Common toolkits: Banking trojans and exploitation frameworks

FIRST TC Plennary sessions

Wednesday — October 17th, 2007 11:20

Attackers use toolkits to generate a large percentage of the malicious code companies face. By analyzing and understanding these tools we can develop strategies to quickly identify and mitigate the threats they pose.

Again I'd like to thank you for allowing me to speak at the FIRST TC. It was a great honor to meet so many new contacts from Latin America who I probably would not have had the opportunity to meet without this conference.
