Ruxcon, Australia's only 'grass roots' security conference, will in Sydney this weekend showcase Australia's top minds in the cloak and dagger world of information security.
A server discovered in June contained 50GB of stolen user account and financial details, including 9,000 bank and credit-card account credentials and 463,582 user account passwords, according to a report published at the Black Hat conference last week.
Three journalists for a French security magazine were kicked out of the Black Hat security conference after they allegedly sniffed the press room computer network on Thursday.
Security researcher Dan Kaminsky has offered more details about a fundamental flaw in the Domain Name System and the extent of the vulnerability.
Just days before the annual Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, a talk on Apple's FileVault encryption system has been abruptly cancelled by its presenter.
David Litchfield, the UK security expert at the centre of the current Oracle security scare, sets the record straight.
Increasingly, attackers are using better tools to find vulnerabilities quickly, exploit flaws and hide their attacks.
Mudge, Kevin Mitnick, Adrian Lamo, Jericho and Raven Alder speak to ZDNet Australia about the making of a hacker.
In this special report for ZDNet Australia Lance Spitzner, the founder of the Honeynet Project, explains why honeypot technologies are set to become a commercially relevant and acceptable intrusion detection methodology.
Low morale among technology staff is likely epidemic today, thanks to years of layoffs, extended work schedules, declining profits, cancelled projects, and reduced perks due to tightened budgets.
It's an unlikely pairing: security officials and underground hackers. Every year, they make peace and share information at Defcon, Black Hat's sister conference.
While the media was preoccupied with Code Red last weekend, a second major worm was making the rounds. SirCam didn't target the White House, nor did it capitalise on Microsoft's vulnerabilities, nor did it specifically target Outlook. Stealth was just what the virus writer wanted, and under the crush of Code Red's press coverage, that's what SirCam got. Now SirCam is the number one virus in the world.
