The Hack in the Box (HITB) conference that took place in Dubai, was all in all great fun. I would like to personally thank Dhillon, Belinda, Amy and everybody else from the HITB crew for making this event possible and making sure that everybody had a good time. The devil is in the details and this is what makes HITB the best conference in Asia and the middle-east region. I am anxiously looking forward to HITB KL.

HITB Dubai 2008

It is needless to say that we’ve made a lot of friends, talked to some of the best minds in the security world, and even had the chance to present ourselves. Adrian presented his talk on Cracking into Embedded Devices for the first time. You can check his slides over here. I repeated my Client-side hacking talk from Black Hat Europe 2008 but with a few modifications. You can check the slides from here. The actual paper can be downloaded from here.

Again, the event was great. The amount of effort the HITB crew put into the preparation was evident all the way till the end. We highly recommend to attend any of the following HITB events as they are very much worth it.
