Hey Alan,

Can't believe I forgot that one. Thanks for the reminder. Excellent stuff.

Welcome to EH-Net,
Don

PS to ALL - If there are any other conferences around the globe, please PM me to include it on our calendar. That way all can know about it and hopefully participate.

Not that I know of. We provide the ChicagoCon files for download for free but not the video stream live or after the fact. That is an impressive offering.

i missed this before! this is quite scary stuff

One presentation in 25c3 showed how they created a rogue certificate authority that looks like a trusted CA (with the help of 200 Playstation 3's to do the work) by exploiting collisions in MD5. Read more about it here

You can find the video of the presentation on the site linked above, if they have any bandwidth available!
