Anybody else going to BlackHat?
If so are you going just for the Briefings? or Training? or Both? I will be there Sunday through Friday. I am doing the briefings and training, going through the Maltego training course the 1st and 2nd.
Anybody else?
Anybody else?

Just a footnote:
Prior to going to Blackhat, wipe your PC (or get a spare one). Turn off your phone too. Once you arrive home DBAN your laptop & start over
. I'd recommend the same thing at Defcon. -

I couldn't justify it. No company paying and everyone says BH isn't worth it. But i'll be at DefCon.OSWP, GPEN, GWAPT, GCIH, CPT, CCENT, CompTIA Trio. -

Two words, HACKER CONFERENCE.
Not everyone there is the white hat kind. Assume every wireless network is fake/compromised. Assume someone is using a zero day ready to compromise whatever OS you are using.
Of course nation states send individuals there as well so, take that as you will.OSWP, GPEN, GWAPT, GCIH, CPT, CCENT, CompTIA Trio. -

Well, I knew I was going to defcon, but it turns out I might end up at blackhat as well, depending on how things work out. Never been to either.
Just finished loading Win10 32bit on an ancient Thinkpad (so old that it won't take a 64bit OS) to take to the conferences. I'll get on the open wireless network. Should be an adventure.
