Interface Design of Hacking Tools

Architecture and Background

Greg Conti - Interface Design of Hacking Tools Interface Design of Hacking Tools Publicly available computer security tools are often great works of technological expertise. A great deal of effort goes into the technical implementation, often at the expense of the user interface and overall user experience.

Vulnerability Analysis

Designed for all levels of expertise, this talk explores common user interface design techniques that will put a usable front end on computer security tools. A variety of tools will be examined and critiqued to illustrate and reinforce these techniques.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

Attendees will leave with an increased understanding of user interface and user experience design that they can apply to their own development projects to make them more effective. Greg Conti is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the United States Military Academy.

Remediation and Defensive Strategies

He holds a Masters Degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the United States Military Academy. His areas of expertise include network security, interface design and information warfare. Greg has worked at a variety of military intelligence assignments specializing in Signals Intelligence. Currently he is on a Department of Defense Fellowship and is working on his PhD in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. He is conducting research into Denial of Information Attacks.
