Beating a less-dead horse: The current state of .NET reversing

Presented at Summercon 2013, June 7, 2013, 11 a.m. (50 minutes)

All the cool kids are reversing C apps, mobile is the (relatively) new hotness, and Java is a long-moldering corpse of failure. It's time to pick on a new, somewhat neglected red-headed stepchild: .NET. This talk will cover the current state of the art in .NET reversing, down from PE format of .NET assemblies through various types of obuscation, and into reversing tools and techniques. Finally, we will get a little Inception-esque by reversing Reflector inside Reflector in an attempt to modify its behavior.

Presenters:

• Kelly Lum / Aloria   as Aloria
  Aloria leads the application security team at a financial organization. She has had a love/hate relationship with Microsoft programming languages since she wrote her first QBasic app at the tender age of 11. She is afraid of clowns and hasn't quite been the same since the accident.
