BSides Cape Town 2025 - 14000 steps by the sea.
Saturday 6th December 2025 was BSides Cape Town 2025! Our yearly hacker/infosec/security/"cyber" conference. This year it was bigger than ever with over 600 people (I think it was as high as 640?), with so many people it meant it was a new venue, the Lagoon Beach Hotel, Conference Centre and Spa.

Soon it'll be Bsides Cape Town !!! Just doing those last minute tweaks.
Come catch my talk Smart Watch Lobotomy in Track 1 at 11:15.
See you there!
It's less than 4 days to go till BSides Cape Town.
If you're going to be there, come find me or come listen to my talk 😄
Every free minute I have I'm checking slides and tweaking them, trying to get the balance just right.
I also just realised that my last "public" speaking event was October 2019!
@0x58 unfortunately none of those but(!) there's also #bsidescapetown 3rd of December. The third bsides I'm attending, nice to see the community get organized and do those cons
mooncakeReally looking forward to in-person B-Sides Cape Town again since 2019! Sorely been missed by the ZA Infosec community. Tickets are still available.
