Title: Remote detection of "passive" promiscuous devices
By: Mudge, VP of Research and Development, @stake
Formerly of the L0pht
Time/Place: Mon 11 Sep 2000 4-5pm Room NE43-518
Mudge, the former CEO and Chief Scientist of the L0pht, will lead
a discussion on remote detection of "passive" promiscuous devices.
Such devices attempt to eavesdrop on network traffic without
being detected. Mudge will discuss methods to detect them.
Mudge is the original author of L0phtCrack, an NT password
auditing tool. In addition, Mudge co-authored AntiSniff, a
remote promiscuous mode detection program. He has written over
a dozen advisories and various tools -- many of which resulted
in numerous CERT advisories, vendor updates, and patches.
He has been called to testify before the Senate Committee on
Governmental Affairs and be a witness to the House and Senate
joint Judiciary Oversight committee. Mudge has briefed a wide
range of members of Congress and has conducted training courses
for the Department of Justice, NASA, the US Air Force, and other
government agencies. In February, following the wave of denial
of service attacks on consumer Web sites, Mudge participated in
President Clinton's security summit at the White House.
