SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today announced its executive speaking session and other activities planned for the Black Hat USA 2013 conference, taking place July 27 – August 1, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

  Summary: Online advertising networks can be a web hacker's best friend. For mere pennies per thousand impressions there are service providers who allow you to broadly distribute arbitrary javascript – even malicious javascript! With a few lines of HTML5 and javascript code, Jeremiah and Matt will demonstrate just how easily you can commandeer browsers to perform DDoS attacks, participate in email spam campaigns, crack hashes and even help brute-force passwords.

Where is Your WhiteHat?
In addition to its speaking schedule, the company will be demonstrating its full Sentinel solution portfolio at booth 230 on the show floor. Attendees can also take part in "Where's your WhiteHat?" a social contest with other show attendees. Attendees that stop by the booth will receive their own WhiteHat stress ball and will be encouraged to take pictures of it at a variety of Las Vegas hot spots and post them to Twitter or Instagram hashtagged #WhiteHatSec for a chance to earn more prizes.
