Overview
The Wall of Sheep would like to announce a call for presentations at DEF CON 22 at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV from Thursday, August 7th to Sunday, August 10th. The Wall of Sheep will be delivering talks that increase security awareness ranging from demos to hands-on trainings. This year, we are looking for content that focus on practice and process. In the past, we have accepted talks on "cool new attacks" and the latest security research, which is great, but not in line with our goal. This year for the speaker workshops we would like to provide skills that can be immediately applied after the conference. Our audience ranges from those who are new to security to the most seasoned practitioners in the security industry. Introductory talks are welcome!
Topics of interests include:
- Tools on network sniffing, intrusion detection and monitoring, forensics
- Tools for data collection (e.g., Yara, Cuckoo Sandbox)
- Python or Ruby programming for security practitioners
- Hardening the enterprise using open source tools
- Getting multi-vendor tools working together
- Tool/task automation and optimization
- Incident response process and procedures
The Wall of Sheep will not accept product or vendor related pitches. If your talk is a thinly-veiled advertisement for a new product or service your company is offering, please do not apply!
Speaking Format
Each presentation slot is 30 minutes which should include time for Q&A. However, if you have an amazing presentation/workshop that would be 1-2 hours please feel free to submit it. If we have time and it is in line with our goals mentioned above, then there is a good chance you will be selected.
