Netcraft - Stealing App Credentials for Fun & Profit<https://www.facebook.com/events/409242325937808/>
Lecture Theatre A - 7:00pm Wednesday (4th week)
Netcraft are running a workshop where you can learn how to find networking vulnerabilities in apps used by millions of people. Bring your own laptop, phone or tablet to take part. Netcraft has discovered a large number of Android & IOS apps which do not implement SSL certificate validation correctly – allowing an attacker to carry out a ‘man-in-the-middle attack’, where they place themselves between the app and the real server. We will give a short tutorial outlining and illustrating the concept, followed by a hands-on competition to see who can MitM the apps used by the largest number of people in the time available. Netcraft staff will be available when you want help. Food & drinks will be provided.
