AVAR 2006 - Auckland, New Zealand Posted by Kimmo @ 10:08 GMT

AVAR2006 and Peter Ferrie

Greetings from AVAR 2006 which this year was held in Auckland, New Zealand! The conference was excellent, lots of interesting topics and the place was perfect. New Zealand is a truly beautiful place and people are nice and helpful. I also had a chance to meet some of the old stars, including Peter Szor. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my copy of �The Art of Computer Virus Research� book with me to get it signed. Well, maybe some other time then…

The picture is from Peter Ferrie�s presentation about attacks on virtual machine emulators. It explained known and new tricks to detect the presence of different virtual machines and also some newly discovered attacks against them.

I also had a chance to present my paper about kernel malware explaining what they are, how they work, and what makes their detection and removal challenging.
