    BlackHat/Defcon
 
    Arm  exploitation talk - in contact with the speaker, they give courses and  it looked pretty good. Others in Security Assurance (Fennec! FirefoxOS!  ;) may be interested
 
    NFC exploits talk
 
    Shows that the Android sandboxing via kernel capabilities is effective, as well as using java (=bound checking)
 
    DDOS  talk - we know most about this, but we aren't blocking all that well.  Have a bug with rate-limit "request" for download.mozilla.org this week.  Note that DDOS via TCP exhaustion and the like, are very common,  according to the talk
 
    TPM  talk - that was interesting. Some comparisons with ARM TrustedZones,  although TZ is actually much more powerfull (the auhor had only TPM  experience)
 
    IPv6  talk - mentionned that the ip range banning issue which caught my ear -  too many ips to ban. it is true and we're not really caring for that  yet, but we will have to eventually. Rate limiting may have the same  issue the way we do it atm. I'm thinking per IP rate limit *and* bad  network rate limit on top (cumulative), but it's hard to say if that's  sufficient
 
    Dan  Kaminsky scanrand (v3) talk, he made a new version, its faster apparently by bypassing the kernel and just sending raw syns without caring for replies (server handle state!) but.. i was disappointed with scanrand 2 which had similar features.. something to check
 
    Talk  about ICANN/Goverment control/Lobbies vs us and the Internet freedom as  we know it. Interesting. One speaker suggested to regularly remind  authorities how dangerous this could become, without pissing them off  (which would lead them to create laws for the lobbies and against our  freedom)
 
    Had great feedback for a system-wide colleration mechanism similar to network NSMs+correlation. This one could be huge.
 
    Badge/boards of defcon are very cool!
