Catherine (Kate) Pearce
Multipath TCP – Breaking Today’s Networks with Tomorrow’s Protocols

Catherine (Kate) Pearce (@secvalve) is a Senior Security Consultant at Neohapsis (Now a part of Cisco). Kate spends half her time breaking applications and networks, half her time working to secure systems being built, half her time tinkering with standards to find where the designer missed something, and the other half figuring out where she got four halves from. So far, her work has been presented at BlackHat USA and TROOPERS, among others.

Bred, born, and raised in New Zealand, Kate’s a Kiwi who was temporarily pulled all the way from Middle Earth to New England a while back. She loves crossed-protocols, exotic failure modes, and long talks on the breach (sorry). While in the USA, she will tolerate a single sheep joke per person – as long as it’s targeted at Australians.

Nolan Ray
Hacking Embedded Devices

Nolan Ray is a security engineer at iSEC partners. He enjoys hardware hacking, reverse engineering, CTFs, the occasional webapp RCE, robots, beer, and of course robots that bring him beer. As a child Nolan enjoyed taking apart everything he could get his hands on in a quest to figure out how it worked (his parents did not always appreciate this). He could never figure out what the green rectangles with the black rectangles on them did and often resorted to smashing them with a hammer to see what was inside. Since then he has learned more effective waya to go about discovering the secrets those black things are hiding and even how to make them do different things.

His current research projects include attacking embedded devices based on the rabbit 2000/3000 CPUs and hardware side channel/fault injection attacks. You can find him on the tweeter-verse as @trixr4skids because he’s not the best at deciding on names.
