This year marks the tenth BlueHat at Microsoft, and my sixth round in participating in the event that has been so instrumental in keeping Microsoft developers and executives in touch with the pulse of security research outside Microsoft, and serves as one of the key crossroads for the exchange of ideas from our internal security experts to the outside world.

Hey there, Vincenzo and Fermin here! Next week we will be giving two talks at BlueHat. Vincenzo will be talking with Tim Kornau, Ralf Philipp Weinmann, and Thomas Dullien, about return-oriented programming and how to automate the creation of ROP payloads. Also, Fermin and Andrew Roths will be talking about EMET and how it can prevent the successful exploitation of vulnerabilities.

BlueHat v10 is on the horizon and I’m happy to be able to announce the lineup. This year we’ll be hosting our annual conference on October 13-15 at the Microsoft campus here in Redmond and, with the success of last year’s con, we’re working overtime to make it the most robust, top-notch BlueHat yet.

Hey there, I’m pleased to announce that the BlueHat team has partnered with the dynamic Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) Engineering duo of Andrew Roths and Fermin J. Serna on a training video previewing the new release, version 2.0, of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). This training video is currently live on the BlueHat site and available for consumption on your own viewing timetable.

Hi, this is Tom Gallagher from the Office Trustworthy Computing team. At Blue Hat v9, David Conger and I presented some of the security engineering work that we were doing to help ensure the security of Office 2010. We don’t want a single bug in our parsing code to allow arbitrary code to harm a customer’s machine by doing things like installing a rootkit.

Mark Curphey here. I run the Subscriptions Engineering Team in Server & Tools Online, where we build complex customer facing web sites like MSDN and TechNet, supporting millions of users. For the last 15 years, I have always held security roles, most recently heading up the Information Security Tools team here at Microsoft, where we were best known for building static code analysis tools and web protection libraries for managed code.

It was pretty fun sitting in the panel that kicked-off the first BlueHat Security Forum in Latin America and we are almost half-way through our day here in Buenos Aires. (Check out Mike Reavey’s EcoStrat Blog post for details about the panel.) It is always great to see old friends from the ecosystem and meet some new people from all over Latin America.
