Sunday, July 18, 2010: 2:00 pm (Lovelace): North Korea scares people. Allegedly, the DPRK has a super l33t squad of killer haxor ninjas that regularly engage in hit and run hacks against the Defense Department, South Korea, or anyone else who pisses off the Dear Leader. The DPRK also has no real Internet infrastructure to speak of (as dictators don't like unrestricted information), although it does have a number of IP blocks. This talk examines some of the myths about the DPRK, and some of their existing and emerging technologies. Some of the available infrastructure associated with DPRK (funnily enough, some of which is in South Korea and Japan) will be discussed and the potential technical threats posed by a pernicious regime analyzed.
