WhiteHat Security, a provider of website risk management solutions, announced that Jeremiah Grossman, the company’s founder and CTO, will lead a speaking session at Black Hat USA 2010 in Las Vegas.
Grossman will present “Breaking Browsers: Hacking Auto-Complete” on July 29.
“Breaking Browsers: Hacking Auto-Complete” will demonstrate a variety of attacks including how malicious websites, laced with javascript malware, can steal passwords for other websites stored in Firefox’s password manager. He will also reveal how to mine out HTML form auto-complete data with javascript in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
While several of the Web hacking techniques Grossman will discuss are publicly documented, they are not very well-known and/or are being ignored by browser vendors and Web security researchers. The session will also include live demos that bring these malevolent techniques to the surface and help the audience gain a better understanding of the hacks and how they can be prevented.
In addition, at the Cloud Security Alliance Summit in cooperation with Black Hat, Grossman will be co-presenting with Wolfgang Kandek, CTO, Qualys, on a session titled, “CSA Application Security Findings.” This session will be held from 11 – 11:30 a.m. PT at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, on site at the Black Hat USA 2010.
