One of the things that makes Black Hat so friggin’ awesome is the quality of the speakers and their presentations. Bleeding-edge material, theoretical and applicable, seen no where else covering everything including technology, business, legal, social and political arenas. Unfortunately this also forces you to make tough choices about what talks to see. No matter which one you choose, you are bound to miss something cool taking place in another room. The largest time block for me though is the undocumented hallway track. Taking the time to meet people I know and those I don’t to learn new things and exchange ideas is what it is all about! Fortunately, conference videos are made available so nothing is really missed. My picks for Black Hat that I’m going to do my best to see as many as possible. What are you wanting to see?Day 1

am i the only one who has an urge to punch myself in the neck whenever i hear about 'the cloud'?
@Arshan, I can safely say I've never wanted to punch myself in the neck. But if there is something security wise "new" in the cloud, I'd certainly like to know what the heck it is.

Back in the saddle and blogging like a madman I see...
Thanks for the plug Tyler. Once again Jeremiah gives us no love. And I even like WAFs.
@Shawn, actually I believe I've seen one of your presentations on social network security before. Solid stuff. Just for me personally, given the nature of my day job, I'm sick of social network hacking! Can they make it any easier!? sheesh.
We're sick of it too, that's not what this year is about. I believe there is a sleeping giant of yours that may be relevant, among other things. Anyway, group hug.
Cloud is just an attempt to make services more product-like in how they are marketed. Definitely a hype thing, but we can be thankful it didn't get branded something worse like an anti-IT accelerator. I'm presenting an in-depth look at how to audit service providers...ahem, I mean clouds, at the fall ISACA conference.
if you miss something you can always watch the video online.
