VB2016 preview: Mobile Applications: a Backdoor into Internet of Things?
The recent discovery of a one-million-device IoT botnet used for DDoS attacks should be ample proof that concerns over the security of the Internet of Things are not merely theoretical. Unfortunately, the use of specific components and the wide variety among them makes reverse engineering such devices rather complicated. But it doesn’t need to be,…

Small Talks return to the Virus Bulletin Conference
VB2015 was the 25th Virus Bulletin conference and, to celebrate the occasion, we added a third stream to the programme. Dubbed “Small Talks”, these talks were longer than those on the regular programme and took place in a smaller room, which allowed for a more informal discussion.

The VB2016 conference programme is already chock-a-block with more than 40 talks on a wide range of security subjects – but the security landscape changes quickly and, as in previous years, we have set aside a number of slots for ” last-minute ” papers, dealing with emerging…

BSides Denver to take place the day after VB2016
VB2016 , the 26th International Virus Bulletin conference, is an excellent reason to visit Denver, Colorado in the first week of October this year. Of course, we are biased, but a look at the packed programme will hopefully convince you too. There is another reason to come to Denver this October though: BSides Denver will…

VB2015 paper: VolatilityBot: Malicious Code Extraction Made by and for Security Researchers

IBM Trusteer researcher Martin Korman wrote one such tool, ‘VolatilyBot’, which extracts malicious code from packed binaries, leveraging the functionality of the Volatility Framework . At VB2015 in Prague,…
