Summary

Architecture and Background

Jon Oberheide - Antique Exploitation (aka Terminator 3.1.1 for Workgroups) Just as the Terminator travels back from the future to assassinate John Connor using futuristic weaponry, we will travel a couple decades back in time to attack a computing platform that threatens the future of Skynet: Windows 3.11 for Workgroups!

Vulnerability Analysis

Come enjoy the hilarity that ensues when applying modern attack tools and exploitation techniques to an operating system that is approaching its 20th birthday yet EOL'ed only two years ago.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

We'll be presenting a number of 0-days for applications that are over 6000 days old and poppin' 16-bit calculators all over the place!
