That time they let me talk at a respected cybersecurity conference

An abridged summary of An Abridged History of Malware

We're coming up on a year since I spoke at BSides London! That's right, they let me into one of the largest community-organised cybersecurity events in the UK and didn't stop me when I spoke as fast as I could to fit in about seven decades of malware history into my fifteen minute presentation. I don't know if it comes through on the video recording, but they even laughed at my jokes, which was a very gratifying experience.

BSides as a whole, actually, was just a fantastic time. If you ever fancy listening to a bunch of people talk who really know their stuff, or just hanging out with some really cool people in general, see if there's a BSides near you. There probably is!

The recording of my talk, An Abridged History of Malware, can be found on YouTube here.

The slides I used can be downloaded from here. For any typeface nerds in the audience, yes, the titles for each slide were all written in a typeface from the relevant decade. IdentiFont is a wonderful resource.
