Topic:
Pwning Windows Phone 8 appz

Abstract:
Believe it or not, Windows Phone 8 (WP8) is gaining popularity, which means we are the ones late on the bandwagon. There is some sporadic research and documentation on how to find and exploit vulnerabilities on WP8 but nothing concrete or centralized. This presentation will bring all that research as well as experience testing WP8 mobile apps together and provide a proven methodology for testing WP8 apps. The presentation will quickly introduce the audience to WP8 as an understanding of the platform is required to test an app that runs on it. We will then jump to how to test your favorite mobile app, find vulnerabilities, and exploit them. I will outline and demo step by step methods so the audience member can begin finding vulnerabilities as soon as they leave the presentation, no physical device required!

Topic:

“Protecting your brand from a Web Attack.”

Abstract:  People are after your customers’ information and are highly paid for it. Protecting high-value applications and data assets in physical and virtual data centers is paramount. The web remains as a viable, accessible, and vulnerable avenue for attack. We can show you what a typical site under attack looks like without a web application firewall. Alternatively, we can show you how to protect against today’s logical attacks with a web application firewall that will protect your high-value targets, keeping them both secure and accessible.
