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.

Intro Matt Watchinski here, Senior Director, Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT). It’s that time of year again. The mercury is soaring above 100F, and I am crammed onto a “flying bus” heading out to Las Vegas to attend this year’s iteration of the Black Hat and DEF CON conferences. Something about this tradition always leads me to reflect on how the security space has evolved over the years.

Today on the [MSRC blog,](«http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2010/07/22/announcing-coordinated-vulnerability-disclosure.aspx> >) Matt Thomlinson, General Manager of Trustworthy Computing Security, announced our new philosophy on Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure. I wanted to provide some context and history on how this came about. This post is about changing the way we at Microsoft talk about some familiar disclosure concepts, and is meant as an introduction to how Microsoft would like to engage with researchers.

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.
