After spending a few days at Shmoocon, I have officially claimed the title Badge Hacker or maybe ConSocial. The talks were very educating and ranged from “almost hacking your own company” to “0wn1ng a business man every which way”. It was great to see that what is being exposed is actually being used to make change. Deviant of http://deviating.net/lockpicking/topics.html spoke out that companies such as Master Lock are making changes to their locks after exposing how easy it is to bump a lock.

I meet up with Johnny Long and we chatted about his new book and how 100% of his proceeds will be going to Africa. We hooked him up with some i-hacked.com swag for his new foundation hackers for charity. I did meet up with Muts from offensive-security who did show off some of his bad ass BackTrack skills. I must thank him for his time and the swag. If you want Back Track training offensive-security is the place to go.

Later that night I met up with the pod cast crew of hak5. After many “non-alcoholic” (yeah right) drinks I talked everyone into crashing “katsucon”. For those like my self that have no idea what the hell I am talking about, it’s a con for animation. To make a long evil story short – we got in, we partied like rock stars and we were amazed at the huge arcade that they had. Props to the DJ of katsucon who mixed in samples of Anonymous. Check back soon for the video of the CON.
