Register for Discounted Black Hat Federal 2006 Through 20 January

Last month I mentioned I would attend Black Hat Federal Briefings 2006 in Crysal City, Arlington, VA. You can now register at a discounted rate through 20 January.

These are the briefings that look interesting to me:

• Finding Digital Evidence in Physical Memory by Mariusz Burdach or Breakable by David Litchfield


• Implementing and Detecting An ACPI BIOS Rootkit by John Heasman or Beyond EIP by spoonm & skape


• Rootkit Hunting vs. Compromise Detection by Joanna Rutkowska


• New Directions in Disk Forensics by Simson L. Garfinkel or Client Side Penetration Testing by Max Caceres


• FragFS: An Advanced NTFS Data Hiding Technique by Irby Thompson


• Analysis of Adversarial Code: Problem, Challenges, Results by Arun Lakhotia


• Attacks on Unitialized Local Variables by Halvar Flake


• Playing Server Hide and Seek by Paul Syverson & Lasse Øverlier or Analysis of Web Application Worms and Viruses by Billy Hoffman


• My IDS is better than yours. Or is it? by Stefano Zanero


• How to Automatically Sandbox IIS With Zero False Positive and Negative by Tzi-cker Chiueh


• SCADA Security and Terrorism: We're Not Crying Wolf! by David Maynor & Robert Graham or Nematodes by David Aitel

As you can see, I haven't made up my mind yet. If I'm lucky some of the presentations will be moved around to reduce the conflicts!
