TOPIC:       "Reverse Engineering Malicious Javascript"

DESCRIPTION: Dr. Jose Nazario will address how Javascript has become
             a prominent vector for delivering a flood of Internet
             Explorer attacks and how there is no end in sight for
             malicious websites using Javascript to take control of a
             client's web browser and download malware.

             He will describe how Javascript is often thought to be a
             safe or a limited language, however, a growing number of
             malicious websites have learned how to leverage the full
             power of Javascript and Active X to their advantage. And
             how to dissect these malicious websites is often a mystery
             to researchers and security staff alike.

             Dr. Narizio will show how researchers can disassemble
             obfuscated websites and protect their networks, and will
             cover both simple examples, a variety of obfuscated examples,
             and show a wide range of tools that can be used to discover
             what these websites are up to.
