Eclypsium Principal Researchers Mickey Shkatov and Jesse Michael will present “Bytes in Disguise” at DEF CON 28 SAFE MODE.
Non-Volatile Memory. EVERY computer has it, from the chip that stores your BIOS to the controller that runs your laptop trackpad and even your new USB-C monitor. These small nooks of storage can be (ab)used by anyone to store data or code without causing any side effects and none would be the wiser. Mickey and Jesse will show you more than one example of how this is possible, walk through how to do it, and what can be done to detect and lock down systems.
Their presentation will be available on Sunday, August 9th, and you can join them for a live Q&A online at 10:30 AM. Details here >
