"Don't wait for perfect" is the unofficial slogan of the BruCON Lightning Talks.   
  
 
A Lightning Talk is a 5-minute talk given by someone that looks a lot like you.  For precisely 300 seconds, you get the podium to talk about and show off your hacking/infosec related idea, concept, policy, tool, technique, exploit, countermeasure, survey, statistical analysis, visualization, architecture, blueprint, or hardware.

Perhaps you've found a novel use for an existing tool, or you've automated something that usually takes forever...or maybe you've started up a security related project and you're looking for volunteers...or you discovered an attack, defense or response technique you hadn't seen anywhere else (or you saw it but feel others would benefit from hearing about it).

If so, a lightning talk at Brucon gives you the chance to "get the word out" to fellow security geeks at an informal conference.  You may get valuable feedback, find some volunteers to help take your idea further, overcome a difficult hurdle, discover you have a "bigger talk" on your hands (a future CFP submission) or free beer from attendees with questions...

Oh yes.  We have a special lightning talks gong created by Didier Stevens that '''generates real lightning bolts''' in the general direction of the podium.  Any carbon based lifeform present 1/1000th of a second over their allocated 5 minutes receives a "very special tap on the shoulder".  OK, OK, there is no lightning bolt, but there is a gong, and it was made by Didier and when it signals your time is up (which it does so with alarming accuracy), your talk is over and the next victim^H^H^H^H^H^Hspeakers' time starts...  By the way, if your talk is less than 5 minutes, that's OK too.

You can if you want but your 5 minute slot includes your "setup time" (i.e. plugging in your laptop); i.e. if it takes 5 minutes to get your laptop talking happily to our projector, '''Didiers' gong will vapourise you'''.  Failing that, the lightning talks moderator will be unplugging your laptop ready for the next presenter.  You can therefore avoid possible incompatibility issues and losing valuable time by using a Brucon volunteer supplied laptop.

All slides must be provided 5pm CET the day before your talk (logistics will be published nearer the time).  We will then load your slides onto the shared laptop.  If you want to see what your slides look like on the shared laptop, we will be in the main room during the lunch-break - we recommend you come by and check it out...

All slides must be provided at least 1 hour before the lightning talks session starts.  You can email your slides to matt/zonbi.org (yup, replace the slash) and they will magically appear on the lightning talks laptop.  Alternatively, bring a USB stick during lunch - we'll be hanging around in the room during the break proceeding the lightning talks. We will then load your slides onto the shared laptop.

About

Give a 5 minute informal presentation on a concept, tool, project or research-in-progress to a room of fellow practitioners - sign up below by editing this page.


"Don't wait for perfect" is the unofficial slogan of the BruCON Lightning Talks.

A Lightning Talk is a 5-minute talk given by someone that looks a lot like you. For precisely 300 seconds, you get the podium to talk about and show off your hacking/infosec related idea, concept, policy, tool, technique, exploit, countermeasure, survey, statistical analysis, visualization, architecture, blueprint, or hardware.

Perhaps you've found a clever use for an existing tool, or you've automated something that usually takes forever...or maybe you've started up a security related project and you're looking for volunteers...or you discovered an attack, defense or response technique you hadn't seen anywhere else (or you saw it but feel others would benefit from hearing about it).

If so, a lightning talk at Brucon gives you the chance to "get the word out" to fellow security geeks at an informal conference. You may get valuable feedback, find some volunteers to help take your idea further, overcome a difficult hurdle, discover you have a "bigger talk" on your hands (a future CFP submission) or free beer from attendees with questions...
