Source Boston has officially wound down, but I'm still on Cloud 9 (sorry) following the amazing sessions and interaction I had with my fellow attendees and speakers.
My presentation was well received and with Marcus Ranum, Dan Geer, and Adam Shostack sitting six feet in front of me, I didn't choke as badly as I could have. I had a ton of fun giving this first run preso and got a lot of great feedback and questions.
One of the most excellent things I got to do was spend some time walking about with Zach Lanier (@quine on Twitter) and interview many of the vendors and speakers extemporaneously on various subjects.
I'll be updating this post with links to the interviews as I get them cleaned up and uploaded to YouTube...
Here's a sampling of what you can expect:
- David Mortman, "I Can Haz Privacy"
- Dmitry McKay, LogLogic
- Chris Wysopal - Veracode
- Peter Kuper - "Silver Linings"
- Jose Nazario, Arbor, "Politically Motivated DDoS Attacks"
- Christien Rioux, Source
- Jeremiah Grossman, Whitehat Security, "Get Rich or Die Trying, Making Money the Black Hat Way"
- Amrit Williams, BigFix, "The Economics of CyberCrime & the Law of Malware Probability"
- Adam Shostack, Microsoft, "The Crisis In Information Security"
- Dan Kaminsky, IOActive, "DNS - Toward a Secure Infrastructure"
- Chris Weber, Casaba Security, "Exploiting Unicode-Enabled Software"
- Rob Cheyne, SafeLight, "The End Of Our Rope: The On-Going Discussion Between Business & Security"
But seriously, we discuss such mega-issues such as DDoS, Snuggies, Bedazzlers, Zombies and Estonian dissident groups (and that's in just ONE of the talks.)
I think I've found something I absolutely LOVE doing -- vlogging (video blogging) and will try and do more of it.
Check back for updates to the links over the weekend.
