CypherCon 2023
Hacker 101 Intro
Trenton Ivey
Abstract:
One of the things that I love about Cyphercon is the collective willingness to try new things. Exploration is at the heart of the hacker mindset – ignoring illusionary constraints and finding novel, often non-linear, ways to approach challenges.
This year, like most years, we are trying something different. In this track intro, Trenton will kick off the Hacker 101 talks, introduce the Friday Open Mic, and will commence the first-ever Hungry Hungry Hacker challenges.
