First USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats
(LEET ’08)
April 15, 2008
http://www.usenix.org/leet08
LEET has evolved from the combination of two other successful workshops, the ACM Workshop on Recurring Malcode (WORM) and the USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Understanding Botnets (HotBots), and will focus on the underlying mechanisms used to compromise and control hosts, the large-scale “applications” being perpetrated upon this framework, and the social and economic networks driving these threats. Sessions include Attacker Behavior; Measurements, Uncertainties, and Legal Issues; New issues; and more. Online registration is now open and the program is available.
