Register for NetKotH @Hack3rcon @hack3rcon

I am pretty excited about NetKotH coming to Hack3rCon. I hear that there have been some new twists and turns added to the scenario. I can't wait! 
-Rob 

What is NetKotH? 



Network King of the Hill
(NetKotH)



****Win A Netbook w/ BT4 BlackHat Edition installed 
***Other Prizes

Adrian Crenshaw and Martin Bos are running a live hacking event.

Scoring:
1. The teams will be given IPs to web servers with vulnerabilities to attack, their goal is to deface the front page on each. Expect there to be a Linux and a Windows box, and maybe some surprises.  :)  The IPs for this game are:
10.0.0.1           Linux
10.0.0.2           Windows
10.0.0.3           Wildcard

Versions will be switching during the game.
2. Teams try to put up their own defacement, take down other people's defacement, and lock down the box to keep others teams out. The teams name must be in the <team></team> tag when they deface the site for the scoring system to register it, but they can change the page however they like.
3. Once per minute (more or less) the scoring software will see who currently owns the site, and score it.
4. Referees will work as a blue team to occasionally step in and change things on the target IPs. Fix the defacement, patch, roll back changes, switch Operating Systems, etc, just to even the playing field and make things interesting.
Rules:
1. Only penetrate the hosts at the given IPs, not the scoring box (10.0.0.99) or other contestant's boxes. XSS of a player may be ok as long as it’s not destructive. >:)
2. DoS and network routing/traffic attacks are allowed, even on the traffic coming to and from contestants and the scoring box.
3. Stay on the NetKotH network while attacking.
4. Martin and Adrian may change/add other rules at will.
You may view the current scores by surfing to 10.0.0.99.

'Pre-crime' Comes to the HR Dept.

There's no way around it: The Minority Report Pre-crime concept is coming to HR.


Because it is too funny!

Trojan forces Firefox to secretly store passwords:

Trojan forces Firefox to secretly store passwords: A trojan recently analysed by Webroot is said to rely
on retrieving web page passwords from a browser's password storage, rather than logging a user's keyboard
inputs. To make sure it will find all the interesting passwords in Firefox, the malware, called PWS-Nslog,
makes some changes to jog the browser's memory. A few manipulations in a JavaScript file prompt Firefox to
store log-in information automatically and without requesting the user's consent. The malware will, for
instance, simply comment out Firefox's confirmation request in the nsLoginManagerPrompter.js file and add a
line with automatic storage instructions. ... According to Webroot, the malware author didn't put any effort into
covering his tracks, as the malware contains a name as well as a Gmail address. Furthermore, Webroot soon
found the Facebook page of the allegedly Iranian developer who claims he develops crimeware for fun.
