Speaker: Ari Trachtenberg, Boston University Electrical and Computer Engineering
NISLAB weekly seminar, in conjuction with the RISCS center
Abstract:
This month’s Blackhat conference covered a frightening array of potential exploits, including:
- Setting up rogue base stations to take over cellphones
- Attempts at technical attribution of the Stuxnet worm
- Bypassing tamper-evident seals
- Counterattacking hackers
- Making your cellphone look like a mouse
- Attacking the clouds
This presentation will cover as many of these as time allows, with an *attempt* to minimize required technical background.
Supported with funds from the College of Engineering Inaugural Innovative Engineering Education Faculty Fellowship.
