First day at Black Hat, and aside from it being very hot here, the show is going very well. There is a lot of chatter regarding the practical implications of an MD2 preimage attack as well as how several white-hat hackers were compromised in the past week. There is also the typical chattering of the standard fare of web application security research and associated attacks and defense techniques.
The most interesting material will probably be presented today, during the mobile threats track – got a sneak preview at a new SMS attack that is pretty impressive and may cause migraines for unprepared mobile providers in the next few months. Other than that, curious to see what the other presenters have to say about the mobile platforms they have examined.
