McAfee Labs :

From the Floor of BlackHat and DefCon…

Your roving man-on-the-street Dave Marcus here at the middle escalator leading up to BlackHat 2007! I cannot really say that I am overflowing with excitement yet as I am fully un-caffeinated which is a rather disturbing thing considering all the content today.

I am looking forward to many of the briefings over the next several days–virtualization, stealth, fuzzing, etc. My geek cup truly runneth over. Avert Labs has a good showing this year at both BlackHat and DefCon as we have presentations at both. John Viega and Dave Coffey will be presenting on building effective application security at BlackHat, while Dirk Kollberg and Toralv Dirro will be discussing recent changes in Trojan developments at DefCon.

I will be attending briefings, blogging on happenings and cornering the l33tz for interviews for our AudioParasitics podcast. Stay tuned!
