seminar on SMART GRID is the best seminar of my branch
technology based on smart to integration of information technology on traditional power system
It may be best to understood Smart Grid as the overlaying of a unified communications and control system on the existing power delivery infrastructure to provide the right information to the right entity (e.g. end-use devices, transmission and distribution, system controls, customers, etc.) at the right time to take the right action. It is a system that optimizes power supply and delivery, minimizes losses, is self-healing, and enables next-generation energy efficiency and demand response applications.
To have connections between suppliers, distributors and consumers.
In definition, Smart Grid is a form of electricity network utilizing digital technology.
Its delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using two-way digital communications to control appliances at consumers' homes; which in deed will saving the energy, reduce costs and increase reliability.
A key feature of the smart grid is automation technology that lets the utility adjust and control each individual device or millions of devices from a central location.
A Smart Grid must functions as followings
1. Be able to heal itself
Smart Grid is designed with a control system that self-analyzes its performance using intelligent autonomous reinforcement learning controllers that are able to learn new strategies and successfully implementing such strategies to govern the behavior of the grid in the face of an ever changing environment such as equipment failures.
2. Motivate consumers to actively participate in operations of the grid
If consumers have freedom to control own usage of energy, they will be motivated to participate and be part of the system. They can monitor their usage and manipulate by the assistance of “smart appliances” and “intelligent equipment” in homes or businesses. Advanced communications capabilities equip customers with tools to exploit real-time electricity pricing, incentive-based load reduction signals, or emergency load reduction signals.
3. Resist attack
Most important issues of resist attack is the smart monitoring of power grids, which is the basis of control and management of smart grids to avoid or mitigate the system-wide disruptions like blackouts.
4. Accommodate all energy generation and storage options
Smart Grid integrates two power generation source; traditional power generation likes fossil fuel powered power plant with renewable power generations either generates from residential, commercial, and industrial customers that will improves reliability and power quality, reduces electricity costs, and offers more customer choice.
5. High quality power

DEF CON 23
Internet of Things: Hacking 14 Devices
It is easy to find poorly designed devices with poor security, but how do the market leading devices stack up? Are they more secure than a Linux-powered rifle? This presentation documents our effort to assess the state of security of top selling Internet of Things Devices.
We procured 14 of the leading “connected home” IoT devices and tore them down, all the way from software to hardware and compared their relative security. This talk will demonstrate techniques useful for assessing any IoT device, while showing how they were applied across a wide range of devices.
Attend for stories of device rooting, SSL interception, firmware unpacking, mobile app vulnerabilities and more. Stay to find out why your favorite new gadget might just be a backdoor into your home. If you own (or are considering buying) one of the following devices, come and find out how secure it actually is!
Devices:
Dlink DCS-2132L
Dropcam Pro
Foscam FI9826W
Simplicam
Withings Baby Monitor
Ecobee
Hive
Honeywell Lyric
Nest Thermostat
Nest Protect
Control4 HC-250
Lowes Iris
Revolv
SmartThings
Samsung Smart Refrigerator (model RF28HMELBSR)
Samsung LED Smart TV (model UN32J5205AFXZA)
REASON:
The best thing about this talk is that it covers a large number of devices, all devices which are among the industry leaders for their category.
While we have published the high level findings from assessing these devices, this talk will include full technical details on how to attack each of these devices, and full tech details on any of the vulns which we found. Those details have not yet been released, and will be of interest to anyone who owns or wants to hack any of these devices.

Cognitive Security - Anatomy of Advanced Persistent Threats ('12)Gabriel Dusil
Check out my blog "Multiscreen & OTT for the Digital Generation" @ gdusil.wordpress.com.
“Advanced Persistent Threats”, or APTs, refers low-level attacks used collectively to launch a targeted & prolonged attack. The goal is to gain maximum control into the target organization. APTs pose serious concerns to a security management team, especially as APT toolkits become commercially and globally available. Today’s threats involve polymorphic malware and other techniques that are designed to evade traditional security measures. Best-in-class security solutions now require controls that do not rely on signature-based detection, since APTs are “signature-aware”, and designed to bypass traditional security layers. New methods are needed to combat these new threats such as Behavioral Analysis. Network Behavior Analysis proactively detects and blocks suspicious behavior before significant damage can be done by the perpetrator. This presentation provides some valuable statistics in the growing threat of APTs.

