Over the past twenty-five years, computer malware (viruses, worms, targeted attacks, etc.) and anti-malware software have engaged in a complex dance - a co-evolution - with the black-hats inventing ever more creative infection and evasion techniques, and the white-hats responding in-kind with ever-more innovative defenses. In this talk, Professor Nachenberg will provide a fascinating historical glimpse into this co-evolution, discussing the seven major attack and counter-attack trends of the past twenty-five years in technical detail. If you've ever wondered how anti-malware software works… and why it sometimes doesn't, you'll want to join us for this talk.
