census has participated once again at AthCon, the leading technical IT security conference in Greece. Our work entitled “Introducing the Parasite” presented a small device that is capable of creating a physical backdoor in an otherwise protected network.

census is happy to be participating for the second time at AthCon, the leading technical IT security conference in Greece! At this year’s conference, our researcher Nikos Tsagkarakis will be presenting the “Parasite”, a small device that is capable of creating a physical backdoor in an otherwise protected network.

AthCon 2010 is now over and I must say that I’m really looking forward to next year’s event! Kudos to Christian, Kyprianos, Fotis, Chariton, Bernardo, Sandro, Iftach, Corrado, Rodrigo, Alberto and everyone else for making this such a great event!

The main theme of my presentation was “Context-keyed payload encoding”, a shellcode encoding technique that allows attackers to evade detection from NIDS that employ dynamic payload analysis.

census will be presenting “Context-keyed Payload Encoding: Fighting the Next Generation of IDS” at AthCon 2010. AthCon is a fresh IT security conference which will take place this summer in Greece! Our presentation will cover the latest in IDS evasion techniques for targeted shellcode and will feature new Metasploit modules implementing the presented techniques.
