Intergalactic Psymbionic Remix https wwwyoutubecom watch v vks7Yfq3cT0 As a part of the upcoming generation of electronic music producers, Psymbionic creates aural experiences that demonstrate the possibility for multi-tempo Bass Music and culture to exist within a range of more divergent influences Passion and innovation drives this young producer, facilitating his forthcoming and past releases on labels such as Muti Music, MalLabel, and Gravitas Recordings, just to name a few With this latest project, John Burcham has been moving bodies and turning heads for several years, playing with acts such as Bassnectar, STS9, Beats Antique, illGates, Excision, EOTO, and Tipper In addition to festival appearances that include Nocturnal, Wakarusa, and Sonic Bloom, Psymbionic demonstrates heavy involvement both on the stage and behind the scenes at electronic showcases such as his local SXSW in Austin, TX Burcham's work informs his repertoire with roots in the furthest reaches of the electronic music scene, and grants him a unique perspective on each crowd through the latest developments of the industry In a live show context, Psymbionic confronts mixes that are limited to the scope of the build and release, avoiding an industry epidemic of drop-monotony that overpowers the flow of music Burcham seeks to prove that there are more powerful influences in moving a crowd than simple anticipation, providing an interwoven dynamic that relies on the strength of his blend, rather than the sole force or familiarity of the apex Psymbionic's theory of music is a journey that doesn't visit the same place twice, building excitement for what's next not because you can anticipate it, but because you've never been there before Site link http psymbionicmusiccom Next Au5 Fractal Video Au5 Fractal -

Past experience running or participating in high pressure and large scale CTFs - Past experience of organizers in being respected by the community and having skillz - A clearly articulated vision for how CTF would evolve under their direction - A focus on gameplay and describing the scoring system with an eye toward observer education - Increased transparency Thank you again to the five teams that did not get selected, we wish you the best of luck and success in your future contests And now without any further ado we would like to announce the new organizers Legitimate Business Syndicate http legitbsnet http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/435438.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/435438.shtml Secuobs.com : 2013-03-15 11:22:12 -

DEF CON Announcements - canary image DEF CON's website has a warrant canary, located on our transparency page https defconorg html links dc-transparencyhtml For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's a simple statement announcing that, for the indicated time period, we have not received a National Security Letter, FISA order or any related request The idea is that so long as that statement is true, we'll update the date on the canary twice a month If the date hasn't been updated on schedule, it can be inferred that the statement contained in the warrant canary is no longer true Except when it doesn't mean that, because of a clerical error on our part The update process for the DEF CON sites is manual Not like two people in a bunker turning their keys at the same time, but not totally unlike that, either This process has obvious security upsides, in that we aren't constantly being owned due to buggy CMS code, but in this case it also meant that every time we updated the site, we were unwittingly overwriting the warrant canary page with an old version This made it look like the warrant canary wasn't being updated, which certainly could have made it look like we had been served - and not in the fun dancing way We were not so served We were just a little disorganized in our update process Going forward, the warrant canary page will reflect accurate dates and be updated with the expected frequency We're sorry if we caused any confusion If you're new to the idea of warrant canaries and want to quickly get up to speed, the link below is the best place to start https canarywatchorg http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/588331.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/588331.shtml Secuobs.com : 2015-10-27 21:21:12 -

