Talk 1. Beating XSS with CSP

Cross-site scripting is a vulnerability that has plagued web applications since their existence. A technology known as content-security-policy (CSP), when implemented correctly, can mitigate cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and also force better development practices. This talk discusses what CSP is, how it works, and some challenges in the adoption of this technology.

Talk 2. Advancements in Windows Registry Forensics

The Registry is a complex database containing valuable information related to hardware, software, and users on Microsoft Windows systems. For far too long the digital forensics and incident response community has been merely scratching the Registry's surface by using outdated tools and methodologies. In this presentation, Mark Spencer, president of Arsenal Recon, will discuss the current state of Windows Registry forensics and the development of Arsenal's Registry Recon.