Presented @ Frederick Linux Users Group (KeyLUG)
May 7, 2016
A presentation on protecting Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks that I made at the Frederick Linux Users Group (KeyLUG). I work virtually from my home, and this presentation goes through some of my experiences setting up my home network to be better and more secure. I ditched my consumer-grade NAT router and have installed a firewall, commercial-grade wireless access points, and an intrusion detection system (IDS). I'm not finished yet, but this presentation will give you an idea of some of the things that I've done, where I'm thinking about going, and as some things to consider as you setup your own network.
Though the potential of the IoT is vast, adoption can easily be curtailed by security worries. No company wants their products to be a victim of a hack, yet many do not appear to consider security as a primary driver of design decisions. This presentation will look at IoT security and describe what product designers – regardless of platform – need to be aware of if they want to build a secure and successful device.
IoT security encompasses requirements that are new for many product designers – such as provisioning, authentication, OTA upgrades and link encryption – and weaknesses in any one could potentially be used to compromise the security of the end product. From physical attacks to analysis of communications channels, there are many possible attack vectors that need to be considered.
From hacked routers to refrigerators sending spam email, there have been a lot of scary news stories about Internet of Things (IoT) security, or lack of it. According to the 2014 Hewlett-Packard Internet of Things Research Study, 70% of Internet connected devices they surveyed didn’t even use encrypted network connections. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently weighed in on the issue too, releasing a report that outlines potential IoT security risks, ranging from unauthorized access and misuse of personal information, to facilitation of attacks on other systems and risks to personal safety.

