Cesar recently conducted research involving devices used by traffic control systems in important cities around the world, including the US, UK, France, Australia, and China. The end result, Cesar was able to hack into and exploit these devices.
In this presentation, Cesar will tell the whole story: how the devices were acquired, the research and onsite tests he conducted, the vulnerabilities he discovered, and how they can be exploited. Cesar will conclude his presentation with demonstrations of cyberwar-style attacks against the vulnerable devices.

About INFILTRATE
INFILTRATE is a deep technical conference that focuses entirely on offensive security issues. Groundbreaking researchers focused on the latest technical issues will demonstrate techniques that you cannot find elsewhere. INFILTRATE is the single-most important event for those who are focused on the technical aspects of offensive security issues, for example, computer and network exploitation, vulnerability discovery, and rootkit and trojan covert protocols. INFILTRATE eschews policy and high-level presentations in favor of just hard-core thought-provoking technical meat.
