So Long and Thanks for all the Clock Cycles (Joint presentation with Cris Neckar)
 
This presentation will explore the possibilities of leveraging client-side attacks on unsuspecting users to create a crowd sourced super computer.  Greg and Cris take a fresh look into utilizing otherwise unexploitable or unusable vulnerabilities to harness the computing power of victims on a massive scale.  The technique will be demonstrated by examining the results of a proof-of-concept implementation.
