At Bsides Seattle 2025, just walk around slowly at lunchtime and listen to different people casually catch up with old friends and talk about their work projects.

TGIF! Why not support your favorite non-profit and either submit to our CFP, or share that we’re looking for more sponsors? You can find all relevant information at www.bsidessatx.com

Thank you for the support - and we can’t wait to see all of you this year on June 21!

Hey folks. Do me a favor - if you have a network, tell it about BSides. Tell people how the BSides family of conferences works to make great educational content available for people at an affordable price.

Who knows, it might help someone get #fedihired sometime. #bsides. #BSidesLuxembourg2025

Our website just got a glow-up!

Great presentation on hooking .NET applications using Frida and Fermion. This is a must for anyone supporting MS environments. #BSidesSLC #BSides

If you use LLMs as a substitute for learning, you'll brain rot yourself out of being useful. #BSidesSLC #BSides

A crucial part of risk management is understanding both impact and likelihood. IoT devices get hyped up, but realistically they are nothing compared to what most social media and data brokers have on you. #BSidesSLC #BSides

General consensus that "AI" can be a major force of change, but in very specific and narrow use cases. It's a force amplifier, but not an employee replacement. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Top advice from CISO panel: make sure do you what you can to move the business forward. There are competing priorities that you may not be aware of. It's not necessarily that leadership doesn't care/understand, but that a lot of baby birds are peeping for coin. #BSidesSLC #BSides

I got confused for someone else because apparently all white guys with a beard and glasses look alike. #BSidesSLC #BSides

I think my big takeaway is that LLMs can help speed up your processes, but mostly when you already have a decent idea of what you're doing. It's not a magic answer box. #BSidesSLC #BSides

As you iterate, make sure you diff the output so you can review changes to scripts. This avoids nasty surprises. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Always a good idea to check the code/script suggestions for anything that seems off. #BSidesSLC #BSides

If you don't set boundaries with LLMs, they quickly go off the rails. This can help prevent hallucinations. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Each tool has ups and downs. There's no such thing as one LLM that does it all. This makes for some complicated toolchains. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Make things work, then add complexity. This matches the advice I got from David Cross to break things into small tasks. LLM/ML tools are really bad at complex tasks. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Probably surprising that I'd go to an AI talk, but I trust @D4rkm4tter to give me the no BS version of how the tooling is useful. #BSidesSLC #BSides

It's wild that DLL hijacking is still a thing. This has been a problem for 30+ years. #BSidesSLC #BSides

Weak crypto is common in desktop apps. Lots of "roll your own", known weak ciphers, hard-coded passphrases. You know, assuming it's not plaintext. #BSidesSLC #BSides
