The Wallgreens Health Initiative emailed 28,000 records to the state of Kentucky without using encryption.  Confiker infects three University of Utah hospitals.  Kaiser fires 15 employees for inappropriately accessing medical records.  Two Scottish hospitals were infected by a computer worm.

 * All of these incidents were reported in the news within a five month period of each other. News like this is being reported with an increasing frequency.

 * --'''Blake Cornell Security Consultant Net2S/BT-INS, OWASP NY/NJ/LI Board Member


 * 12-10 - Lunch


 * 12-25 - Education, "So you want to train an army of ninjas..." - Teaching offensive techniques to college students
 * Dan will discuss the challenges, successes, surprises, and lessons learned creating and delivering a penetration testing course for undergraduate and graduate students at NYU:Poly. The course, which ran on-campus during the Fall 2008 semester, was taught to 30 students and with the help of 5 instructors from outside the university: After 6 weeks, students were given a takehome midterm that tested their ability to apply theoretical techniques discussed in class and that tracked the evolution of their "hacker's mindset." This talk presents lessons learned as "design patterns" that conference attendees can apply to their own courses to increase their effectiveness and train their own army of ninjas in a university setting. Additionally, all course material, videotaped lectures, and student work from the Fall 2008 NYU:Poly Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Analysis course have been made freely available online at:
