Re: Love Tod's tattoo
One of the things that's great about the IT security industry is that what you look like has no bearing on whether people listen to you or not. It doesn't matter what you wear, how old you are, or where you're from -- if you have a solid point to make, you will usually be heard.

I love you man! This is so cool and fun, I am laughing as I read. I am glad I may have hope for redemption as a Wifi prone sinner too!

Re: sunglasses
That was me BTW.  Church of Wifi is a tounge in cheek orginization we used for years for a bunch of Wifi researchers and our projects.  We've not done much with it lately, but I want to bring it back.

I was offering to absolve WiFi sins (having used WEP, public or hotel wifi without a VPN, etc) and offering sacrament in the form of Cool Ranch Doritos and cheap Vodka (The body and blood of many a WiFi hacker).  I also ended up doing some baptisms with scotch, hearing multiple confessions, and possibly an exorcism (I had alot of sacrament myself that night)

All in fun, all tounge in cheek.  The sunglasses really did add some 'Father Guido Sarducci' aspect to it, along with the cheap cigar.

I will certainly be back with it next year.  It was the best $30 Ive ever spent.

Yes because we care about how some HTW looks.
Right,

Because we should really care about how we look when attending a conference.

Other than to provide for some rather bland content in this blog, I don't really get who would care about how one looks while attending the event.  Certainly not the posers dressed for the part.

 

Perhaps they should combine comic-con with def-con and get serious about dressing up for the (cough) event.

 

Nothing at the conference you can't get from reading.  You can even dress as you please with no worry about how someone will like your fashion.

Re: Love Tod's tattoo
I did notice that overall, there was less extreme hacker couture at BH and DEF CON than in years past. #gettingolder?

Re: sunglasses
Okay next year, I'm going to bring at least a half-dozen of my wigs, and switch from turquoise, to pink, to gray, to red, to orange, to green, etc. That'll get me on the next slide show, right?

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
