INTRODUCTION

This is the celebratory 10th edition of the well-known information security 
conference “you Sh0t the Sheriff” and we are sending this CFP out so you share 
with us the coolest stuff you've been working on.

The conference will be happening on June, 13th in a secret location within the 
city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is a great opportunity for you to speak about 
the latest research you have been working on to the most influential crowd in 
the Brazilian Information Security realm.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

you Sh0t the Sheriff is a very unique, one-day, event dedicated to bringing 
cutting edge talks to the top-notch professionals of the Braziiian Information 
Security Community.

The conference’s main goal is to bring the attendees to the current state of 
the information security world by bringing the most relevant topics from 
different Infosec segments of the market and providing an environment that is 
ideal for both networking and idea sharing.

YSTS is a an exclusive, mostly invite-only security con. Getting a talk 
accepted, will, not only get you to the event, but after you successfully 
present your talk, you will receive a challenge-coin that guarantees your entry 
to YSTS for as long as the conference exists.

Due to the great success of the previous years' editions, yes, we're keeping 
the good old usual format:

* YSTS 10 will be held at an almost secret location only announced to whom it 
may concern a couple of weeks before the con

* the venue will be, most likely, a very cool club or a bar
(seriously, look at the pictures)

* appropriate environment to network with great security folks from Brazil and 
abroad

* since it is a one-day con with tons of talks and activities, we make sure we 
fill everyone with coffee, food and booze

CONFERENCE FORMAT

Anything Information Security related is interesting for the conference, which 
will help us create a cool and diverse line-up. We strictly *do not* accept 
commercial/ product-related pitches. Keep in mind though, this is a one-day 
conference, we receive a lot of submissions, so your unique research with cool 
demos and any other possible twist you can throw in to keep the audience 
engaged will surely stand out to the other papers.

Just in case you need some ideas, some of the topics in security that could be 
interesting to us:

* Mobile Devices & BY0D - Bring your 0wn3d Device

* Real Social Networking Threats

* Embedded Systems

* Everything in Offensive Security

* "the" Cloud

* Inside Jobs Detection/ Techniques

* Big Data

* Small Data

* Tiny Data (the type that breaks big things)

* Internet of all the things you can break

* Career & Management topics

* (cool and useful) Information Security Policies

* Privacy in the Digital World

* Messing with Network Protocols

* RF Stuff

* Mobile Payments

* Authentication

* Incident Response Stories and Policies

* Information Warfare

* Malware/ Botnets

* DDoS Evolution or Stories (or solution, if you have one)

* Secure Programming

* Hacker Culture

* Application Security

* Virtualization

* DataBase Security

* Cryptography

* System Weaknesses

* Infrastructure and Critical Systems

* Reverse Engineering

* Social Reverse Engineering

* Reversing Social Engineering

* Caipirinha and Feijoada Hacks

* and everything else information security related that our attendees would 
enjoy, the coolest/ different/ most creative submissions win, keep that in 
mind!

We do like shorter talks, so please submit your talks and remember they must be 
30 minutes long. (yes, we do strictly enforce that)

We are also opened to some 15-minute talks, some of the smart people around 
might not need 30 minutes to deliver a message, or it might be a project that 
has been just kicked-off.

15 minutes might be your thing and that's nothing to be ashamed about.

you Sh0t the Sheriff is the perfect conference to release your new projects, 
other people have released very cool research before they presented it at the 
bigger cons later in the year. We also like that, a lot.

And yes, we do prefer new hot-topics. "First-time" speakers are more
than welcome.

If you’ve got good content to present, that's all that matters.
