Properly implementing network protocols is essential in securing any network-accessible device. Although there has been a substantial amount of work on detecting and preventing common programming mistakes such as buffer overflows and use-after-free's, less attention has been given to the detection of logical bugs. Unfortunately, the last few years it has been made clear that logical implementation bugs are more common than previously thought. Moreover, they can void any security that the protocol is supposed to provide.

 | Mathy Vanhoef
Mathy Vanhoef is a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, where he currently performs research on automatically discovering logical vulnerabilities in network protocol implementations. Previously he performed research on streamciphers, and discovered a new attack on RC4 that made it possible to exploit RC4 as used in TLS in practice (the RC4 NOMORE attack). He also focuses on wireless security, where he turns commodity wifi cards into state-of-the art jammers, defeats MAC address randomization, and breaks protocols like WPA-TKIP. He also did research on information flow security to assure cookies don't fall in the hands of malicious individuals. |
