Shostack will examine the traditional threats against which we fight and follow Darth Vader\'s advice ("Don\'t be so proud of this technological terror you\'ve created") to its logical conclusions, asking if the technological terrors on which we focus so much attention are the only threat out there, and if perhaps we\'d be better off asking about the force: that which flows through all living beings, and has a light side and a dark side. In particular, we\'ll look at software bugs, social engineering, feature abuse, and ask what we can do to effectively defend ourselves from the temptations of the dark side. The talk will include engineering tools that attendees can take back and apply immediately.
