We could really do with some UK based CTF events, Paul/Larry/John can you give us any pointers in how we could set-up some CTF events. Do you guys get sponsorship for the event or do they tend to be home grown. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2009/7/30 <lists at truthisfreedom.org.uk>
Hi all, Working in the IT industry, I'm well aware that computer security is a world-wide problem, however I'm having real issues finding other people in the UK that are interested in events like Capture the Flag and security conferences. Most of the security conferences I've attended over here are really glorified sales pitches from the primary sponsor along with loads of other companies guaranteing to "secure 100% of your data for ever and never get hacked in your life whilst your one of our customers for less money than you might think" and other such quackery. [0] Is anyone else on the list in the UK? If so, have I missed an entire sub-culture or is it just not british to talk about the fact that people get hacked? :) Cheers, M. [0] If you value your data, you shouldn't need to secure it for "less than you think", you should be willing to pay what ever you have to IMHO... :P _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