DEF CON Announcements - First ever spot the fed contest image Our humble party game 'Spot the Fed' is getting a lot of press lately Which is cool The good folks at MuckRock filed a FOIA Request that asked for, among other things, the FBI's files on DEF CON, and at the end of April they got a response in which STF is mentioned specifically a few times Which is also cool, but there's a little more to the story that DEF CON fans might be interested to hear First Spot the Fed for the uninitiated Spot the Fed is a con amusement enjoyed by hackers and Fed Gov LE attendees alike, and it works thusly Con-goers notice a suspicious 'outdoor kid' lurking about, and they alert a Goon preferably Priest With the spotee's permission, Priest or one of his minions asks a battery of questions designed to discover their mode of employment If MIB status is uncovered in the course of questioning, the spotter and the Fed get T-shirts Both spotter and spotted are then free to resume their conference unmolested So it's sort of a catch-and-release program, if you will We pride ourselves in both our ability to spot Feds, and our ability to return them in the condition received Now, a little backstory For reference, here's a shakycam recording of a round of Spot the Fed from DEF CON 14, featuring the incisive interrogatory style of Priest The picture attached to this post is from DEF CON 2 and features the very first Fed ever Spotted wearing the very first 'I Am the Fed' shirt we ever gave out Memories Astute readers of the FOIA docs http wwwdefconorg images links foia FOIA-request-1321038-00pdf http wwwdefconorg images links foia FOIA-1321038-0-defcon12PDF http wwwdefconorg images links foia FOIA-1321038-0_-Defcon8PDF http wwwdefconorg images links foia FOIA-1321038-0_-Defcon3PDF will notice that there was another FOIA request for DEF CON still being processed at the time that MuckRock's request was going through That request came from badass EFF lawyer and frequent DEF CON speaker Marcia Hofmann, and it was filed in response to a Federal Grand Jury investigation that you might recognize from the DEF CON documentary The docs actually help solve the nagging mystery DT's talking about in that video I had always assumed the grand jury investigation was related to a National Security investigation, but now that the FBI FOIA is out we know FEDs don't all attend because of the talks, sometimes they have real work -Dark Tangent The docs are liberally redacted, but they do illustrate the varying levels of interest lavished upon our little party by one of the TLAs in attendance The docs MuckRock released include reports from DEF CONs 3, 8 and 12 Despite the hostility people insist on reading into the FBI comments, spotted Feds almost universally take the stage with good humor and answer our questions with patience and more candor than their job descriptions require If you want to get in on the FOIA action and see some FBI files of your own, we recommend watching this talk from the aforementioned Marcia Hofmann from DEF CON 18 http://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/570533.shtmlhttp://www.secuobs.com/revue/news/570533.shtml Secuobs.com : 2015-05-12 21:26:03 -

DEF CON Announcements - To get you in the mood for DEF CON s Noir theme, we offer some Film Noir knowledge and recommendations Noir is a slippery category, but it s generally taken to mean films with a cynical worldview, moody, stylized cinematography and stories that turn on darker human impulses lust, greed, vengeance They are stories of the desperate and the doomed, the outsiders who will never really belong to polite society The golden age of film noir is the 1940s and 50s, but the genre left its mark all over popular culture and great noir or neo-noir, if you re not into the whole brevity thing is still being made today IMAGE Double Indemnity Arguably the film that kicked off the genre All the elements are present The lighting is dramatic, the dialog is sharp and the plot turns on murder for easy money Directed by the great Billy Wilder and written by detective fiction immortal Raymond Chandler Double Indemnity is the heavyweight champ of golden age noir, with 7 Oscar Nominations IMAGE Kiss Me Deadly Adapted from the Mickey Spillane novel of the same name Starts with a disreputable private eye picking up a terrified hitchhiker escaping from a mental hospital wearing only a trench coat, and then things get weird A Cold War parable with a breakneck plot, a mysterious box and as pitch-black an opinion of the human condition as you could put on screen in 1955 IMAGE Out Of The Past To create the mood of a good noir, you need actors with moodsetting skills - lurking, looming, smoking with intent No one has ever been better at doing those things than Robert Mitchum Pay close attention to his looming work in this film 10 10 would cross the street to avoid Bonus You can check out Mitchum being extra foreboding in 'Night of the Hunter' IMAGE DOA Some of the plot tricks in this movie might seem familiar, but only because directors borrow from it all the time DOA was pretty avant-garde in its time Our protagonist is dying - soon He uses the remainder of his rapidly expiring time to find out who murdered him and see justice done Lots of newer movies use the forced clock, the backwards storytelling, the inside-out murder mystery but very few of them do it any better IMAGE Touch of Evil The opening shot -
