I just returned from the APCERT Conference held March 12-13 in Hong Kong, (APCERT 2008). Approximately 150 researchers and customer representatives attended the conference, which was a great opportunity to meet researchers from around the world.

At the conference, the topic of my presentation was "Detection of Web Security Threats - Websense V-Next Honeyclient". From the questions I received, I believe that quite a few researchers were interested in this topic, and were also pretty impressed by our thorough insight into Honeyclients, even though several other speakers also presented information regarding their Honeyclients.

Most speakers came from APAC CERT organizations and spoke about Internet security in APAC. For example, Geok Meng Ong from McAfee APAC labs talked about recent security issues in APAC; Du Yuejin from CNCERT/CC talked about Botnets spreading in China; and Rogier Spoor from SURFnet presented on honeypots and SURFnet’s upcoming Honeyclient system.

Note: An updated version of this presentation will also be given at RSA by Dan Hubbard V-Next Honeyclients: Evolving Revolvers, Tuesday, April 08 05:40 PM,
