Attention to all hackers, unlockers and jailbreakers! One of the coolest hacker related events - Hack In The Box security conference 2012 will take place in Amsterdam and Malaysia. That's an event where all the famous iOS hackers will discuss all kinds of security questions such as security basics, format string attacks, kernel heap overflows, profile command injections and many others (more details below). Among conference members  - Chronic Dev Team (@possixninja, @pod2g, @primskeks), iPhone Dev Team (@planetbeing, @musclenerd) and others iOS hacking business sharks. If you want to know how iOS vulnerabilities and exploits are found or just see the famous devs and thank them for the work they do - this is the right place for you!

So what is the Hack In The Box about?

HITB - is a security conference with high technical level which takes place in Asia and Europe on yearly basis. The main point is to share experience and discuss most advanced and forward-looking attacking and defense methods that were never used before. This year the conference will open hacking mysteries in Malaysia and in European Amsterdam. The European section will last from May 21st till May 25th. This year hackers managed to gather the almighty “2012 iOS Jailbreak Dream Team” (as wrote posixninja in his official blog) from all around the world. What is more amazing - all four members of Dev Team will meet in real life, not on IRC channel! MuscleNerd will also deliver the special speech concerning baseband unlocking future.

What will be presented on HITB 2012?

There will be lots of interesting stuff going on during those four days. Chronic Dev Team's 60-minute presentation will tell about their inner exploit developments behind Corona and Absinthe jailbreaks. Guys claim that they have tons of awesome stuff to share. Here is the list of some topics they will cover:

• iOS security basics
• iOS format string attacks
• iOS kernel heap overflows
• iOS profile command injections
• iOS application sandbox escape
• How to bypass ASLR & DEP for all exploits listed above
• iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak release (for more info about this go here)

One of the main points of this year's HITB event is to unite jailbreakers community and to promote their ideas. The speakers want to motivate other hackers to add to global jailbreaking deal.
