Programme:

Reverse Engineering, a skill-set that has been the prerequisite for many good security professionals (hackers), has been underrated or even ignored by the security professionals in Asia. Security professionals in the west have been highly dependent on reverse engineering skills to discover vulnerabilities in in-house developed applications/software or finding malicious software. Such skill-set or discovery is almost unheard of, if not rarely, in this part of the world. Why is this so?

This presentation will provide an introductory understanding to the audience
on what reverse engineering is all about, and the important role that it plays in the security industry.

Speakers Background:

Mr. Thomas Lim is the Founder and CEO of COSEINC and SyScan. Previously as the head of IT Security in CSA Singapore, he was highly disappointed with all the so-called Security seminars organised by the various vendors as they turn out be nothing but a sales and marketing pitch. In 2004, he founded SyScan, a true-blue technical-based and vendor neutral IT security conference with a strong emphasis on cutting edge security research. Today, in its 6th year, SyScan is one of the most recognised security conferences in the security community. As for COSEINC, this is the only privately based and funded security research company in Singapore, which became highly prominent in the security community after the publication of “BluePill” – the first hardware based VM rootkit back in 2006.

Mr. Ben Nagy is a security researcher with COSEINC, currently working out of Kuala Lumpur. For the past few months he has been working full time in the guts of the Word 2007 Binary Format and integrating the results into Metafuzz, his ruby-based fuzzing framework. Previously working on liver destruction with eEye in Geneva and Bangkok, Ben has written whitepapers on a number of subjects and presented at several conferences in Europe (Infosecurity in London) and Asia (Ruxcon). These papers include:

"SEH security changes in XPSP2"
"Generic Anti-Exploitation Technology for Windows"
