VB2014: Slides day three

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   Sep 28, 2014

Thanks all for a fantastic conference and see you in Prague... or in Denver!

Two days ago, a lively panel discussion closed what we can only describe as a fantastic conference. For those that were here, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and we hope you found a lot of inspiration in the presentations you saw and from the people you met.

Many of Friday's speakers let us make their presentation slides available; we hope to add a few more after the conference:

• Evolution of Android exploits from a static analysis tools perspective (Anna Szalay, Jagadeesh Chandraiah, Sophos; abstract)
• Using image similarity algorithms on application icons to discover new malware families on multiple platforms (Martin Smarda, Pavel Sramek, AVAST; abstract)
• Android packer: facing the challenges, building solutions (Rowland Yu, Sophos; abstract)
• It has a EULA, it must be legit (Stefan Catalin Hanu, Bitdefender; abstract)
• Leaving our ZIP undone: how to abuse ZIP to deliver malware apps (Gregory Panakkal, K7 Computing; abstract)
• Smart home appliance security & malware (Jeongwook Oh, HP; abstract)
• The battle against anonymous browsing: the security challenges presented by Tor (David Vargas, VATG; abstract)
• Exposing Android white collar criminals (Luis Corrons, Panda Security; abstract)
• Unveiling the kernel: rootkit discovery using selective automated kernel memory differencing (Ahmed Zaki, Benjamin Humphrey, Sophos; abstract)

We also added several slides from the first two days of the conference:

• The evolution of webinjects (Jean-Ian Boutin, ESET; abstract)
• Quantifying maliciousness in Alexa top-ranked domains (Paul Royal, Barracuda Labs; abstract)
• Swipe away, we're watching you (Hong Kei Chan, Liang Huang, Fortinet; abstract)
• How they're getting the data out of your network (Eric Koeppen, IBM; abstract)
• Bootkits: past, present & future (Eugene Rodionov, ESET, Aleksandr Matrosov, Intel; abstract)
• Labelling spam through the analysis of protocol patterns (Alexandru Trifan, Bitdefender; abstract)

We wish everyone a safe trip home or, if you are staying in Seattle for a bit longer, a great time in this fascinating city.

We are looking forward to seeing you at VB2015 in Prague (30 September - 2 October 2015) - or at VB2016, when the VB roadshow returns to this side of the Atlantic for a conference in Denver, Colorado (5-7 October 2016)!
