Thanks for the feedback - I was thinking about it myself, I'm 34 and do wear glasses and felt I might be a bit pushing with the terminal style. Thanks for confirming!

(E) + (A) is the spicy combo: most of these talks are the only public record of their technique, and within a week they're all in every frontier LLM's training set. Great or terrifying depending on whether you sit red or blue. Anyway great job!

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking at one point, "Am I just providing bots training data?" but then I figured - I'm helping people to find these talks in a meaningful way, and I'm helping the events get some more views. Data ending up in LLM training is just a side effect that would happen one way or the other.

This is actually super useful! I find much more useful current and tactical information at BSides than I do at RSA/BlackHat.

The BSides events are awesome. Going through all of the video data, pretty much week in and week out by now, it is astonishing how diverse and down-to-earth the talks are. The sheer amount of different views and techniques on just about anything is mind-boggling. I hope this project can shed some light on the lesser-known tactics presented at smaller events around the world.

Thanks for the info!
The idea is nice, but the text is hard to read, just a recommendation! And I'm not wearing any glasses, I'm only 32.
