Sunday looked to be packed with some very interesting talks in the Build It track at this years ShmooCon infosec conference event. I really wanted to see “Hacking Windows Vista Security” by Dan Griffin and “Path X: Explosive Security Testing Tools using XPath” by Andre Gironda et al. but unfortunately I slept in and would have missed Dan’s presentation at 10:00. So it didn’t seem worth an hour commute and another $25 in parking for one talk. I plan on watching these videos and will update this post when I do.
Infosec Commentary
For commentary of some of the sessions, here are some good blog posts describing them:

Even though I didn’t get to attend as many sessions as last year, I still found this year’s ShmooCon a great experience. There was a nice variety of topics, vendors, and attendees as well as lots of networking opportunities. I would like to thank The Shmoo Group for another excellent conference.
