Dale Neufeld
Blackberry malware (and a live demo).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Topic: BlackBerry Malware by Karim Nathoo
> As network infrastructure security evolves, organisations are being
> increasingly targeted through their user base. The subject of
> traditional client side exploitation has been extensively studied;
> however, this presentation explores the possibility of client side
> exploitation through mobile device malware. In particular, this talk
> will explore approaches for creating malware for BlackBerry handsets.
> Among the issues to be discussed are code signing and application
> distribution, infection vectors, handset attack surfaces, covert
> channel and ex-filtration options, surveillance mechanisms and the
> feasibility/usefulness of a BlackBerry based Botnet.
> After the presentation we'll have plenty of time for Q&A, as well as
> our usual discussion of current topics, threats, and tools.
> Please feel free to pass this info along to any infosec professionals
> that might be interested.
> What:
> An informal meetup of information security professionals in Ottawa
> based on the citysec model. Unlike other meetups, you will not be
> expected to pay dues, "join up", or endure vendor marketing pitches.
> Check your certifications at the door.
> Where:
> The Clock Tower Brew Pub, 575 Bank St (Bank at Pretoria). We'll be in
> the room downstairs.
> When:
> Monday, July 6 at 7:00 p.m.
> Contact:
> Dale Neufeld (canuck.eh [at] gmail.com) or Mike Sues (msues [at]
> rigelksecurity.com). RSVPs are appreciated so that we can make proper
> arrangements with the pub.
