| Notes | Because Defcon was filled with fun and games, though, it was difficult for many security professionals to actually get their expenses covered to attend. Moss thought over the problem a bit and in 1997 spun off a conference called the Black Hat briefings. Although the actual tone of the conferences isn’t dissimilar to Defcon, and many of the same people attend, Black Hat is pitched as a more corporate event. Moss arranged for training to be available as well as presentations. |
