Offense & Defense: Notes on the Shape of the Beast - Sergey Bratus

Sergey graciously agreed to be our keynote speaker this year. After having trouble deciding who to invite as this year's keynote, we had the idea to delegate the task to someone much better qualified: last year's keynote speaker, Travis Goodspeed. This worked out so well, we may make a tradition out of it - each year, asking the previous keynote speaker to choose next year's speaker. Though Sergey has spoken on the offense/defense topic several times, it is the sort of topic that builds, matures and changes every time the story is told. Every talk Mr. Bratus gives on this topic is a bit different from the last. For example, we interrupt him several times to fix teleconferencing software so that the livestream works for the rest of the conference attendees in Track 2 (which was physically in a different building). Sergey, the consummate professional he is, takes advantage of these interruptions to do a little dance, tell some jokes and otherwise keep the audience entertained. Our camera crew did a great job with the editing, keeping some of the fun stuff in, while editing out anything you'd feel inclined to skip. Our thanks to Sergey for bearing with us. We were lucky and honored to have him, and we hope everyone enjoys his talk as much as we did. https://bsidesknoxville2016.sched.org/event/6Mni/keynote-title-tba
