http://infiltratecon.com/speakers.html First of all, I wanted to comment on the selection of the keynote speakers , Andrew Cushman and Thomas Lim. What we looked for in a keynote speaker was "unique and relevant perspective". Keynotes are not supposed to be technical - and are generally much harder to write and give than technical talks. They bring together vast, disparate subjects into a coherent picture. They are non-linear. They should inspire you, rather than inform you. Thomas Lim, is someone many of you know from his SyScan conference, or from his work as CEO of COSEINC. In my opinion, he's one of the most underestimated people in the industry - always at the heart of it, yet never in the spotlight. His geographical position and focus (I think he speaks all the languages in SE Asia) and his over a decade of experience in the offensive information security world allows him to bring a strategic attacker's eye perspective on the conference topics. Andrew Cushman, of course, speaks from the other side of the chasm. I first met him while working for @stake as a consultant, helping Microsoft secure IIS 6.0. And to this day, there is nothing publicly available that targets IIS 6 in a real way. In this industry, sometimes people make a real difference. Andrew Cushman is one of them and over the last decade, Andrew Cushman and Co. has been the team to beat. And of course, the technical talks, which are entirely offensive in nature, without rules or limits on disclosure policies. There are slightly less talks on heap overflows this year - but the talks are still technically challenging. I'm encouraging the team to have Cuban coffee available at all times to make sure you can keep up with advanced C++ static analysis from Julian Vanegue , or the updated BEAST talk, or Leonardo Alminana talking about Real World ???????. You can hit the speaker's link above for the full list of talks (which we extended to 8 a day). There's some surprises. We know you like surprises. -dave -- INFILTRATE 2012 January 12th-13th in Miami - the world's best offensive information security conference. www.infiltratecon.com
