In the fine tradition started by the boys over @ Matasano, Oliver Day and I (well, Oliver did all the work) as well as Chris Wysopal have conspired to bring you BeanSec! 1. The event is detailed here, but the relevant description is as follows:
An informal meetup of information security professionals and academics in the Cambridge/Boston area. Unlike other meetings, you will not be expected to pay dues, “join up”, present a zero-day exploit, or defend your dissertation to attend. (… but Oliver, my dissertation rules!)
The location is the Enormous Room (map) in Cambridge. 6PM.
Unfortunately, I have to go out of town so I cannot attend, but I know Oliver has picked a kick-ass place and the event should be great for those in the Boston area!
Be(an) there or be...well, attending an ISSA event instead, I guess...
