Pete Finnigan's Oracle Security Weblog

I was just made aware of a news article about the Black Hat conference that took place in Las Vegas last week. The article was written by Ryan Naraine and is titled http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1840962,00.asp - (broken link) Black Hat Confab to Spotlight Database Security. The article gives a good overview of what was about to occur (has already occurred) at Black hat. There is a mention of David Litchfields 0-day exploits talk - expected to be about Oracle and also there is a discussion about Alex Kornbrusts talk on breaking Oracle's encryption mechanisms. This is a good primer news article. The presentations from the conference are now available on Black Hats site. I will be talking about some of them here soon.
