@thedarktangent yeah, #DEFCON was always ahead of its time.
I also love how #BlackhatUSA had this trend of having presentations about stuff that should become industrial standard but never did. #Convergence was presented there in 2011, I'm pretty sure that active automated intrusion detection with #Bro (now #Zeek) was presented there in 2012 or 13...
If only more people paid attention!
