BLACK HAT JAPAN 2005 PODCASTS
The presentations from the recent Black Hat Japan Briefings are now
on-line. We are also experimenting with new ways to share our content with
the community, and the first of these is to release some of the audio
recordings as “pod casts” in .m4a format through our RSS feed.
BLACK PAGE UPDATE
Early next week you will see my first written statement regarding the
Cisco/ISS incident that occurred at the summer Black Hat in Las Vegas. The
issues brought up last summer are im****tant to the entire security
community and I invite the community to read and reflect on my thoughts,
as well as those of other security experts.

FEDERAL 2006 CALL FOR PAPERS
Black Hat is proud to return to Wa****ngton D.C. after its last Briefings
in 2003. For 2006 there will be expanded training offerings, focused
presentations, and a convenient central location two metro stops from the
Pentagon.
Black Hat Federal 2006 is a unique show specifically crafted to look at
issues im****tant to those charged with protecting critical networks and
information from the most sophisticated adversaries. Submissions should be
very technical and specific to threats and defenses that surround the
challenging security problems facing hosts and networks today. We hope to
offer a federal perspective on security issues and new directions to
further security trade craft.
The Federal Government faces different threat models than the cor****ate
community, with adversaries having different motivations, resources, and
tools. Submissions should reflect this difference, with suggested topics
including the current state of root kits and their detection, network IDS
evasion & detection, covert communications, reverse engineering /
anti-reverse engineering, defeating biometric systems, and the current
state of the exploit development life cycle.

WHAT IS THE BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS?
The Black Hat Briefings fill the need for computer security professionals
to better understand the security risks and potential threats to their
information infrastructures and computer systems. Black Hat accomplishes
this by assembling a group of vendor-neutral security professionals and
having them present candidly about the problems businesses face and their
solutions to those problems. No gimmicks - just straight talk by people
who make it their business to explore the ever-changing security space.
