BSidesLV & DEFCON Conference Tips ** UPDATED 2018! **

Often before conferences, I tend to make a post for first timers. I never created one for BSidesLV or DEFCON before.

These are just my experiences and recommendations.

Do your own thing! Make the conference about what YOU want it to be about!

I’ll be adding to this often as my brain remembers stuff.

Post-Insight Wrap-up, Storage Security, and other thoughts!

It’s been a super busy month for JK-47, having just come back from Netapp Insight, TechFieldDay Extra, giving a #vBrownBag Storage Security Lighting Talk, and now getting dozens of customers ready for end of year DR tests and new purchases. This time of year I tend to meet with 10-15 customers a week making sure everything is going smoothly, and also looking over their storage with healthchecks of the past years’ data.

“The Internet is for porn… How high heels and fishnet have driven internet innovation and information security”

This is a presentation I gave with Chris from @SecEvangelism, at H.O.P.E 9, in NYC July 13 2012.

A dark and seedy journey to explain the real driver behind internet innovation, porn. How an economy built on the ultimate satisfaction just a click away has driven technological advances. Racy browsing habits involving our innermost secrets, vulnerable parties and criminal syndicates have driven malicious code and subsequent security advances. Broad ranging censorship involving much more than pornography has been the end result in attempts to reign in such “unhealthy” habits by good intentioned governments and organizations. Join us through the timeline of pornography on the internet, related security threats, an overview of industry economics (legal and ≈ illegal) and related censorship.
