Purpose

Network with peers, learn memory forensics techniques, keep up with latest security research, stay aware of coming changes in security landscape.

Overview

Lots of interesting research and new insights. Good hallway track.

Reference Materials / Recommendations

Tutorial was OK. Could have done with less disk-based forensics to make time for more detail on memory examination tools.

City / Accommodation Comments

Boston has attitude, and fairly functional mass transit.
