That was probably the best image I could have possibly found for this post, and yes, at Defcon, everyone dies. On that note…
As the title implies, Defcon 16 is coming up in August and it will no doubt follow its pattern of continuing to improve. So far the speaker list is looking very impressive and while I will not be able to attend, I am looking forward to seeing some of the videos that will no doubt be released shortly after the conference concludes.
Moving a long but still keeping Defcon in mind, I’d like to take a minute to recap some of my favorite talks from last year’s Defcon.
Johnny Long’s “No Tech Hacking”
H.D. Moore and Val Smith on “Tactical Exploitation”
And last but far from least, Dan Kaminsky on Reviewing the Web
Before we conclude today’s awesomeness, I would like to mention that due to time constraints I have been unable to really put together a solid tutorial similar to my Burp Proxy tutorial or fuzzing with Krash and for that I apologize. In the mean time I will be trying to keep the site updated with some of the day’s breaking network and information security news/articles/opinions/whatevers.
Take care.
P.S. Nice find from Dave Lewis here.
Must have been an outdated copy of the speaker list — the Tactical Exploitation talk was last year, and I have no plans to submit to Defcon this year.
And there you have it. HD Moore will not be at the Defcon 16 so disregard the posted speaker list.
Just a quick follow up. HD Moore is not presenting at this year’s Defcon as noted above however the speaker list is current for the upcoming Defcon 16. If the post lead anyone to believe he would be presenting, I apologize for the confusion.
