10th Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT 2016)

August 08-09, 2016

Austin, Texas, USA .

Call For Papers

The USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT) aims to present a broad picture of offense and its contributions, bringing together researchers and practitioners in all areas of computer security. Offensive security has changed from a hobby to an industry. No longer an exercise for isolated enthusiasts, offensive security is today a large-scale operation managed by organized, capitalized actors. Meanwhile, the landscape has shifted: software used by millions is built by startups less than a year old, delivered on mobile phones and surveilled by national signals intelligence agencies.

WOOT provides a forum for high-quality, peer-reviewed work discussing tools and techniques for attack. Submissions should reflect the state of the art in offensive computer security technology, exposing poorly understood mechanisms, presenting novel attacks, or surveying the state of offensive operations at scale.

Topics

• Vulnerability research
• Offensive applications of formal methods (solvers, symbolic execution)
• Practical attacks on deployed cryptographic systems and kleptography
• Offensive aspects of mobile security (including location, payments, and RF)
• Attacks on content protection and DRM
• Hardware attacks and attacks on the “Internet of Things”
• Internet-scale network reconnaissance
• Application security (web frameworks, distributed databases, multi-factor authentication)
• Malware design, implementation, and analysis
• Vulnerabilities in browser and client-side security (runtimes, JITs, sandboxing)
• Mass surveillance and attacks against privacy
