A new Course: “Software Exploitation via Hardware Exploitation”
For the last couple of years we’ve been teaching Practical ARM Exploitation. It’s sold out at every public offering (CanSecWest 2012 and BlackHat 2012 & 2013) and we’ve been fortunate enough to give it privately to a number of really amazing organizations. In 2011 we did a talk entitled “Hardware Hacking For Software People” at […]
Reykjavík, Iceland (Nordic Sec Conference)
We took our “ARM Exploitation” course to Iceland at the request of old friends. We’ve long admired some of the Iceland guys, so we decided to go. NordicSec was a small conference but pretty dense in talent/skill. Our class was small but that was to be expected. It was great though to see so many […]
Infiltrate 2013: “Miami…Joeboy…Quick study”
“Case turned on the tensor beside the Hosaka. The crisp circle of light fell directly on the Flatline’s construct. He slotted some ice, connnected the construct, and jacked in. It was exactly the sensation of someone reading over his shoulder. He coughed. “Dix? McCoy? That you man?” His throat was tight. “Hey, bro,” said a directionless […]
Upcoming for 2013
We haven’t done posts in a while. We’ve had quite few in the magazine for some time now, but have done a poor job of doing updates. We’ve been really busy lately but wanted to let folks know what we plan to do for more of 2013. So far this year we taught ARM Exploitation […]
ARM Exploitation: Switzerland
March 21, 2013 by slawlerguy
Late last year we got an email from Paul Such (the founder of SCRT Information Security) inviting us to present and lead a workshop at the Insomni’hack 2013 conference. A workshop is like a 1-day, mini-training. The conference is a two-track one day conference with workshops beforehand, and an all-night hacking contest and CTF afterwards. Maybe this […]
ARM Exploitation Tokyo: Hacking in the Land of the Rising Sun
In mid 2012 we received an email from several folks in Japan asking us if we intended to bring our “ARM Exploitation” course from Blackhat Las Vegas 2012 to Asia. We had originally planned to do our class elsewhere in Asia but our work schedules conflicted pretty dramatically and we were unable to make it happen. But Japan in the New Year […]
ARM TechCon 2012
In October (on the heels of our recent ARM Exploitation Research) we were invited to speak at ARMTechCon, one of the largest Microprocessor conferences in the world. It was held at Santa Clara Convention Center in California. We were asked to speak there and sit on an “expert panel” on the security of “Real-World” devices. […]
A day trip to Source Seattle 2012
About a month ago we gave a high-level talk about the threats to mobile devices at Source Seattle 2012. We talked (in the “Business Track”) about our experience developing the Practical ARM Exploitation course and also spoke anecdotally about our experiences reverse engineering and exploiting software on mobile devices and embedded systems. The talk was […]
BlackHat Las Vegas 2012
“The sky above Las Vegas was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel…“ Ok it wasn’t. In fact it was bright, beautiful, sunny and hot as sh*t. Neal Stephenson did the keynote at BlackHat this year, so we felt we should sling the obligatory cyberpunk reference into this post….and because I (Ridley) am writing […]
Beans on NPR
Following our talk at Blackhat 2012 entitled “Practical ARM Exploitation”, we were honored to be asked to participate in a BlackHat press conference. After getting briefed by the Media Coordinator and Vincenzo Iozzo we summarized our talk and training in the simplest of terms to a room of reporters and journalists. After the press conference […]
