Mischievous Eyes and Malicious Mindsets

The browser is our window to your secrets... and we've got mischievous eyes. As organizations push to increase the "richness" of online user experiences, they are also unwittingly increasing attack surface for organizations and their users. Join two of the best looking security researchers in the world as we dissect the current state of client side and web application security. We'll dive into the gory details and demonstrate the impact of client side vulnerabilities, blended threats, and targeted attacks. We'll cover everything from benign application vulnerabilities that gave college hopefuls a sneak peak on their admissions status, all the way to vulnerabilities used to steal your data and compromise your machine.

Other speakers during this conference dedicated to the legitimate profession of hacking include:

• Karsten Abata (Halock Security Labs) on "Nailing the Insider"
• Michael A. Davis (CEO of Savid Technologies) sheds light on the new focus of organized crime in "Modernization of Malware Factories"
• Donald C. Donzal (Founder of ChicagoCon) brings you "DIY Career in Ethical Hacking"
• Michael Gregg (Author, Superior Solutions, Inc.) on "Malware - The Continuing Evolving Threat"
• Daniel V. Hoffman (SMobile Systems) enlightens with "Smartphones Aren't Currently Being Exploited - And the Titantic is Unsinkable"
