Hm nothing sounds really "new" except for the "advanced deobfuscation"

-nt20

These are all grouped together now under "Development" at http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-06/train-bh-usa-06-index.html, along with "Automating Exploit Detection: Cutting-edge Tools and Techniques" by Matt Hargett.

I'll be there... So prepare for some hard-partying-time!

Reviving this thread now that Black Hat is getting close...

Anyone going to the Black Hat Briefings?

Anyone going to any of the Black Hat Trainings? I'd be particularly interested to hear how good "Reverse Engineering on Windows: Application in Malicious Code Analysis" and "Advanced Malware Deobfuscation" (first and third bullets above) are.

My first impression is that the two talks featuring Ero & Halvar will be the "ones" to attend, but then I might be biased ;-).
