Charla "Exploiting Online Games" por
Gary MacGraw, CTO, Cigital

Lugar: Aula E 24, Pabellón I, Ciudad Universitaria
Fecha: Viernes 16 de Marzo a las 17 hs

"Exploiting Online Games"

This talk (based on a book of the same title co-authored by Greg Hoglund)
frankly describes controversial security issues surrounding MMORPGs such
as World of Warcraft.  This no-holds-barred approach is fully loaded with
code examples, debuggers, bots, and hacks.  If you are a gamer, a game
developer, a software security person or an interested bystander, this
book exposes the inner workings of online game security for all to see. 
In the talk, I will cover:
*        Why online games are a harbinger of software security issues to
come *        How millions of gamers have created billion dollar virtual
economies *        How game companies invade your privacy
*        Why some gamers cheat
*        Techniques for breaking online game security
*        How to build a bot to play a game for you
*        Methods for total conversion and advanced mods

Ultimately, this talk is mostly about security problems associated with
advanced massively distributed software.  With hundreds of thousands of
interacting users, today's online games are a bellwether of modern
software yet to come.  The kinds of attack and defense techniques I
describe are tomorrow's security techniques on display today.
