Gunter Ollmann, Vice President of Research at Damballa, presents:
"Your Computer Is Worth 30¢: This Battle for Control of Your Computer Isn't Personal, Its Business.

Abstract: The botnet ecosystem is evolving at a rapid pace. Specialized services have come to fill every niche of the hacking world. The frontline is rarely the mechanical process of exploitation and infection - instead it lies with innovative 24x7 support and helpdesk ticketing systems - quality of service is the competitive edge. How much is your computer worth to them? The price point is dropping day-by-day, but 30 cents is a pretty average trade value. Why is it so low? Because your computer is only part of the ecosystem - and a commodity one at that.

Gunter Ollmann, Vice President of Research at Damballa, presents:
"DIY Malware Construction," in conjuction with the October 2009 Hacker Halted conference.

Abstract: Malware construction is a globally competitive business. Unfortunately, what used to require years of development experience has been boiled down in to a downloadable package and is now publicly available for a nominal fee. The hurdle for would-be criminals to develop custom malware capable of bypassing today's anti-virus technologies has been lowered to no more than a speed-bump and is getting lower. This session will look at the DIY Malware business and how federated construction tactics have led to a pandemic of new malware and nimble botnets.
