Hi #days the Swiss conference for security, extends its call for papers (CFP) deadline until July 25th 2010. For details regarding the submission guidelines see: https://www.hashdays.ch/call-for-papers.html Furthermore, we herewith proudly announce our #days workshops: 1) "Protecting from GSM attacks with Harald Welte, Karsten Nohl and David Burgess: This two-day workshop revisits the basics of GSM, SS7, and OTA before discussing their control and trust mechanics. It will become apparent that technology providers and attackers can invade GSM users' location and communication privacy in multiple ways. The workshop is targeted at GSM users concerned with the confidentiality of their information and location. The class provides technical and organizational protection strategies for minimizing the attack surface and mitigating the risks of the telecommunication infrastructure. 2) Exploit Laboratory with Saumil Shah: The workshop brings you an action packed class teaching the art of exploitation from scratch. We start with an insight into system architecture, process execution, operating systems and error conditions. We then accelerate to using debuggers, reproducing reliable error conditions and exploit writing. Most of the class time is spent working on exercises that cover both the Linux and Windows, illustrating stack overflows, heap overflows and memory overwrites. The class is delivered in a down-to-earth, learn-by-example methodology. The early bird for both workshops lasts until July 25th, 2010.
