Congratulations

Shmoocon IV was a good time for all. A few good talks, lots of good times meeting up with people, and for Alice, Mike, Sean, and Tim it was good old fashioned hacker fun as all of them played in Shmoocon's annual "Hack or Halo" competition. Now Mike was last years champion, and tied for first, but it was Tim who came in with the fastest time, and was this year's Hack or Halo winner.


Congratulations to Tim and everyone who participated.

CTF is coming & VM is recruiting


It may be a couple months away but Vulnerable Minds is getting read for one of the best parts of the year. No, not Christmas, Defcon. Say what you want about the Rivera, but Defcon is definitely one of the biggest events in the hacking community. Last year Vulnerable Minds competed for the first time in the Defcon qualifier, hoping to earn a spot to play CTF in Vegas.

Vulnerable Minds put in a good effort and did well for our first attempt. Out of 170 teams participating we ended up placing 30th, besting a number of very talented teams.

So now it's time to turn our thoughts towards this years competition. Vulnerable Minds is looking to build off last years strong showing and do even better this year. To that end we are looking for talented hackers interested in playing CTF, qualifying, and going to DefCon to play. Reversers, sploit coders, forensics gurus, even defensive specialists. DC area is preferred.

Not sure if this is your cup of tea? Check out information about qualification and CTF from the past two years from the L@stplace team (Winners the past two years at Defcon).
