So the first place that I wanna start is actually LionCon, right? So if you've ever been to Vegas or a security conference before, you know about LionCon. This is more of experts that are in the weeds, getting together, geeking out, having a good time, right, staying safe or as safe as you can in Vegas, right. That's what people go to DEF CON for, and it's really important for you to understand that this actually isn't a vendor pitching event, like a lot of other security conferences are. It was really cool, right? So you're going to be getting talks like that. It took this AI model something like two minutes, two or three minutes to actually crack the safe, which was really awesome. ![]() It's some really interesting stuff, right? I went to a talk one year that this guy talked about how he created an AI model, put it onto a Raspberry Pi and was able to crack a safe and what would normally take something you know, he had the numbers around it, right Like what it would normally take, you know, a normal person to be able to crack this safe. How they took over an airplane, how they took over, you know, whatever it might be right Some biometric scanner. These people are here talking to you about how they took over a vehicle on the highway, right. Rsa is the biggest vendor security conference, right, but DEF CON is where you know you actually talk to the experts, not necessarily from you know Rapid 7 or from, you know, crowdstrike or these big name companies. Def CON, in my opinion, is the biggest security conference. So you know, if you look at the different conferences in the world, right, we have RSA, we have Black Hat, we have DEF CON, we have a huge amount of regional conferences or meetings with OWASP and you know Burbsack and all these other. This is probably the biggest security conference in the world, which is it's almost hard to believe, but it really is right. So this week's episode, you know, I felt it would only be right or fitting that that we would talk about DEF CON 101, right, because this is a giant conference. Right, like, I don't put anything on my laptop but I do like putting it on my desktop case. You know who doesn't love stickers? Right, like I love putting stickers on my desktop case and everything like that. It probably will in the future, but you know, right now at least, I can give you a sticker. So it's not like you can go to my website and buy them or anything like that. I'm not selling the shirts right now or giving away or anything like that right now, but I will be giving away stickers and so if you find me at DEF CON and you ask me for a sticker, I will absolutely give you a sticker. ![]() Just a quick note, right, I will be walking around DEF CON with security unfiltered shirts, only for myself. I love, you know, meeting new people, exposing new people to my podcast and whatnot. I'm really excited to get to meet some of the people that I've been talking to on the podcast, meet them in person, a lot of them for the first time. So I'm actually extremely excited for DEF CON. ![]() But here we are, right, the week of DEF CON. I've had all these life changing events and whatnot. I actually woke up Thursday thinking that it was Wednesday, like 100% certain that it was Wednesday, and I didn't realize that it was Thursday until noon.
