CanSecWest - Day 2

Well, things are rolling along up here in Canada. CanSecWest is into its second day and things are good. But no conference is complete without some bumps.

The pwn-2-own contest got a late start and didn't really kick off until today, around lunch.

Barnaby Jack's "Exploiting Embedded Systems" talk was great, but it also had a little glitch. The network failed once he was about to demo the malware EXE injection via a trojaned router firmware. But don't believe what you have read...he isn't just using JTAG to exploit these systems. This is serious ARM/XScale CPU zeroday stuff.

Drago Ruiu and the CanSecWest crew have rented the Honey Club tonight just for us. Limos will be running between the hotel and the club, so no one has to worry about driving around.

Thanks to Microsoft, Google & Juniper...there will be a open bar. Hell yea!

Anyways, I should get back....next up is Mark Russinovich with a Vista Internal talk. Should be interesting.
