Opened CFP at ZeroNights 2012

ZeroNights is an international conference dedicated to the technical aspects of information security. The main goal of the conference is to spread information about new methods of attacks, threats and protection against them, and also to create a platform for communication of information security practitioners.
Location and time: Russia, Moscow, November 19–20, 2012.

If you want to share your experience, knowledge and skills, this is done easily: send us a description of your topic and the desired format. Our program committee (DCG # 7812) will review it and make a decision. CFP will last until 10.10.12. In this case, the publication and selection will take place in several rounds, so throughout the CFP period we will publish information on those reports that were accepted.

Subjects of reports can be any, relating to the scope of the event, but this year we have certain preferences:

1. Applied hacking

Everything that makes hacker attacks really worthy of attention. It’s one thing to find a vulnerability in a product and quite another to unleash it, apply other vulnerabilities and take into account additional factors to conduct a complete attack. This topic is not about the poppy APT, but about the real methods of attacks that work in spite of everything and cause quite tangible damage:

○ Hacking business systems: ERP / RBS / SCADA
○ Processes of direct gain attacks
○ Attacks in the corporate sector - real cases, concealment methods, etc.
○ Attacks on terminals and ATMs (ATM)
○ Attacks and weaknesses in the protection of embedded devices

2. Mobile security

Attacks and weaknesses of defense mechanisms in the mobile world:

○ Attacks on GSM / LTE / 3G / CDMA type protocols, etc.
○ OS vulnerabilities (Android / iOS / Windows Phone)
○ Vulnerabilities in firmware
○ Attacks on devices

3. "Fundamental" research

We remain deeply technical conference, and therefore any new practical research in the field of attack techniques is very interesting to us:

○ OS protection bypass
○ Vulnerability Exploitation
○ fuzzing techniques
○ Anti-virus mechanisms
○ Reverse engineering
○ Web security

We are not limited to these topics, therefore, if you think your
The topic will be interesting for visitors to this conference, be sure to write too!
