... "You are the worst kind of person! Criticizing these Defcon Presenters for less than perfect communicating of work they have put a lots of work in to. What have you done to make the security community better or teach students how to better practice Security? Shut up if you only message is negativity! Until you are an expert in all Security I don't care about your opinion Asshole Coderman!" [ED: sics' be included.]
i'm sorry, my coping mechanisms are limited. you must assume the right filters. program terminated. --- in all seriousness, as for teaching others, surely i do this much more badly than most. missing experience combined with lack of teaching knowledge a starting point position. there is no How Children Succeed (Paul Tough) for How Children Nuture The Hack. there is no "the smartest kids in the world and how they got that way" (Amanda Ripley) for the skilledest hacker kids in the world and how they hack that way. there is no Building a Better Teacher (Elizabeth Green) for Building a Better InfoSec Mentor and Research Leadership Culture. inspiring more STEM in general a challenge, infosec same and then additional complexities and complications... [0] regarding DEF CON specifically, the joy always and will be the people and conversations. while i may harp on the talks in dark humor, the con as a whole is premium despite oversold and diluted trends to current. DEF CON++ :) --- last but not least, a 8x512G Samsung 840Pro SSD single dumb logical drive in full bay enclosure works best for throughput. what throughput can you reach in this setup?
