Fri Aug 1 19:27:32 2008Here's a link to a story in InfoWorld that deals with the subject of McFeters, Heasman and Carter's BH USA 2008 presentation, entitled The Internet is Broken. The researchers will demo software they've created that makes it possible to create files that look to a server like a standard graphic file but to a browser appear to be a Java Applet. This could enable attackers to run malicious Java code in the victim's browser. If you're in Vegas for Black Hat, they are speaking on August 7 at 3:15pm in the Florentine Ballroom.
