Psychotomy

stayed up way late (2am) last night trying to set up my systems for the conference today. ended up with just the one really working system (emachines: bad drive; HP: slow as heck, and may be having drive problems, linux install kept kvetching)

got up at 6 or 6:30, got my stuff together , ran down to the office to hit the credit union for a check for home depot, then rushed back up to baltimore :o actually got there only a couple minutes late for my session. counting the checkin and stuff.

good session, an’ all. incident handling and response. I’m not really part of the IH/R team of course, they’re the guys that come steal my harddrives when something goes bad. but the rest of the session is intrusion techniques and attack vectors, so it’s useful knowledge and not too much to wade through for hte good stuff.

Turned out that we didn’t need our laptops today (FUCK! i coulda gone to bed at a reasonable fucking hour???).

I took my work laptop (powerbook 12″) figuring i’d hook up to the conference wireless and be able to do some work, maybe chat in irc with folks. no wireless. no networking in the conferene rooms. Not taking that back tomrrow :o

got a book of notes for the session. Actually got 6. one for each day. we went through 250 slides today !!!

stayed after for the vmware session, b/c the directions in the notes didn’t make any sense. there was a typo. just where i thought it was too. convenient, but i figured I might get something else. and it was 20 minutes or so

I left before the intro linux session. i might get some bits from the rest of the week, but i didn’t need to stay for 90 minutes of intro :o
