Culture

[Dave Aitel <dave.aitel () gmail com>]

In an hour I magically recover from pneumonia and fly to San Fran to give
this talk (which if you've been following along as I dev'd it is basically
done): http://prezi.com/wdqab38lxr89/three-cyber-war-fallacies-usenix-2011/
The conference page is here, and if you look at the picture you can see
http://www.usenix.org/events/sec11/tech/ from the picture, that is a LOT of
bored academics listening to me go on and on for about an hour and a half
about cyberwar things. I encourage any of those hacker peeps in San Fran to
come and crash the party! Who knows, maybe I'll get heckled by Sinan?

One of my friends was saying earlier how he doesn't see why people use Prezi
- and my thoughts are that most technical talks are simple linear processes.
X Problem was found. Y was used to solve it. It worked Z percent of the
time.

Actually, I'm curious about the crowd at Usenix - not about their technical
skills or fashion sense, but about the culture. One thing I like about
BlackHat is that you get to hang out with a wider group of people who share
the same inner culture. The reality is, you can be in a circle of people,
half of whom you've never met before, and share, without fear, an opinion
that would have at some level deeply offended or embarrassed almost any
group you could party with at home.

Ah, of course, and at BlackHat, the best AP to impersonate with SILICA was
"gogointernet", the flight service from American.
