by Jose Nazario

The LEET 2009 workshop call for papers closes NEXT Friday night. If you’re preparing papers, now’s your chance to get them into a well respected workshop and with a great crowd of similar researchers. Research on topic is of interest to many of the readers of this blog. From the website:

We encourage submissions of papers that focus on any aspect of the underlying mechanisms used to compromise and control hosts, the large-scale “applications” being perpetrated upon this framework, or the social and economic networks driving these threats…

  • Infection vectors for malware (worms, viruses, etc.)
  • Botnets, command and control channels
  • Spyware
  • Operational experience
  • Forensics
  • Click fraud
  • Measurement studies
  • New threats and related challenges
  • Boutique and targeted malware
  • Phishing
  • Spam
  • Underground markets
  • Carding and identity theft
  • Miscreant counterintelligence
  • Denial-of-service attacks

  • New platforms (cellular networks, wireless networks, mobile devices)
  • Camouflage and detection
  • Reverse engineering
  • Vulnerability markets and zero-day economics

Myself I may be submitting a paper, I don’t know yet. I have a few days to decide. I hope to see you there, and definitely submit. This is a premier event in the field with top notch researchers in attendance.

UPDATE: The PC has extended the deadline by a week!
