Felix ‘fx’ Lindner (Security Consultant, Recurity Labs)

Filed under: Main Page — Administrator @ 2:55 pm

Presentation Title: Attack Surface of Modern Applications
Presentation Details:

Applications and frameworks mature over time. We have seen the end of the format string era. We see the end of the buffer overflow era coming. This rather high level talk wants to direct your attention to the distribution of the types of vulnerabilities over time and where things are heading. It attempts to review the defences that developed over the last 10 years and compares them to the few usable vulnerability data sources we have. Although no hex codes are shown, the talk might just be interesting.
