Just got back from @44CON in London. Huge thanks to @alien8 and the team for organizing. This was hands down one of the best conferences Iβve been to in the UK. Honestly, it might be the best-kept secret in UK cybersecurity (at least it was to me).
The speaker lineup was incredible. There were even zero days announced (post-responsible disclosure). Nick Selbyβs (@fuzztech) opening keynote set the tone, and it stayed strong all the way through to G Mark Hardy's closing talk. Iβll definitely be back next year...and you should too.
I first heard about 44CON from a Brit at @defcon this year, who described it as the closest thing to DEF CON in the UK.
He wasnβt wrong.
From hacker jeopardy and lock-picking tables to the badge (which required soldering to unlock) and of course, the talks - everything was spot on.
