Did you totally think that the green sauce was guacamole? Nope… it was pure jalapeño fire!!
The Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata hosted BSIDES 2023 and it was my third time attending. We stayed at the hotel which was so practical. The Brookstreet is a rather nice hotel and good luck getting back up after you lie into bed. Those bed are like quicksand!
Compared to HACKFEST QUEBEC, BSIDES OTTAWA caters more to people who protect critical infrastructure. I learned a lot of stuff about a lot of things I am unlikely to encounter. My sweetie was better served by these talks and he also discovered that he can pick locks! Again, the villages were very interesting and staffed by passionate and kowledgeable people always happy to answer my stupid questions.
I didn’t submit a CFP to any conferences this year because I cannot tell which category my latest research should be submitted to. I have been working with an analog system that doesn’t directly relate to computing.
When I gave a talk at BSides in 2018, I told the audience about hacking Haliburton inadvertantly. I was an end-of-day talk for after the bar opens! I only want to do humorous talks that poke fun at hacker culture or show unexpected examples of hacking.
Next Stop: NSEC 2024 with the Badgelife Museum and 35-station Soldering Village!
