Black Hat: Day 2 Sounds Security Alarm

After a night of drunken madness and impromptu skinny-dipping into the Caesar's Palace pool, Black Hat attendees came back for another day of mentally punishing talks. There were 38 talks spread among five tracks: Application Security, Computer Forensics and Log Analysis, Privacy and Anonymity and Zero Day Defense. A new track was held, Turbo Talks, which comprised a faster paced track during which talks are just twenty minutes long, compared to the usual one- hour-and-fifteen-minute talk length.

On day two, we listened to the Google Hacking talk. In addition, I interviewed Lukas Grunwald, who explained some of the vulnerabilities of RFID tags and his RFDUMP tool.
