Black Hat Free Webcast #4 Thursday, Oct. 16 1pm PST
Thu Oct 09 15:08:32 2008In this webcast, we take the amazing Kapela/Pilosov BGP hijacking presentation at DEFCON 16 as a starting point and look into the issues that relate to securing a world-wide trust-based network. If you missed it, they did a lot more than just present a talk - they actually intercepted and rerouted all the traffic from the notorioulsy hostile DEFCON network as a proof of the concept. Not only did it work, but it was almost completely invisible to congoers. Anton Kapela presents, with Jeff Moss and a couple of special guests. To learn more, click here. To register, click here
