Saturday May 12th is the second annual BSidesROC hacker con. It's Rochester's only "Hacker con" and Interlock will be there running a booth and showing support. Come visit our table.
What to expect
If you've never been to a hacker con, it's a bit different than your standard conference. Don't expect the venue to be a hotel. In fact, it'll be at an old Masonic Temple inside the Auditorium Center.
There will be a lock picking village where the local Rochester TOOOL chapter will be around to teach people how to pick locks and the issues involved with physical security. They'll also be selling lock picks to attendees.
Other stuff for those interested:
- a dozen or so presentations about information security by industry professionals
- a capture the flag hacker games competition
- a hacker puzzle to figure out during the con
- free breakfast and lunch
