Black Hat 2017 is just getting started.
There’s some overlap with DEFCON 25. For example, hacking wind farm control networks and the SHA-1 hash talk are on both schedules. But there are also a few things unique to the Black Hat 2017 schedule:
- “Breaking Electronic Door Locks Like You’re on CSI: Cyber“. (Hey, didn’t they cancel that?) I suspect there may be some Bluetooth involved here.
- “Hacking Hardware with a $10 SD Card Reader“. I would enjoy watching this, and will enjoy reading about it, but I lack the hardware skills to actually do this.
- “Go Nuclear: Breaking Radiation Monitoring Devices“
- “Intercepting iCloud Keychain“. The use of the words “would have” in the abstract makes me think Apple’s already patched this issue, but you never know…
- “The Future of ApplePwn – How to Save Your Money“. “We’ll present a specially developed opensource utilities which demonstrates how hackers can reconnect your card to their iPhone or make fraudulent payments directly on the victim’s phone, even without a jailbreak.”
- “Broadpwn: Remotely Compromising Android and iOS via a Bug in Broadcom’s Wi-Fi Chipsets“. If memory serves, this got a lot of recent attention.
- “Hunting GPS Jammers“. Radio. GPS. There.
- “Attacking Encrypted USB Keys the Hard(ware) Way“.
- “Exploiting Network Printers“.
- “Free-Fall: Hacking Tesla from Wireless to CAN Bus“. Based on the abstract, it looks like Tesla has already fixed the issues, but the process of finding and exploiting them might still be interesting.
The same rules for the DEFCON post apply here: if you’re a presenter who wants some love, or if you want me to follow a specific talk, leave a comment.
