Program
General Pr0ken File System
Author: Felix Wilhelm
Co-author: Florian Grunow
The speakers will present a detailed overview of the IBM General Parallel File System (IBM GPFS), its flaws, and architecture. The system is used in some of the world's biggest supercomputers (e.g., IBM's Watson), which makes it a prime target for attackers as not only the data stored is valuable, but also the machines running the GPFS are quite powerful. Besides, the speakers will walk through exploitation of two innocent-looking bugs.
