Black Hat Speakers in the News: Mark Dowd 'Obliterates" Vista Security
The headline is pretty sensationalistic, but we're always happy to see the tech press recognizing the importance of upcoming Black Hat talks. In an online article for ZDNet.com.au, Mark's talk is referenced and although Mark doesn't say anything nearly as inflammatory as the title, we encourage you to check out his talk at BH USA 2008, since obliteration of a major OS is bound to make some news.

Black Hat Webcast No. 1 Makes the O'Reilly Radar Blog
Jim Stodgill of the O'Reilly Radar Blog
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/06/satan-is-on-my-friends-list.html
has checked in with an exceptionally funny piece on the difference the Black Hat style and the style of other tech conferences. We're sure you'll get a chuckle of recognition out of the piece. A choice quote:
"Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but for what its worth, I've attended both Black Hat and O'Reilly conferences and can't recall Satan making a single appearance in an O'Reilly conference program."
At Black Hat HQ we loved the piece and we look forward to seeing him at the webcast.

Wall of Sheep Coming to Black Hat
Every year at DEFCON, Riverside runs the Wall of Sheep - exposing the shame of attendees who log into the conference network as root. But in addition to embarrassment, Riverside's crew offers enlightenment - they're available in person to show you the setup that's sniffing out your mistakes and to educate you on the fine points of hardening your box for the rigors of public computing.
This year, Black Hat attendees will have the same learning/shaming opportunities as the Wall makes its way to Black Hat for the first time. Compute accordingly.
Here's a link to an old article in MAKE that lays it out for you.
