Some fun #BlackHat shenanigans. Ruben Santamarta, a researcher at IOActive, gave a presentation about vulnerabilities he found in the Boeing 787 core network. Boeing has issued a strong denial, and has a PR rep here to boot. FAA has also chimed in, supporting Boeing.
I have been told (BUT HAVE NOT CONFIRMED) that there are Boeing engineers at the conference to refute the claims in person.
Santamarta and IOActive are emphatically standing behind their work.

I was at Santamarta's presentation early. Before he went on, he was approached by a corporate looking man with a handler. The man showed some kind of ID badge. The two had a tense exchange and the corporate guy left while Santamarta talked with some IOActive people.
Now, I don't know who that was or what was said. But it sure adds to the weirdness.

Even without that little tableau, this has got to be some of the weirdest Black Hat interactions I have ever seen.
