St. Louis Security Summit
Yes, another Security Summit. As always, I learned some new tricks, even while teaching the attendees. My favorite was while running a demo on one of my VPCs. The keyboard completely locked up, and nothing I did could correct this. (Having your PC lock up during a demo, in front of hundreds of people, is not a good feeling.) One of the attendees asked me to try pressing the left control key. I did, and the keyboard started working again. I will definitely remember this little trick.
As always, I want to thank a couple of the attendees for their participation. You know who you are! I really prefer leading a discussion group, rather than a simple lecture. Pratical experience beats rote knowlege every time!
