Had a great time at B-Sides on Thursday. It was really great to meet Jerel, Aaron, coperi, PJ, Marc, etc. in person. The talks were awesome and it was a great time all around. Props to Aaron and his wife for keeping the house from burning down tha...
BSides is an ad-hoc gathering of information security types born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.
Las Vegas is the destination ...
I'm always in #exoticliability pasting weird stuff and killing time. We've had some pretty good discussions in there already with as few people as we've had.
No idea what was up with it being +im or who set it, but it's been un-set so you should ...
Cool. Looks like Mar's entry won the voting. Congrats!

So will the shirts be white with the black design, black with the design in white, or black with a white space housing the design in black? Given the artwork it almost seems like a white shirt would be best but I know that flies in the face of tra...
yup.. set to invite. I usually just hang out in the chat here.. :) as far as other IRC channels I hop into irc.hak5.org #hak5 every so often. I'll have to check out the #remote-exploit & #offsec, are they on freenode ?
#exoticliablity seems to have been set +i, invite only. Not sure if this is intentional but apparently there's a party going on and some of us weren't invited :)
Good stuff man. I'll have to read into their offerings. BTW, I'm getting the posts but giving them 'temp' status because of their "nature". I went to CPC in Harrisburg and BTI in Reading, PA.
That's cool to know. I didn't think there were any 'specialty' shops near here. I came out of school in 2006 with a degree in Cyber Security and Network Engineering (all theory of course). Did some IT audit, and some Pen Testing.
The pen testing I do is not on the level of what you hear EL talk about, simply because at times we're at the mercy of the client and when they say "no client-side", "no PhySec", "no SE", we seem to roll over and say "OK."
Some of the best practice came in a virtual environment which lets you play with the tools and at least get some familiarity in that aspect.
Hey Scott,
I know what you mean by saying Philadelphia vs Pottstown! I can't make it to ChicagoCon because of some prior commitments but will look to go to BHDC, ShmooCon, and possibly ChicagoCon next year. Out of curiosity, are you doing Security / pen testing for a living? I ask because those positions are sometimes scarce on the East (it seems) unless you're doing gov't work. I doing some pen testing work for KPMG at the moment.
