[ I Survived! ]

Well, I've safely returned to the States with some great memories and some new friends. As you can see below, I narrowly escaped Death.


I had an awesome time at Black Hat Europe. I got to briefly meet FX finally. I saw his talk at Black Hat Federal on Cisco IOS and forensics and really enjoyed it. I also got to hang out with my good friends Nate, Billy, Nitesh, David and Tiller. Unfortunately, even though I've seen their presentation twice now I don't remember the URL for David and Tiller's blog.

Anyway, I had a blast and as always I came away with a ton of new ideas.

[ Black Hat Europe ]

After a nine hour flight and around four hours of sleep I'm finally in Amsterdam.


I've registered for Black Hat and taken in some of the sights that Amsterdam has to offer and am very much enjoying myself so far. Nate and I walked down to the Waag yesterday. Apparently it's a restaurant that looks a bit like a small castle and used to be a weigh house, whatever that is.

Too bad it's so cold here, but I come from a cold place so I guess I should stop whining. Can't wait for the talks to start on Thursday!
