I'm not sure why they're still doing the WoS. The goal to raise security awareness among attendees seems to have been achieved or obviated. Now it just seems like a game where people try to put funny, pornographic, or commercial images up. Expenses are up, benefits are down, where's the end point? I even think a case could be made that they're encouraging the display of porn by turning it into this sort of cat-and-mouse game.

- stevemcgrath 8y agoHonestly the Open-NSFW filter did a really good job of catching the overwhelming majority of the issues. Also until LetsEncrypt became commonplace, Dofler was still discovering tons of applications that forwent even basic encryption. It was quite terrifying. This year was the last year I ran Dofler through its normal con-circuit, mostly due to the amount of encryption thats happening, I'd have to pivot away to completely different types of metadata that would be computationally expensive to pull, or would require a LOT of coding time, or would require dependence on commercial tools. it was simply time to lay it to rest.
