ZeroNights, Virtually Impossible and Premium Materials

By Yiftach Keshet | December 3, 2013

Earlier this month, Cyvera’s Chief Research Officer Gal Diskin traveled to ZeroNights conference hosted in Moscow in order to present his research on Virtualization Security, titled “Virtually Impossible: The Reality of Virtualization Security”. Today we’re releasing additional materials and some notes about the conference.

ZeroNights is an international two-day conference, this year marking its third anniversary. It deals with “the practical side of information security” and aims to present new attack methods and threats, discover new possibilities of attacks and defenses, and suggest innovative security solutions. Aside from being highly educational, this year the conference provided a good opportunity to review Cyvera’s solution in light of current trends. We recommend that you look at the conference materials that include, among many very interesting presentations, a presentation from Mateusz ‘j00ru’ Jurczyk, titled “Windows Kernel Trap Handler and NTVDM Vulnerabilities — Case Study”.

Due to the wide interest we have witnessed in “Virtually Impossible”, we are unveiling today additional premium materials related to this research. The additional materials include backup slides that were not presented and some of the slide notes that better explain material in the slides and provide sources and references. The premium materials are automatically available to our customers, but non-customers can also request them via the contact us page – please specify your interest in the “comments” field and you will receive the slides to your email within 24 hours.

For those interested in “Virtually Impossible”, we also recommend checking the talk details for the 30th Chaos Communication Congress once those are released. You might have another opportunity to see the talk delivered live…
