Ask The Expert Webcast: Late-Breaking Computer Attack Vectors by Mike Poor

This lively session will discuss recent and anticipated computer and network attack vectors, showing the most powerful tools in the bad guys' arsenal today and predicting where they are headed in the future. Specific topics to be discussed include client-side exploitation and the rise of privilege escalation attacks against Windows Vista and other operating systems. We'll also analyze the recent evolution of cross-site scripting attacks and their increasing perniciousness, allowing attackers to control a browser behind a firewall simply because a user surfed to their site. Finally, we'll talk about methods for invading the Windows Vista kernel. For each attack vector, we'll look at practical, real-world solutions for stemming the tide.