As presented at this year's RSA Conference, a 2016 survey of critical infrastructure companies and officials demonstrates that this scenario could be reality. Jay and Julia will take you through the spine-chilling specifics of why the nation's critical infrastructure is at an ever increased risk of cyber attacks as hackers make them their prime target.
This presentation from ShmooCon 2016 elaborates on a trivial bypass of Apple’s Gatekeeper, a core OS X security mechanism, which still remains flawed following Apple’s patch efforts to the vulnerabilities previously reported and presented by Patrick Wardle at Virus Bulletin 2015.
This presentation from Virus Bulletin 2015 will provide a solid technical overview of Gatekeeper's design and implementation, and will discuss both patched and currently unpatched vulnerabilities or weaknesses, in this core OS X security mechanism.
DEF CON 23: Stick That In Your (root)Pipe & Smoke ItSynack
DEF CON 23
You may ask; "why would Apple add an XPC service that can create setuid files anywhere on the system - and then blindly allow any local user to leverage this service?" Honestly, I have no idea!
The undocumented 'writeconfig' XPC service was recently uncovered by Emil Kvarnhammar, who determined its lax controls could be abused to escalate one's privileges to root. Dubbed ‘rootpipe,' this bug was patched in OS X 10.10.3. End of story, right? Nope, instead things then got quite interesting. First, Apple decided to leave older versions of OS X un-patched. Then, an astute researcher discovered that the OSX/XSLCmd malware which pre-dated the disclosure, exploited this same vulnerability as a 0day! Finally, yours truly, found a simple way to side-step Apple's patch to re-exploit the core vulnerability on a fully-patched system. So come attend (but maybe leave your MacBooks at home), as we dive into the technical details XPC and the rootpipe vulnerability, explore how malware exploited this flaw, and then fully detail the process of completely bypassing Apple's patch. The talk will conclude by examining Apple’s response, a second patch, that appears to squash ‘rootpipe’…for now.
DEF CON 23: Spread Spectrum Satcom Hacking: Attacking The GlobalStar Simplex ...Synack
DEF CON 23
Recently there have been several highly publicized talks about satellite hacking. However, most only touch on the theoretical rather than demonstrate actual vulnerabilities and real world attack scenarios. This talk will demystify some of the technologies behind satellite communications and do what no one has done before - take the audience step-by-step from reverse engineering to exploitation of the GlobalStar simplex satcom protocol and demonstrate a full blown signals intelligence collection and spoofing capability. I will also demonstrate how an attacker might simulate critical conditions in satellite connected SCADA systems.
In recent years, Globalstar has gained popularity with the introduction of its consumer focused SPOT asset-tracking solutions. During the session, I’ll deconstruct the transmitters used in these (and commercial) solutions and reveal design and implementation flaws that result in the ability to intercept, spoof, falsify, and intelligently jam communications. Due to design tradeoffs these vulnerabilities are realistically unpatchable and put millions of devices, critical infrastructure, emergency services, and high value assets at risk.
Colby Moore is Synack's Manager of Special Activities. He works on the oddball and difficult problems that no one else knows how to tackle and strives to embrace the attacker mindset during all engagements. He is a former employee of VRL and has identified countless 0day vulnerabilities in embedded systems and major applications. In his spare time you will find him focusing on that sweet spot where hardware and software meet, usually resulting in very interesting consequences.
DEF CON 23: 'DLL Hijacking' on OS X? #@%& Yeah!Synack
DEF CON 23
Remember DLL hijacking on Windows? Well, turns out that OS X is fundamentally vulnerable to a similar attack (independent of the user's environment).
By abusing various 'features' and undocumented aspects of OS X's dynamic loader, this talk will reveal how attackers need only to plant specially-crafted dynamic libraries to have their malicious code automatically loaded into vulnerable applications. Through this attack, adversaries can perform a wide range of malicious actions, including stealthy persistence, process injection, security software circumvention, and even 'remote' infection. So come watch as applications fall, Gatekeeper crumbles (allowing downloaded unsigned code to execute), and 'hijacker malware' arises - capable of bypassing all top security and anti-virus products! And since "sharing is caring" leave with code and tools that can automatically uncover vulnerable binaries, generate compatible hijacker libraries, or detect if you've been hijacked.
Patrick Wardle is the Director of Research at Synack, where he leads cyber R&D efforts. Having worked at NASA, the NSA, and Vulnerability Research Labs (VRL), he is intimately familiar with aliens, spies, and talking nerdy. Currently, Patrick’s focus is on automated vulnerability discovery, and the emerging threats of OS X and mobile malware.
Black Hat '15: Writing Bad @$$ Malware for OS XSynack
In comparison to Windows malware, known OS X threats are really quite lame. As an Apple user that has drank the 'Apple Juice,' I didn't think that was fair!
From novel persistence techniques, to native OS X components that can be abused to thwart analysis, this talk will detail exactly how to create elegant, bad@ss OS X malware. And since detection is often a death knell for malware, the talk will also show how OS X's native malware mitigations and 3rd-party security tools were bypassed. For example I'll detail how Gatekeeper was remotely bypassed to allow unsigned download code to be executed, how Apple's 'rootpipe' patch was side-stepped to gain root on a fully patched system, and how all popular 3rd-party AV and personal firewall products were generically bypassed by my simple proof-of-concept malware.
However, don't throw out your Macs just yet! The talk will conclude by presenting several free security tools that can generically detect or even prevent advanced OS X threats. Armed with such tools, we'll ensure that our computers are better protected against both current and future OS X malware.
So unless you work for Apple, come learn how to take your OS X malware skills to the next level and better secure your Mac at the same time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

7. Takeaways
• Overall, IoT security is poor, with cameras scoring the lowest
• With few exceptions, Nest leads the industry in security practices
• A sinking tide incident will likely hit home automation
• The industry needs some basic standards to set the bar
8. Areas to Watch
Wi-Fi Jamming
• With few exceptions, all Wi-Fi devices are susceptible to jamming
• Diversification of used spectrum (2.5Ghz + 5 Ghz, etc.) reduces risk
• Hardwired Ethernet options also reduce the risk
• Jamming/network down incidents should result in a proactive alert to the user
Password strength, Reuse, and Attack Resistance
• Basic Password strength requirements should be enforced
• Horizontal and vertical password guessing countermeasures should be
implemented at application and network layers
9. Areas to Watch
Unencrypted and unauthenticated communications
• All communications should use bidirectional encryption
• Unauthenticated servers, communications and services should not be allowed
Misconfiguration of Encryption
• Independent encryption architecture reviews should always be performed. There are
thousands of ways to get it wrong, and only a handful of ways to get it right
• SSL pinning should be used to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
• Certificate validation should always be performed against a 3rd party
• Self-signed certificates should never be used
