 * PDF Hacking - Paul Theriault (Link TBA)
 * The plan is to run an informal workshop style presentation with the following objectives:
 * Provide an introduction to PDF format, scripting capabilities and other “features” you wouldn’t expect to see in a document format
 * Learn some basic tools &amp; techniques for analyzing malicious PDF files, for great justice
 * Learn some basic tools &amp; techniques for creating malicious PDF files, for great science
 * Look at the security implications of PDFs and what can be done in an enterprise environment to reduce these risks (uninstall Reader?)
 * Incident Case Study - Charles Carmakal (Link TBA)
 * Review of the security breach landscape in the US and go through an interesting case study. It involved organised criminals from eastern Europe, over $100M of losses, and incredible sophistication. The initial point of entry for this breach was the web - SQL injection, linked databases, privilege escalation, development/deployment of custom malware.
