BSides Boulder<p>There's still time left to submit your conference talk abstract for this year's BSides Boulder event. CFP closes on 3 March and abstracts can be submitted here: <a href="https://sessionize.com/bsides-boulder-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sessionize.com/bsides-boulder-</span><span class="invisible">2025/</span></a></p><p>In addition, take a look at some of the fantastic talks we had last year. Today we highlight <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@jason" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jason</span></a></span> Haddix's keynote for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bsidesboulder24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bsidesboulder24</span></a> discussing the utility of and how to build generative AI prompts to support red team, blue team, and purple team use cases. In it, he demonstrated some of the models he created and then ways he tests the prompts, providing practical guidance on prompt engineering aka how to ask AI questions to retrieve meaningful answers. There's also so excellent AI generated art in his talk and an obligatory homage to some excellent OG hacker culture lore. </p><p>Full video available here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGTupePlu6M&amp;list=PLsslc29xwLE2r1hJHSliepnIVugoRcRzA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=FGTupePlu6</span><span class="invisible">M&amp;list=PLsslc29xwLE2r1hJHSliepnIVugoRcRzA</span></a></p>

BSides Boulder<p>With a mere week left before <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BSidesBoulder24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSidesBoulder24</span></a>, let's spice up your Friday a bit by highlighting Heidi Metzler from Summit Security Group and her talk on remote code execution (RCE) and DNS! Heidi plans to present on how to find RCE vulnerabilities in applications, discuss limitations of modern day security controls, and techniques for lateral movement and stealthily exfiltrating data. She has also offered to talk best practices on preventing the inclusion of these bugs in your applications, time permitting, so us nerds on the BSides Boulder planning committee intend to hold her to that. :) </p><p>Tickets are still available for our 14 June event, so register here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsides-boulder-2024-registration-827899629077" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eventbrite.com/e/bsides-boulde</span><span class="invisible">r-2024-registration-827899629077</span></a></p>

BSides Boulder<p>Friday's daily double <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BSidesBoulder24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSidesBoulder24</span></a> talk spotlight is on <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@qcuequeue" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>qcuequeue</span></a></span> who plans to cover ransomware threat actor groups, extortion operations, blockchain architectures, and decentralization as a pillar to keep pace with security in a rapidly shifting threat environment. He will discuss how decentralized sharing of security threat intelligence can be achieved at near-real-time speeds between victim organizations, security researchers, analysts, and security vendors. </p><p>With only two weeks before the event, register here to see this and other talks on 14 June, participate in one of two workshops, and get to meet some pretty cool <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> friends: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsides-boulder-2024-registration-827899629077" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eventbrite.com/e/bsides-boulde</span><span class="invisible">r-2024-registration-827899629077</span></a></p>
