Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT 2017)
August 14–15, 2017,Vancouver, BC, Canada
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.
In the field’s infancy, offensive security research was conducted
separately by industry, independent hackers, or in academia. Collaboration
between these groups could be difficult. Since 2007, the USENIX
Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT) has aimed to bring those
communities together.
WOOT ’17 will feature
Papers primarily based on (but not limited to) the following topics are welcome: (Topics include but not limited to)
- 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
