Upcoming talk on password managers

On Wednesday (12/17), Collin Jackson will be giving a talk at MIT titled, “Extracting Passwords from JavaScript Password Managers“. I can’t go due to scheduling conflicts but it seems worth considering if you are local and interested in my post about PassPack and Clipperz. I didn’t see any obvious papers from Collin’s website about the attacks he is describing but there are some that look worth reading.

    Collin is working on a security assessment focused on the Bookmarklet component used by some Online Password Managers.

    He was very kind in notifying us (Clipperz) about a vulnerability that he found, and that we have already fixed.
