Hey All,
I wanted to do a brief repost over here to direct everyone to the 5-part non-technical blog series that I did on cons (for the most part) and con experiences. This was my contribution to blogging following Blackhat / DEFCON.
- Being a Research Engineer at a Blackhat Booth
- Competitors Can Be Civil
- Why DEFCON Sucks
- Why the Social Aspect of Cons is Important
- What Can Be Done to Improve the Cons.
Enjoy!
Hey Everyone,
So Blackhat/Defcon is behind us... Instead of blogging about the talks, I've taken a different approach and I've been doing some non-technical blogging. In the end it will be a 5-part series, but the first three are already up.
They are:
- Being a Research Engineer at a Blackhat Booth
- Competitors Can Be Civil
- Why DEFCON Sucks
The last two will most likely appear early next week.
Also, now that Blackhat/ DEFCON are over... What's next? As far as I know the next Con I'll be attending is SecTor. Last year was the first SecTor and I had the opportunity to attend. SecTor will actually make it's way into my upcoming blog series (from above) on the VERT Blog. That being said, I wanted to remind people that it's coming up, after all... it's held in Toronto and I live in Toronto, so the more people that attend, the more people I get to meet.
For anyone who didn't get a chance to visit SecTor last year and is curious about the quality / style of the talks, I tried to write-up everything that I saw.
Of course, these are biased because they're all my opinion, but I do recommend the Con for anyone that can make it up this way. Let me know if you'll be coming up and we'll make arrangements to get together for a beer.
