Hacker Summer Camp 2026 ❤️
I’m not entirely sure how to sum this one up, it was quite the week… And given photo policy most of my pictures are “ussies” ⚽️
But here goes:
Love love LOVE that Cyberr sponsored the badges and lanyards at BSides Las Vegas - commitment to community FTW! 💖
Dave and I took to the BSides stage to talk about AI and cybersecurity (with dogs) - I’ll add the link in the comments.
We saw an awesome documentary about our friend Len Noe (aka Hacker_213) at an EC Council event.
And then it was time to don our DEF CON SOC goon badges for DC34…
There were old friends, new friends, talks, Malört, late nights, squeaky chickens, stickers, raccoons and all the wonderful weirdness that makes Hacker Summer Camp what it is.
To top it all off, DAVID MCKENZIE and I took to the stage again. Unplanned from my perspective, very much planned from his - and he popped the question (well, Lintile provided the answer) during the final of Hacker Jeopardy. On the main frikkin stage at DEF CON. 💍❤️
It took weeks of plotting, multiple layers of DEF CON approval, and somehow even made it into the closing transparency report. 🏴☠️
Not sure what 2027 will need to do to top this tbh. 🤩
