management solutions, today announced its
Senior
Security Analyst, Tom Stracener, will be presenting on "Xploiting
Google Gadgets: Gmalware and Beyond" at Black Hat USA 2008 in Las Vegas on
Wednesday, August 6.
This talk will analyze the security history of Google Gadgets and
demonstrate ways to exploit Gadgets for nefarious purposes. Google Gadgets
are the applications created to run within other applications like email or
on an iGoogle homepage that hackers can use to attack a PC or network. Mr.
Stracener has already ported various JavaScript attack utilities to Google
Gadgets (like PDP's JavaScript port scanner) and will demonstrate ways to
create Gadgets that allow you to port scan internal systems and conduct
various JavaScript hacks via malicious gadgets. This presentation will also
disclose a "zero day" vulnerability in Google Gadgets that makes Gmalware a
significant threat.
