European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference (EICC) 2023

Si and Desi recap the European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference (EICC) 2023, which hosted a range of talks and discussions on fields related to cybersecurity. 

Si highlights some of the talks he found most interesting, including those on the following topics: 

• Research conducted at the University of Kent on the prevalence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in the DarkWeb, including differences between English- and Chinese-language marketplaces
• Tracking vehicles and anonymising personal data in a way that still allows useful statistical analysis
• Conversion of malware binaries into visual images, allowing for the detection of malware families and programs by visual analysis
• Detecting device fingerprinting on iOS with API function hooking
• Age classification from images, including potential challenges, theoretical uses and current accuracy levels
• Machine learning and cybersecurity

The duo also discuss what's coming next on the Forensic Focus podcast.
