d-khan is coming to Dayton! What is d-khan? D-khan will be the first Infosec\Hacking convention in the Dayton Ohio area and it will be coming in 2007. Yes... I have decided that I need more to do in my life. So, why not start a hacker... err I mean Infosec convention in Dayton.
Every year over the past 3 years I have been attending Blackhat and Defcon in Las Vegas and I have to say that they are very informative and just down right cool. Tons of great people and lotz of hackers talking about there uder cool haxor skillz. OK... it is really a bunch of nerds that wanna be cool. But, I like that kind of stuff and I think we need this in Dayton.
My vision is to see a convention where the local hackers and Infosec practitioners who do not get to go to Vegas can show up for two days and have fun. There will be talk tracks, a CTF contest, a dealer room with t-shirts and old crappy computer parts... and oh yeah lots of girls whole like nerds. :)
It is my hope that d-khan will be something that I can give back to the Infosec community of Dayton. Something that will bring all of the haxors, Infosec managers and firewall jockies together for 2 days and let them all share and learn together.
Only by understanding our enemy can we learn to best him. In this case, the "enemy" is the hacker on the Internet looking to pwn your site. Learn the techniques that are used to take down a network, and then you can apply these to your site and fix the issues that can lead to compromise.
So...d-khan is coming to town. Are you ready for it?
