ShmooCon 2010 Stealing Guests… Slides Online

Luckily I was able to escape Washington DC’s 3rd round of snow to enjoy the tropical 40 degree weather here in Tampa today and write this post. Despite the blizzard and its many names, the ShmooCon faithful came out in full force to make another great conference.

I want to thank everyone who attended the Stealing Guests…The VMware Way talk, especially since no one threw shmooballs at us.

Black Hat DC 2009 Presentation

My abstract for this year’s Black Hat DC was picked up. I’ll be presenting the XSS Anonymous Browser tool, or XAB for short. I’m currently hammering out some of the more technical aspects of the tool, but I’ll have a working proof of concept ready for the conference. Plus if there’s time (who am I kidding?), I’ll release a second tool that is a great defense against the attack vectors that XAB utilizes.
