CrikeyCon

CrikeyCon 11 is live: www.youtube.com/live/rXKtbkB...

We ran out of time to introduce every single speaker, but we're stoked to have all of you! Huge thanks to our amazing speakers and trainers who can be found here: crikeycon.com#schedule crikeycon.com#events Can't wait to see you all!

Tomorrow is the big day for the con, and so we wanted to give another shout out to the Queensland Government! With their support we make our conference happen, thank you so much, see you all tomorrow!

Call for Locks! Our lock-picking crew are having some shipping dramas and may not have the usual gear in Brisbane in time for the workshops on Saturday! If anyone is a member of a lock-sport club that may be able to come along with some gear and help out the crew please reach out to us!

Hey DropBears and DropBear fans, on Saturday we'll be running our LGBTQIA+ lunch time event. Our LGBTQIA+ event provides an opportunity for the community to meet. If this event and its focus resonates with you, meet at the registration desk at 12:30.

Hey everyone, we've sent out our "What happens in the next few days" email. But if you haven't seen it, double check your ticket, we're happy to update email addresses as we've had a few typos! DM us if you didn't get the email with Ticket Number and email address. Droppy & The Sleuth

It's nearly that time, and the Sleuth are running around with final steps. It takes a lot of people to get a con going. Droppy wanted to say "Sleuth, we love you, thank you so much". We make this happen through many volunteers that give up their personal time, and we can't do it without them. 🥰 👏 🙌

Conference this weekend! Another shout out to Sekuro.io for supporting our con, and lookout for their lab in the CTF room. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

DropBears cause fear and chaos. But who forms strong, lifelong pairs within flocks and are active and intelligent? Galahs. We'd like to thank again our sponsor www.galahcyber.com.au for helping us deliver our con! Come make like a Galah and form strong bonds on Saturday with them and more.

What do you do when you find yourself the new owner of Kubernetes config during a pentest? Find out the answer, and more with Finn Foulds-Cook during his talk on Saturday - "Help I got a k8s config?"

You've heard about some of our speakers, and we're stoked to announce another: Simeon Miteff joins us with "Phoning it in: active scam campaign tracking with a small-scale SMS honeypot". Join the journey through hobby honeypot to a "telecom telescope".

If I wasn't a DropBear, I'd want to be an @infosectcbr.bsky.social. That's why we wanted to give another huge shout out to them and their support as sponsors this year. Thanks to Silvio Cesare and Kylie McDevitt and the crew for sponsoring our con! Come check them out and more this weekend!
