Why ZaCon ?
 people@zacon.org.za
Where this came from?
4 Conferences we spoke
     at last year..
Cool speakers,
 Great setup!
Sponsors && Vendors!
A chance for us to act
      academic..
We love ISSA..
(its good fun)
other guys.. not so much
We love Defcon
(8 years in a row)
The commute is a pain..
Blackhat USA is cool..
The commute is a pain..
   And Expensive!!
Primary Aims..

1) Local
2) Non Vendor Aligned
3) Not pure Academia
4) Not hellishly expensive
but wait.. theres more!
2009 Zacon  Haroon  Meer
National Pride..
         Australia and New Zealand were as isolated
         as we were..

         They managed to produce:

•   Brett Moore      •   Mark Dowd        •   Chris Spencer
•   Shaun Clowes     •   AndrewG          •   Nemo
•   Mercy            •   MettleStorm      •   Justine Aitel
•   Ben Nagy         •   Paul Craig       •   Peter Guttman
•   Ben Hawkes       •   Kuza55           •   Silvio
•   Michael Howard   •   Steve Micallef   •   ...
Win at buzz-word bingo!
Actually.. thats back
     asswards..
“smashing the stack”

   “1997 vs 2009”
So the conundrum is..

• the    problems are getting harder..

• new entrants find it harder to cut
 their teeth..

• old   guys are.. well.. getting older..

• this   is very very chicken or egg...
but on the bright side..

         oct 98 olaf kirch null
         byte in bugtraq
this is ur vehicle.. talk about
                  whats cool for u..

                  ignore those who think its lame..

                  and if u one of the leet guys who
                  think that its lame.. come do
                  better..




 we just need (more)
people to be un-afraid
  to give it a shot..
More Aims..
                            non pros

                            tech over process




5) For sec geeks by sec geeks..
6) Grow the Pool
   a) Lower barriers to entry
7) have some fun :)
Lastly.. (phew)
• ZaCon    #1 was the beginning..

• There   are no plans to make money of
 this..

• Use   the feedback forms..

• Use   the feedback forms (wisely)..

• Thank   the speakers..            1) Local
                                    2) Non Vendor Aligned
• Thanks   for coming..             3) Not pure Academia
                                    4) Not hellishly expensive
                                    5) For sec geeks by sec geeks..
                                    6) Grow the Pool
                                    7) have some fun :)
