BlackHat - Kaminsky's Presentation

shednik

So Dan Kaminsky gave his talk and it is as bad as we all thought.

You can grab Dan's slides from: http://www.doxpara.com under the entry named "Why So Serious".

Goes into details (104 slides!) and also talks about client attacks.

Very cool, thanks for the info.

The latest Security Now! podcast talks about how DNS works and details the problem (pre-Blackhat) with DNS poisoning using non-randomized DNS ports. Dan Kaminsky will probably be interviewed on the same podcast in the next week or two. The Earthquake we had in SoCal last week occurred during the recording of the podcast and adds a little flavor.

I just discovered that Kaminsky has a rather interesting Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/dakami

I'm at Defcon 16 now, and it looks like Kaminsky is slated to talk at 11AM PDT on Sunday the 10th. All the presentations here are being taped and should be available in the Defcon Media Archives (and on BitTorrent) soon.

Oh wow! I don't want to even think about how much time I'm going to lose going through all those

Tell me about it. If they post the video from every session it'll be over 125 hours in total. For professionally-produced DVDs, they are charging $899US for Defcon/Black Hat and $499 for Defcon only. I don't know when the free releases will be made.

A bunch of us need to be there next year in our TechExams.net polo's and tee's.
