DEFCON is always entertaining as it’s the largest hacker conference in North America. Back to back with it’s corporate counterpart, Black Hat, it generally draws thousands of hacker-type people to Las Vegas every summer. The related parties, shenanigans, and drama surrounding it are legendary, and this year was no different. Below are my thoughts on […]
CSI 2007 was the first time I’ve ever attended a CSI conference.

I’ve been invited to speak at DEFCON 15 this August which is being held at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. I’ll be presenting on some new research I’ve been working on involving VoIP and steganography. The presentation will be entitled “Real-time Steganography with RTP.”

It was essentially an informal and free invite-only conference, total attendance numbering around 150, with a single track of speakers each having 20 minutes to speak on their current (and potentially in-progress) research. The format was very similar to the format that […]
I’ve been invited to speak during the Black Track at the Black and White Ball this September which is being held at the Ministry of Sound in London. I’ll be presenting on some new research I’ve been working on involving VoIP and steganography. The presentation will be entitled “Real-time Steganography with RTP.”
