It’s Conference Time…
July 23, 2010
The coming week is the big conference week of the year for us – Blackhat, Defcon and BSides. And it’s going to be a busy week.
Here’s the thing – even if you’re seriously committed, you can’t see everything. There’s overlap on most days and multiple tracks.
So… if you’re looking to be a better pen-tester, which talks should you make sure to see? I’ve put together a list of talks that I think will really benefit those of you who are looking to improve your hacking & pen-testing skills specifically…
