Thought this might be of interest to Linux (often security talks are windows issues related) and other people needing to analyse strange binaries under Linux. Andrew ------- Ruxmon Melbourne is on this Friday. As usual, we will adjourn to the Oxford Scholar for a meal and a bit of a meet and greet. Ruxmon is a free monthly community security event organised and run by the Ruxmon team. We are currently looking for some new Ruxmon speakers. Please email me if you would like to speak on anything security related for between 10-30 minutes in front a small and non-intimidating audience. For more information please visit our website: http://www.ruxmon.com Presentations Introductory level hooking in Linux - Ryan Platt This talk will walk through methods of tracking execution of Linux binaries, including an example of a simple Linux Kernel Module hooking the system call table and usermode hooking by patching binaries on disk.Introductory level hooking in Linux. Introducing Daisho: an open source multi-protocol network tap - Dominic Spill Every communication technology should have a widely available network tap, preferably operating as close to the physical layer as possible. If we can't tap the comms, assessing their security is a much harder task. As we try to squeeze more bandwidth out of our links the problem gets even tougher. Our solution to this problem is project Daisho; an open source hardware and software project to build a device that can monitor high speed communication links and pass all of the data back to a host system for analysis. Daiso will include a modular, high bandwidth design that can be extended to monitor future technologies. The project will also produce the first open source USB 3.0 FPGA core, bringing high speed data transfer to any projects that build on the open platform. As a proof of concept at this early stage, Dominic will demonstrate monitoring of a low bandwidth RS-232 connection using our first round of hardware and discuss the challenges involved with the high speed targets that we will take on later this year. http://www.ruxmon.com/Melbourne/ Details Date: Friday, 26th April Time: 6:00PM Location: RMIT University, City Campus https://my.rmit.edu.au/portal/page/portal/RMITPortal/campusmaps?dsize=max Room 080.09.012 (Building 80, Level 9, Room 12) RMIT Building 80 entrance is off Swanston Street (just past Swanston and A'Beckett St) and next door to the Oxford Scholar Hotel.
