Tails (Fails) from the trenches…

Speaker: Edwin van Andel

• A collection of short hacking and bug-bounty related stories, written up throughout the years of working with the awesome security community and it’s ‘(n)ever learning’ clients.

Abstract

Edwin van Andel will take you on a ride through the beautiful, but sometimes scary, woods of bugs, fails and wonders, located in the misty valley of infosec.

There will be tales of misdirected focus. There will be burning arrows flying towards the anonymous clientele of Zerocopter’s bug-bounty and coordinated vulnerability disclosure platform. And we will gaze at the sunset over the immortal fields of stupidity.

Edwin will discuss and gives examples of beautifully chained exploits, utterly stupid designs, fails and the always funny owner’s responses. Fun, laughter and tears as we cool off and swim together in IoT infested waters. While always reflecting back to the key of all his presentations: Hackers can help.

Will you hop on for a 45 minute ride through these hidden woods? Visual stupidity included as always!
