RVAsec CTF Update

RVAsec is just about a week away and we are excited for many reasons!

This year’s conference marks several firsts:

  • two days of talks
  • two speaker tracks
  • and of course the first RVAsec Capture the Flag (CTF) event!

For more details about the CTF, please check out http://rvasec.com/ctf/

We’ve had a number of people pre-register (http://securabit.com/ctf/), which is fantastic, and you can pre-register all the way up to the day before CTF. The only requirements are that you are an RVAsec attendee and you bring your own laptop. You can even show up to the CTF and participate without pre-registration, space permitting.

And, of course, there are prizes!

1st Place – Nexus 7 PwnPad
2nd Place – Raspberry Pi
3rd Place – 1 BSides Las Vegas ticket
4th Place – 1 BSides Las Vegas ticket

RVAsec almost full–15 spots left!

Registration ends in just over a day, but right now there are only 15 tickets left for the conference!

So if you’ve been waiting for some reason… time to register now!

There are still a few spots open in the Lockpicking, Malware Analysis and SANS MGT 432 classes.


Jericho added to RVAsec lineup!

Just in case you still haven’t bought a ticket for RVAsec a day before registration ends, here’s a bit more to sweeten the pot: Jericho of attrition.org (@attritionorg) has agreed to present again! We’re  not sure what he’ll come up with on short notice, but we’ve demanded it end with a standing ovation.

In case you missed his talk from last year, here’s the video:
