Black Hat and DefCon 2022:

The Aftermath

The Swag

So, this was my first time at Black Hat, first time at DefCon, first time in Vegas and it was so much. So much to see and do. It was a tadbit overwhelming, it took 2 weeks after to adjust back to life.

First I will say that both events were everything people say they are. There’s so much to see and do. I learned a bit about soldering, picked my first lock, and got to meet a good deal of cool people. I found an Illuminati Coin and got to play around with badges and fell down the badge mystery rabbit hole.

I would highly suggest going at least for everyone in cybersecurity.

I saw a few great talks (will watch more on youtube) and grabbed a ton of swag and I really can’t wait to do it all again next year.

Rev up to Black Hat/Defcon

Posted on by Steph

It’s been a fantastic week.  I’ve started a new position and I’m amped for the work. It’s been a long time since I was genuinely excited about working.  I think good things are in store.

Also we’re counting down the days to my first Black Hat and Defcon.  They say every Infosec person has to go at least once, and this is my time. Even got a village presentation that everyone is excited about which makes me nervous and excited as well.

Even if you’re not around hopefully people will catch the stream of the talks.
