BSides DC 2019 - Closing Remarks

besides DC would like to thank all of our sponsors and a special thank you to all of our speakers volunteers and organizers okay so minimal voice bear with me I apologize first of all thank you thank you for those of you are still here thank you to all of our volunteers and thank you very very much to all of our sponsors [Applause]

I'm gonna let miss Jenny talk to you about creep kids for a couple of minutes and we will move through the rest of the program she is a way taller than me okay so kids I could not have pulled off without the help of my work family mr. Darcy miss Ella and someone else were still working on a hacker named for because so far all of them have been shot down as being inappropriate for us me these are really not right so and also I just wanted to say a couple years ago Andrew Cole asked to help me some more and he stepped up the last couple years took over more then he brought his wonderful wife last

year and the two of them have just literally become my right and left hands for kids and it has been so much better because I've had so much more help and it if it wasn't for all my team this just wouldn't've been as great for the kids so a huge thank you to them and we have a black badge winner are we announcing it yes okay all right because we had an adult black badge and it went to a young gentleman yesterday but ID is he here I don't think he's here today no okay he had to go he had other stuff to do his name is Elijah Garn and he I believe sat for 45 oh yeah four and a

half hours pounding away on this stuff and really just made a tremendous effort and solved I think all of the flags except maybe one or maybe he finished last one after I walked out just a tremendous of no he did okay yep he got the last one and Andrew Shue made again did the kids crypto which was fantastic and phenomenal and he actually huge kudos to him ran at remote this year with the help of Russ Mosely who is the father of our keynote who is a amazing miss amantha who spoke and did a wonderful job so kids is growing by leaps and bounds and if you haven't noticed or paid attention every year the

kids run a little more themselves and if you've noticed my keynotes have all been kids so I'm really trying to have the kids teach the kids speak to the kids and learn from the kids and really turn it into teaching them how to run their own events so we're slowly moving in that direction I think that's all I have for quick kids

speaking of crypto for crypto contest defunct car salesman was the team that won and that was from the book if any of you saw the book floating around that was the book so I don't know are they here so I wanted to say a little something for those who haven't played the contest when I got here Friday morning mr. Jojo white was a very first person to get that book from me and she just smoked her brain and John Matt and Hillary they formed a great team and they managed to solve it right after lunch today I also want to do a little plutt I was very impressed with Jojo she hung in there she is not in cyber

security if I remember correctly she actually came up here for a promised job that fell through and she's selling cars now she's working on her cyber security degree she's amazing please if anyone's looking to hire someone new in the field or needs someone that's ready and raring and enthusiastic and wants to learn come talk to this young lady afterwards I'm sure she'd love to give you her resume or talk to you yeah raise your hand Jojo she's amazing you need someone come find her she worked so hard and she's so super super smart as are all of them I do need to say that this year's final challenge was a little interesting I let my 15 year old daughter write it and

they will all tell you it was not easy and it's not anything they've ever seen before hopefully they'll never have to say it again but it was I think it was just the right amount of challenging that it made you work for it right so a huge round of applause to the defunct car salesman congratulations

you do that sabi can you please come on up wasabi is gonna tell you about the winners for the new RF HS or Wireless village so Rick had to drive to a job so I was left unattended so I am wasabi with the RF hacker sanctuary every year we put on an awesome wireless capture-the-flag we have lots of teams that come in and try their metal and sometimes they challenge us as much as we challenge them this year blunderbuss came out on top and beat the majestic 12 who has been pretty steady at come in blowing things out of the water and then third place was the emoji team so things were tight until the very end our

scoreboard goes black at 30 minutes till so nobody knows what's going on and then we do the king of the hill points while they don't know so they actually see a final tally from Jim normal CTF and then the king of the hill points kick in so when the page refreshes either you're really happy or you're really sad because you could have just went from first place to the third so after all that we got some blunderbusses here I recognize some some beards and some faces alright cool beans come on up

they have been going after this for many competitions and they have come up with some weird and interesting contraptions and they did a really good job this year thank you gentlemen
