Defcon 18
On July 29th, I hopped a plane to Las Vegas to attend Defcon 18. There I went to talk after talk given by bright minds in computer security, absorbing knowledge of security threats—all with the intent of bringing it back to MindComet, where I could apply what I learned about security weaknesses to the quality assurance process. About a week after my return, I gave a lunch presentation to the company, laying out some of the big issues that are applicable to our work. Below is an overview of the pieces of the talk, with a quick summary of what you’ll find in the undecorated slides:
- Connection String Parameter Attacks - Methods of abusing database connection strings, with insights on how to prevent the attacks.
- Decoding reCAPTCHA - Cutting edge of breaking Google’s reCAPTCHA, and insights in what to look for when evaluating anti-spam.
- App Attack: Surviving the Mobile Application Explosion - Massive security overview of Android and iPhone application security, with security pitfalls to avoid.
