0830 - 0930 (7A) Lecture Theatre

TOPIC: Non-Linear Junction Detectors (NLJD)
SPEAKER: John Pavelich
AFFILIATION: Spectral Guard Inc.
DESCRIPTION: The Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) solves the problem of the detection of Technical Security Devices (TSD) such as wireless microphones and GSM bugs, which may be dormant or inactive until remotely commanded into operation. The NLJD is a primary, and indispensable tool used for the detection of active, powered-off or inoperative TSD covertly installed recorders, amplifiers, microphones, transmitters, etc.
The NLJD takes advantage of the physical properties of all non-linear components (transistors, diodes, integrated circuits (IC) and so on.) PN junctions in these devices retransmit signals when irradiated by a microwave signal, and the PN non-linear components transmit a new signal with harmonic components that are multiples of the frequency of irradiation.
The NLJD employs a transmitter that irradiates a search area with a signal (usually around 900 MHz), after which the 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 5th harmonic frequencies are analyzed for the presence of a harmonic signal. This phenomena of the non-linear junction allows the Technical Security Specialist (TSS) to detect electronic devices literally "buried in the wall”.
This presentation will explore the history of the NLJD, provide and overview of modern NLJD technology and provide demonstrations of how the modern NLJD transmitting in the 2.4GHz band is superior to it’s 900MHz predecessors.

DESCRIPTION: Historically, computers have been the target, and the agent, for criminal attacks. Recently this role has expanded, and they now play a significant role is economic espionage and cyber-warfare. During this seminar, we will explore the increasing sophistication of automated crimeware tools as well as the physical and logical attacks that are used to monitor computers and to extract personal and business data. Various hacking tools used to gain remote access will be demonstrated. You will gain a basic understanding of how criminals attempt to hide their tracks using anti-forensic techniques, and how an investigator can find the residual evidence, or artifacts, of an attack by examining a live system.

1100 - 1200 (15A) Lecture Theatre

TOPIC: Live System Forensics 
SPEAKER: Robert W. Beggs
AFFILIATION: DigitalDefence Inc.
DESCRIPTION: Traditionally, data forensics is built around a process of hard drive analysis from a compromised system that has been unplugged. Unfortunately, a significant amount of data critical to understanding how a security breach occurred, and who is responsible, is volatile, and is lost to the investigator common techniques. This volatile data can include passwords, encryption keys, IM chats, and the digital signatures of remote attackers. Live system forensics is an approach to gathering this volatile data in a way that preserves its evidentiary value. It also lends itself to rapid analysis - minimizing the financial loss of an extended downtime during system recovery. Attendees will gain an understanding of how live system forensics works, how to apply cost-effective open-source tools, and how to data can be effectively analyzed.
