InfoSec, for the unitiated, is the biggest and best Information Security conference in Europe.

Obviously we had a representative or two down there to check out the booth babes..I mean Security products..

 There was some really great stuff too, although Cisco weren’t present!

Some highlights:

The NCC hack demonstrations - These guys showed a really nifty browser exploit which allowed them to take control of a host and under some circumstances port scan his local network!

Tipping Point - Basically an IPS/IDS company that offer a “no false positives” promise. An interesting and bold claim of course We got free USB vacuums from them so we are not going to question them on that :p

Random Storm - Some good friends of ours were there in force demonstrating their Vulnerability assessment and management package. To boil it down it is a suite of tools that will run a penetration test and tie in the results with IDS alerts from Snort and in the future Cisco IDS. More at http://www.randomstorm.com/

 I strongly recommend attending next year and checking out what people have to offer. I doubt Cisco will be there but a lot of their aquisitions usually are
