Top Ten Web Hacking Techniques of (Official)
We searched far and wide collecting as many Web Hacking Techniques published in as possible -- ~70 in all. These new and innovative techniques were analyzed and ranked based upon their novelty, impact, and pervasiveness. The competition was exceptionally fierce and our panel of judges (Rich Mogull, Chris Hoff, H D Moore, and Jeff Forristal) had their work cut out for them. For any researcher, or "breaker" if you prefer, simply the act of creating something unique enough to appear on the list is no small feat. That much should be considered an achievement. In the end, ten Web hacking techniques rose head and shoulders above.
Supreme honors go to Billy Rios, Nathan McFeters, Rob Carter, and John Heasman for GIFAR! The judges were convinced their work stood out amongst the field. Beyond industry recognition, they also will receive the free pass to (generously sponsored by Black Hat)! Now they have to fight over it. Wink
Congratulations to all!
Coming up at SnowFROC AppSec and RSA Conference it will be my great privilege to highlight the results. Each of the top ten techniques will be described in technical detail for how they work, what they can do, who they affect, and how best to defend against them. The opportunity provides a chance to get a closer look at the new attacks that could be used against us in the future -- some of which already have.
