Subject: OTish Security Conference

 

There is a new security conference on the horizon that might be of
interest to some of you. Disclaimer: My son is one of three principles
putting it together, so this email was pre-cleared with Stu to avoid any
concerns. He felt it was on topic.

It's focus is going to be more on the other side of the screen, more
offensive than defensive. But having used his tools, and those of the
other people that will be there I can say it is a good way of
approaching security. Know how you are going to get owned and then
mitigate that, rather than following 'best practices'. Having and
knowing tools like Metasploit, Backtrack and Fast-Track can make you
your own in house security consultant at no cost.

Offensive is my son's back ground. Five years in the Marines where he
developed their network exploitation team. Then some time on loan to the
NSA and some foreign governments. After that he went private sector at a
very good security consultant firm and is now the Director of
Information Security at a major corporation that shall remain nameless.
They approve of and support his outside efforts but don't want to make
themselves a bigger target than they already are. He has spoken at or
been the key note at every major security/white hat hacking convention
you can name.

This is an inexpensive conference, with lots of training options
available. The list of trainers and speakers is a who's who of the white
hat community. It could very well be worth your time. Here is the
website, the teaser video on it just went live yesterday.
