Windows Kernel Fuzzing

A distributed fuzzing technique was developed to target the Windows kernel and identify critical vulnerabilities. The approach focused on generating high-quality test cases to detect potential privilege escalation and sandbox breakout exploits. The fuzzing method scaled across hundreds of CPU cores to systematically assess the kernel's attack surface.

Mission mPOSsible

A security presentation examined the vulnerabilities of mobile Point-of-Sale (mPOS) devices used with mobile platforms. The study investigated potential risks to sensitive customer payment data in emerging payment technologies. Findings were presented at Syscan 2014 and Blackhat USA 2014 by Nils and Jon.

Polishing Chrome for Fun and Profit (NSC)

A presentation at the Nordic Security Conference detailed a full sandbox escape vulnerability in Google Chrome. The vulnerability was successfully exploited at the Pwn2Own 2013 hacking competition. Technical details of compromising Chrome's security mechanisms were demonstrated by MWR's Nils and Jon.

Security Testing 4G (LTE) Networks

This presentation explores security testing methodologies for 4G (LTE) networks. The shift to IP-based communications in LTE networks introduces potential new security risks. The talk aims to provide insights into network security assessment and potential vulnerabilities in LTE deployments.

PinPadPwn

A presentation at BlackHat 2012 exposed critical security vulnerabilities in payment terminals. Memory corruption attacks were demonstrated to be possible through complex input handling and network interfaces. The research highlighted potential code execution risks in payment terminal systems.
