Black Hat Europe 2011 is now over and we are very happy to have participated once again in the best European IT security conference!

Continuing from our last year’s presentation, our talk this year focused on operating system kernel protections. Specifically, our researchers Patroklos Argyroudis and Dimitris Glynos collected their experiences from kernel exploit development and presented the ways in which modern operating systems protect their kernels from memory corruption attacks.

census researchers will be presenting “Protecting the Core”, an analysis of kernel exploitation mitigations at Black Hat Europe 2011. Once again this year, the European Black Hat Briefings conference will be held in Barcelona, Spain. We hope to see you there!

Update: Whitepaper and slides are now available here.

Black Hat Europe 2010 is now over and after a brief ash cloud caused delay I am back in Greece. It has been a great conference, flawlessly organised and with many outstanding presentations. I would like to thank everyone that attended my presentation but also all the kind people that spoke to me before and afterwards. I hope to meet all of you again at a future event.

census will be presenting “Binding the Daemon”, an in-depth analysis of FreeBSD kernel stack and kernel heap exploitation methodologies at Black Hat Europe 2010. This year the European Black Hat Briefings conference will be held in Barcelona, Spain. We hope to see you there!

Update: The presentation slides, whitepaper and source code are now available here.
