  • VB2014 paper: DNSSEC – how far have we come?

    Nick Sullivan describes how DNSSEC uses cryptography to add authentication and integrity to DNS responses. Over the next months, we will be sharing conference papers as well as video recordings of the presentations. Today, we have added ‘DNSSEC – how far have we come?’ by CloudFlare’s Nick Sullivan. It is rather scary to think about…

  • VB2014 paper: The evolution of webinjects

    Jean-Ian Boutin looks at the increased commoditization of webinjects. Virus Bulletin has always been about sharing information, and the Virus Bulletin conference is an important part of that. We would love to be able to share some of the discussions attendees had during the lunch and coffee breaks, the late-night or early-morning meetings in the…

  • VB2014: Slides day three

    Thanks all for a fantastic conference and see you in Prague… or in Denver! Two days ago, a lively panel discussion closed what we can only describe as a fantastic conference. For those that were here, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and we hope you found a lot of inspiration…

  • VB2014: Slides day two

    Another day of excellent presentations. The second day of VB2014 was just as successful as the first one, and saw 22 interesting presentations, divided over two parallel streams, on a wide range of security topics. They included the seven last-minute papers that were added to the programme only three weeks ago. Just as yesterday, many…

  • VB2014: Slides day one

    Almost £1,300 donated to WWF! The inaugural Virus Bulletin conference was held in 1991, making it one of the oldest security conferences in the world.

  • VB2014 preview: keynote and closing panel

    Vulnerability disclosure one of the hottest issues in security. In the proceedings of the 24th Virus Bulletin conference , the words ‘vulnerabilty’ and ‘vulnerabilities’ occur more than 200 times. I think there is no better way to demonstrate how important a topic this is. Some approach vulnerabilities from a purely defensive point of view: how…

  • VB2014 preview: last-minute papers added to the programme

    Hot topics to be covered at VB2014 conference in Seattle. Although most of the VB2014 conference programme was announced back in April, it looks anything but dated. A paper on malicious ads became even more hot when java.com was found to serve such ads, while the recent data breach at Home Depot increased the relevance…
