@tinker i don't know if defcon would react differently

last year was so full of feds and cops giving presentations that i broke my brain and i decided i won't be going back

i really think 2010 black hat having Michael Hayden was a turning point. I remember the room being pretty evenly split between boos and fanboys. i think the fed fanboys have gained ground at blackhat and defcon now

I often think about this scene from Patrick Farley's great web comic The Guy I Almost Was.

It was a reference to the Mondo2000 era but seems baked into the DNA of the modern web
