BSides Puerto Rico

Its been a few weeks and my tan (burn) is gone, but I wanted to write a quick post about my time at BSides Puerto Rico. It was an awesome conference and a great venue. Although it was Puerto Rico's first security conference, it certainly didn't feel that way. The people that put the conference together were professional and obviously worked their butts off to make it happen. For a small con, it had some nice amenities such as an upscale venue and lunch.

There were some great talks as well. If you get a chance, check out Royce Davis' talk "Owning Computers without Shell Access" It was my favorite talk, but there were plenty of other great talks. I am sure the other talks will find their way online shortly.

I imagine BSidesPR will be much bigger next year and I think its well worth the cost. The actual conference was under $100 and a flight to Puerto Rico was much more affordable than I thought it would be. The weather was perfect, the talks were good and I made some new friends! Sign me up for next year and they even made this cool con wrap-up video.

Shmoocon Firetalks and Epilogue

It was great seeing everyone at Shmoocon! I had the honor of presenting at Shmoocon Firetalks and at Shmoocon Epilogue. The slides are posted here and the PoC code is here. The Firetalks format only allows for 15 minutes, so I wasn't able to include a demo but I decided to post one online:



The actual talk:



Shmoocon Epilogue had some awesome talks! I gave the same talk but with an hour at (1:04:16), but you should check out the other talks as well. I will definitely see you at Epilogue next year!


Thanks for all the feedback and you guys are awesome!
