasionally buy Nuts and Volts from Microcenter and read Karl Lunt‘s Amateur Robotics column. Having devoured William Gibson‘s oeuvre in my late […]
INFILTRATE 2011
July 27, 2011
by slawlerguy
Beans recently (okay, it was MONTHS ago and I had this post pending in review since then) attended the Immunity INFILTRATE Conference in South Beach Miami, as well as the MASTER CLASS HACKING TRAINING. Unfortunately this Stephen rarely (if ever) takes photos of anything, so you won’t see pictures of Internet superstar hackers here. Instead […]
