This tutorial explores new concepts in web security. After a solid grounding in well-known exploits, I'll demonstrate how traditional exploits are being combined together and with other technologies to launch sophisticated attacks that penetrate firewalls, target users, and spread like worms. I'll then discuss some ideas for the future to help you provide a better, more secure user experience.

The framework for our country is our laws and our principles. But
increasingly, as a nation, we can't express these principles or uphold
our laws without the right software in place to support them. A new

the Open Source community should lead the way.

Even if you are successful using open source sofware, there's something special about hardware: It's physical. You can touch it. You build it (not compile it). This is a talk about the Arduino open source physical computing platform; a cheap, useful, fun micro-controller ... and it's loads of fun, even if you break into a cold sweat at the thought of picking up a soldering iron.

The iPhone platform is surprisingly powerful, capable of performing fairly advanced feats of computer-vision in (near to) real-time. The talk walks attendees through the procedure of cross-compiling the OpenCV computer vision library for the iPhone Simulator and device hardware, and building a simple application to perform face recognition using the iPhone's camera.
