Its not as technical but more of a playful look at deployment,
implementation and user awareness. I do talk a little about the Null
Prefix Attack, however its not focused on that and its just a fleeting
glance at it. The abstract is below, i have to say sorry to our leader
for not getting the abstract to him sooner, was ill and then it was
little Maia's birthday, all that she does enjoy defeating secure
protocols, it would seem not on her borthday;<br>

<pre wrap="">SSL/TLS - Just when you thought it was safe to return
2009 was a serious year in breaking secure protocols. SSL/TLS was no
different. Hacking SSL/TLS has a big return as a blackhat hacker, once
you penetrate a corporate network, stealing login details and passwords
are just the beginning. SSL VPN's can also be vulnerable to a number of
attacks. There are a number of tools and techniques that are readily
available that can make defeating SSL/TLS both simple and well with in
the reach of the unauthorized attackers.
The talk focus on the research and tools of Moxie Marlinspike, who has
gained an excellent reputation as an independent security research.
With some interesting attack vectors, you'll be surprised at the results
one can achieve
Its no longer a case of user awareness</pre>
