Jeremiah Grossman to present Hacking Intranets from the Outside: JavaScript Malware Just Got a lot More Dangerous at Las Vegas Conference
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - July, 17 2006 - WhiteHat Security, a leading provider of website security services, today announced that Jeremiah Grossman, the companys founder and CTO, was selected to present at BlackHat USA 2006 in Las Vegas. At this premier security industry event, Mr. Grossman will reveal how common website vulnerabilities can be exploited to hijack internal networks.
In his presentation, Hacking Intranets from the Outside: JavaScript Malware Just Got a lot More Dangerous, Mr. Grossman will demonstrate how attackers propagate Javascript malware via cross-site scripting (XSS) and other website flaws to control Web browsers and compromise intranet devices. The potentially devastating consequences of these attacks include port scanning internal networks, reconfiguring routers and firewalls, hacking payroll systems and blind web server fingerprinting. He will present on August 3, 2006 at 10:00 a.m.
BlackHat is a great opportunity to share the most cutting-edge information security discoveries, said Mr. Grossman. With the number of applicants and presentation quality increasing each year, its an honor to be selected among the worlds leading experts.
Mr. Grossman is a popular speaker at the BlackHat conferences in the US and Japan. He started a buzz last year with his demonstration of how cross-site scripting, the most common website vulnerability, could be used to create a new breed of phishing attacks. Since then he has also published a comprehensive history of cross-site scripting worms and viruses as well as an introduction to website security. In addition to his duties at WhiteHat, Mr. Grossman is a founder of the website Security Consortium (www.webappsec.org), and a featured expert and frequent columnist on TechTargets SearchAppSecurity website.
