Circle of Mugging: Identity Theft in Moscow Metro

Author: George Noseevich

Since January 2015, the Moscow Metro Wi-Fi has officially become available on all the subway lines, and as early as the end of the month the network got compulsory identification by a mobile phone number. The speaker will talk about the system’s implementation features and weak points and explain how hackers can “trick” the identification or use someone else’s phone number to get the access. As a bonus, you will learn how to get the mobile number of “that hot blonde over there”.

Not by Nmap Alone

Author: Dmitry Boomov

The researcher will look into the possibility of internal infrastructure scanning via a victim’s browser with JavaScript disabled. Pretend all information about internal infrastructure is in the hands of a single person. Instead of forcing him or her to run nmap, you may scan a local network via the victim’s browser even if JavaScript in the said browser is restricted or disabled for security purposes. To accomplish that, you just need the target to click on the desired link.
