Some of you may notice that vijay2 won the SANS Pen Testing Summit ticket last year. I do normally like to try to make sure that people can't win more than once in a year span, but I made a slight exception. First of all, it's my site, so I can do that.

Secondly, his company had already paid for him to go to that event. Because it was only a few days before the event, I allowed him to bring a friend. So he never did get a prize that was his own. He has continued his participation on the site including an excellent write-up on the SANS forensics course that included a great suggestion on how to get cheaper SANS training. I love that kind of stuff, so I felt this was well deserved.

Black Hat DC on us. The Washington, DC version of the world's premier technical event for ICT security experts is being held

Network with 400+ delegates and review products from leading vendors in a relaxed setting, including Diamond sponsor Microsoft. This should be a great incentive to really get those forums hopping with participation. At stake is a
Passport Admission Ticket worth $1395 that allows entry into the Briefings portion of the event. This year's venue is the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, VA. Have fun and keep us posted on the event.
We'd also like to thank Black Hat for continuing to support our own security event,
ChicagoCon. Our 2009 event will be held
May 4 - 9, 2009. They are a rare organization indeed and deserve our full support.
