Holy crap, I get to speak at RSA

Post by BobbyK »

Found out earlier this week that one of my proposed talks was accepted for the RSA Conference in March. Basically, one of the biggest security conferences on the planet.

I've been screwing around with software-defined radio gear, and GPS spoofing, and figured out a way to fairly reliably identify tracks that came from spoofing versus legitimate ones.

Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about this.

Congratulations!

And now, we can all say, "I knew him when..." :D
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Glad to hear it.

I've got a couple dozen user groups and smaller cons under my belt, but that's kinda like going from AA to the major leagues.

You Got This! Well Done!
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Certain groups might be... annoyed by the content, but when the technology to spoof GPS can be had for about $500 retail... you need a smell test for it before you use it to convict someone.
