On December 28, 2008, Francesco “ascii” Ongaro held the conference “Tricks: makes you smile” at the 25th edition of the Chaos Communication Congress (25C3), a flagship event of the international hacker scene organized by the Chaos Computer Club. The talk, available on video at media.ccc.de, presents a collection of ingenious and unconventional offensive techniques for penetration testing, including level 3 attacks, user interaction-based exploits, and local privilege escalation without exploits. The presentation was also published in video and audio format on January 18, 2009, with a duration of 35 minutes.
