This year's lineup of speakers will dive into topics spanning mobile hacking, malware defense, reverse engineering, cryptography and more.

Highlights from the Black Hat Asia 2017 programme so far include:

Mobile hacks such as exploiting an iOS device remotely via Wi-Fi without any user interaction, completely bypassing the iOS sandbox; looking at challenges solved in making an untethered 9.0-9.3.x jailbreak; and examining the underlying attack vector and fundamental security problems with Android plugin technology.

Breaking Popular Korean Transit Smartcards: by embedding cryptographic features via side-channel attacks, allowing for the illegal recharging of balances and targeting of profile information.

Exploiting Email Clients: disclosing severe vulnerabilities of mail clients as well as software services that could allow an attacker to take over access to sensitive user information

Automotive Diagnostics Exploration: introducing an open source Unified Diagnostic Services stack in Python with live demonstrations.

Prior to the briefings, Black Hat Asia offers two days of deeply technical, hands-on Training courses led by the some of the brightest minds in the industry. This year's Trainings will span topics such as infrastructure hacking, penetration testing, malware analysis and more.
