Description: There's what networks are supposed to do, and then there's what they're actually capable of. In this talk, I'll discuss some interesting findings in BitCoin, UPNP, and TCP. I'll also discuss a (probably inadvisable) mechanism for password based authentication via public key cryptosystems. Finally, I'll talk about N00ter, a mechanism I'm developing to expose biased networks.
