WOOT '11 Call For Papers Now Available

2011-03-01 08:27

Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones On behalf of the 5th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '11) program committee, we invite you to submit papers that present research advancing the understanding of attacks on operating systems, networks, and applications. Please submit your work by May 2, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Computer security is unique among systems disciplines in that practical details matter and concrete case studies keep the field grounded in practice. WOOT provides a forum for high-quality, peer-reviewed papers discussing tools and techniques for attack. Submissions should reflect the state of the art in offensive computer security technology, either surveying previously poorly known areas or presenting entirely new attacks. Submission topics include but are not limited to: * Vulnerability research (software auditing, reverse engineering) * Penetration testing * Exploit techniques and automation * Network-based attacks (routing, DNS, IDS/IPS/firewall evasion) * Reconnaissance (scanning, software, and hardware fingerprinting) * Malware design and implementation (rootkits, viruses, bots, worms) * Denial-of-service attacks * Web and database security * Weaknesses in deployed systems (VoIP, telephony, wireless, games) * Practical cryptanalysis (hardware, DRM, etc.) For industry researchers: Did you just give a cool talk at SOURCE Boston? Got something interesting planned for Black Hat or DEFCON? This is exactly the type of work we'd like to see at WOOT. Please submit. It will also give you a chance to have your work reviewed and to receive suggestions and comments from some of the best researchers in the world. New for 2011: Systematization of Knowledge" (SoK) Papers and Invited Talk Papers The goal of a SoK paper is to encourage work that evaluates, systematizes, and contextualizes existing knowledge. These papers will provide a high value to our community but would not be accepted as refereed papers because they lack novel research contributions. Suitable papers include survey papers that provide useful perspectives on major research areas, papers that support or challenge long-held beliefs with compelling evidence, or papers that provide an extensive and realistic evaluation of competing approaches to solving specific problems. Invited talk papers are papers previously published or accepted for publication at security conferences or workshops with proceedings (and thus are ineligible for submission to WOOT '11 as research papers), but that will be of interest to academic and industry researchers. Co-located with the 20th USENIX Security Symposium in San Francisco, CA, WOOT '11 will take place on Monday, August 8, 2011. Submissions are due Wednesday, May 2, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/woot11/cfpa/ We look forward to receiving your submissions!
