FOE -- Feeding Controversial News to Censored Countries (Without Using Proxy Servers) Sho Ho Software Engineer, Broadcasting Board of Governors Certain countries are banning their Internet users from accessing websites that are deemed inappropriate by their officials. News organizations' websites are commonly blocked by these countries, and there are little these organizations can do to reach their audience inside those countries. FOE is a new anti-censorship tool developed in-house by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (which oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Farda, Radio Free Asia, etc.), which main goal is to create a multi-platform (including mobile) architecture that allow Internet users in censored countries to receive unbiased news. Sho Ho had been a freelance software developer for about 10 years and recently joined the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the Federal Government agency that oversees and supports broadcasters such as Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, etc. Sho is a member of the Internet anti-censorship team at BBG whose duties include developing and managing anti-censorship technologies to help Internet users in censored countries to bypass Government censorships.

The Middler 2.0: It's Not Just for Web Apps Anymore Jay Beale Co-Founder, InGuardians, Inc. Justin Searle Sr. Security Analyst, InGuardians The Middler is a next-generation man-in-the-middle tool that takes the focus beyond the raw mechanics of the protocol on to the application itself. New for Def Con, it now can man in the middle Voice over IP (VoIP), producing the opportunity to interactively redirect calls, join them, or take them over. All of these effects join The Middler's goal of putting the victim into a kind of matrix by implementing man in the middle attacks specific to each web application. We've also added a graphical interface, allowing for interactive target selection based on information that The Middler gathers about potential victims. We've added more applications and enhanced the set of non-application specific capabilities, including easy session cloning, IFRAME injection and a Java script exploit library that can force the user into the Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF) or a Metasploit exploit. This demo-filled talk will enhance your man in the middle powers just in time for one of the most hostile networks ever seen. Jay Beale has created a number of security tools, including Bastille UNIX and the CIS Unix Scoring Tool, both of which are widely used throughout industry and government. He has served as an invited speaker at many industry and government conferences, a columnist for Information Security Magazine, SecurityPortal and SecurityFocus, and a contributor to nine books, including those in his Open Source Security Series and the "Stealing the Network" series. Jay works as a security analyst at InGuardians. Justin Searle a Senior Security Analyst with InGuardians, specializes in security architecture and penetration testing. Previously, Justin served as the IT Security Architect for JetBlue Airways and has provided top-tier support for some of the largest supercomputers in the world. Justin has taught courses in hacking techniques, intrusion detection, forensics, and networking and has presented at a number of security conferences including DEFCON, ToorCon, Shmoocon, and SANS. In his spare time, he helps lead and develop several open source projects such as The Middler, SamuraiWTF, Yokoso! and Laudanum. Justin has an MBA in International Technology and holds several industry certifications.

Why Tor is Slow, and What We're Doing About It Roger Dingledine Many of you have probably tried Tor, and then stopped because you found it too slow. Now that Tor has several hundred thousand users, our original design decisions are showing their age. We need to figure out and deploy some major changes if we want the Tor network to scale up to the million-user mark. Problem #1 is that Tor's congestion control does not work well. We need to come up with ways to let "quiet" streams like web browsing co-exist better with "loud" streams like bulk transfer. Problem #2 is that some Tor users simply put too much traffic onto the network relative to the amount they contribute, so we need to work on ways to limit the effects of those users and/or provide priority to the other users. Problem #3 is that the Tor network simply doesn't have enough capacity to handle all the users that want privacy on the Internet. We need to develop strategies for increasing the overall community of relays, and consider introducing incentives to make the network more self-sustaining. In this talk I'll walk through these problems and more: why we think these are the right problems to solve, and how we're solving them. Roger Dingledine is project leader for The Tor Project. The Tor network has grown to over 1500 relays handling traffic for hundreds of thousands of users daily. In the past few years The Tor Project has also gotten an increasingly diverse set of funders, become an official 501c3 nonprofit, and expanded its community of both volunteer and funded developers. In addition to all the hats he wears for Tor, Roger organizes academic conferences on anonymity and security, speaks at industry and hacker cons, and does tutorials on anonymity for national and foreign law enforcement.
