Post by: rance on January 23, 2012, 10:07:00 AM
Who's going?  Anyone want to get together for a`lil EH-net meetup?

I'm getting in to DC Wed afternoon, leaving monday eve.  Hoping to do a bit of sight seeing on thursday if the weather is nice (didn't get to do much during SANS).  Got a friend doing an 80's DJ night thing in Adams Morgan thurs night i might wander over to...

So, meet at the hotel? Go out for some adult beverages?  I dunno, I'm not a party planner.  :)

Hear hear!  Although I still feel like an ass for throwing away those time bonus points, but I hate losing to technology! Ya know what our biggest issue was though?  No EH.net t-shirts.  We would have been the team to beat if we had those.  ;) @ don

I also learned how to impression a key, here's the final result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd1aF75Jk4Q

Got to meet tturner as well. Many drinks were had!

If you haven't seen it yet, this was probably the most gasp-inspiring demo at the con (although, attacking proximity card access systems demo was very similar and frightening) http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/01/30/hackers-demo-shows-how-easily-credit-cards-can-be-read-through-clothes-and-wallets/

Unfortunately, like defcon, waaaay too much to see and do, but what I got crammed in was definitely worth it.

Good to meet those that made it, see whoever at the next con!  (Notacon? Thotcon? Hmmmm... (as my credit card screams in pain)) :)

Yeah it was a great con. Some of the talks were pretty bad which made me a little irritated my CFP got rejected but most were excellent. I had a great time, met some new faces (Rance) and had some really interesting adventures that I choose not to disclose here. At least the ones I remember... ;)

I still think DerbyCon is a better con but not by much. I'm VERY glad to have experienced Shmoo and I will definitely go again if I get the chance.
