How Do I Pwn Thee? Let Me Count The Ways

Presented at The Last HOPE (2008), July 18, 2008, 9 p.m. (60 minutes).

The business world has spawned a new kind of creature, the mobile, traveling worker. This creature typically carries a multitude of wireless devices on them while traveling to and from clients. Unless special care has been taken, these devices present a plethora of ways to pwn them and their data. This talk will take a look at a worst case scenario and go through all the ways one of these business travelers can be pwn'd at a distance by a bored attacker in an airport, hotel, or other public space.
