Title: Search Engine Hacking: Finding Credit Cards, Social Security Numbers, and Frighteningly More

Abstract: 

This presentation is for anyone interested in learning the true power of search. While the vast majority of people think of search engines as gateways to movie times, shopping deals, and a little fact-checking, the reality is that advanced search queries are being used via the most popular search engines every day to find unbelievable types of information. Search has proven time and again that even the most paranoid and cautious individuals can find themselves on the business end of identity theft, and they'd never know how it happened. If you don't know how to use a search engine to find credit card scans, Social Security numbers, usernames and passwords, VPN credentials, back-up images, virtual machine installs, software licenses, confidential documents, private image/video dumps, or similarly fascinating/frightening data, then I'm offering you the chance to take the red pill and see just how deep the search engine rabbit hole really goes...

Title:

Terminal Cornucopia

Abstract:

In this talk, I explore a seldom-discussed facet of airport security: what happens after the backscatter/millimeter wave scan or the friendly pat-down? A marginally resourceful and MacGyver-esque individual can breeze through terminal gift shops, restaurants, magazine stands and duty-free shops to find everything they need to wage war on an airplane. We'll take weapons — melee, projectile, and beyond — from concept to prototype in this serious (yet often humorous) talk, replete with photos and video.
