Why hello there fellow friend 🙂

A welcome back shout out to those came back and survived summer hacker camp this year! (Black Hat, DEFCON, BSides and the rest…) 😀 We hope you collected all the badges and won all the CTFs 😉 Keep an eye out for all the amazing content about to be dropped on the official DEF CON YouTube channel soon, a lot of awesome knowledge and nuggets to digest.

On that note, we wish our friends at BSides Zurich a wonderfully successful event that’s upcoming this month. If you are lucky enough to have acquired one of the golden tickets, enjoy your time there!

But our attendance to hacker camp doesn’t satisfy us completely, so hence why we are back again for another round of meetups as the weather slowly starts to turn.
