The keynote was given by Alexander Kornbrust who hase choosen an important topic: what to do if you would like to earn your salary by IT security. To be a generalist or a specialist is a good question I can never answere to my students. For instance stuindents at BMF always ask the same questions to me.
After that Buherátor and András Veres-Szentkirályi was talking about the "The hype ant the reallyity behind". I support if someone finally tells the trouth. The media always create sensations however there is no sensation at all. Which is really annoyoing. How sad that they thes slipped out from the time slot and the presentation was a bit onepointzero. Finally they couldnt speak about some BGP vulnerabilities which really interests me. Next year it will be better!
Zoltán Pánczél and Ferenc Spala was talking about an nmap proxy patch, which was excellent. I immediately told them I am willing to write the docs if it is the only object against getting into the mainline.
The rootkit section was started by Csaba Barta. I think the presentation was a bit modified version of the Ethical Hacking's but it was really great. Just like Andras Tevesz's presentation (he is my colleague), however because of the theories there were no time for the demos, but i know he was working a lot on them.
Next day I was really surprised but I spent the whole day in the law and forensics secttion;-)
Zsolt Illési was talking about the CSI of network security (NCSI;-), than I was talking about system logs (they importance and the ways of logtransfer). After that two lawyers was speaking. First Dr. Zoltan Ormós was talking about what can a successfull attack mean. I think it is wise to read the law before doing anything... Yes! Attacking a router of your ISP can be a terror evernt in Hungary, cause it is a common infrastructure. Not funny an all. Than came the other side. Dr. Ágnes Dudás was talking about what to consider when you write a contract about a penetration test. Unfortunately we couldn't find out what to do if a company has different servers in different countries. It is so disappointing, that the IP address do not mean anyhing, even if it is a public IP.
Finally I saw two very interesting presentation. The first was by Balázs Bodó who is a piracy resarcher;-) about downloads in Hungary. It is abvious that they worked a lot on the research and finally they came out with the same result as Lawrence Lessig in the famous Free Culture (must read for everybody;-) that the file share should work as a free/open archive of our cultural heritage. Nowdays it is at least very hard to access. Finally Csaba Krasznay and László Kovács was talking about an imaginary attack agains Hungarian infrastrucutres (electricity, roads, public transport, telecommunication etc). I was calm indeed, because the bulk of the examples used at least bombs or other weapons. I hope noone is so desperate.
All in all the cofenence was okay I really felt good. Thx.
