May CSides Security Meet

### Talks:

### Lifetime issues derived from unsafe rust

Rust is the (not so) new language to join the likes of C and C++, a compiled language ideal for systems programming. One of the biggest claims for rust is being memory-safe - that if one stays inside safe rust, they should never encounter memory corruption or undefined behavior. But rust has an escape hatch - 'unsafe' - often used for things such as FFI or handling MMIO. Through unsafe, one can implement unsound behavior - that can potentially lead to the horrors of undefined behavior. This talk focuses particularly on lifetime issues, how they can lead to fun things like dangling pointers and use-after-frees, and how to write your unsafe code properly to avoid such headaches.

Zac is a security researcher at infosect. He's best nerd-sniped by asking him about some mix of binary exploitation, fuzzers, rust, and operating systems.
General Info:
CSides Monthly Security Meetups provide an opportunity to listen to and share security research within the Canberra region. The meeting occurs normally on the 2nd Friday of every month. Each meetup consists of 1-2 talks of around 30 mins each. Talks start at 6pm and are followed by some socialising at a local pub. New attendees are welcome, just come along! (There are no entry fees, and no tickets to book) The talks at CSides are technical. CSides welcomes new and interesting speakers to present - the topic will be on a technical or security issue. As a speaker you can be an expert, a student, someone learning a new area or maybe a regular speaker on the conference circuit, but we also love to have new and occasional speakers. Please contact one of the organisers below if you are interested in speaking. You are very welcome to propose running activites other than talks, such as hands-on workshops, an infosec quiz or something else relevant to our techie audience!
