For example, Matt Edmondson from Argelius Labs gave an insightful presentation titled Chasing Your
Tail with a Raspberry Pi. I’ve always had a fascination with integrating physical security with
cybersecurity, so I knew I could not pass this up. Matt demonstrated how he used off-the-shelf parts and
wrote code to be able to determine if someone is physically being followed. It was interesting to learn
about the various techniques and methodologies he implemented and I loved that he made it open source
which you can check out for yourself here.

Another presentation worthy of noting is one titled Charged by an Elephant – An APT Fabricating
Evidence to Throw You In Jail by Juan Andrés and Tom Hegel from SentinelOne. They showcased a
threat actor's activities that have taken place over more than a decade. What was especially interesting
was learning the various ways they planted evidence that incriminated others. It was scary to learn how
they discovered multiple other threat actors were targeting the same victims.

DefCon - August 11-14

This was the big conference, what everything had led up to, and by far the most overwhelming for me.
There were so many things going on that even a couple of days in, I was still finding out that there were
more things to do and check out. I could go on and on about everything I did and saw at DefCon but I’m
assuming you don’t have hours to read so I’ll save you the time and just list a few of my favorite highlights.
