Yeah, it's been very strange being on the other side of that after 10 years in academia! But it's totally reasonable for people to be skeptical when there's a bunch of money sloshing around.
I'll see if I can get time to do a paper to accompany the BH talk. And hopefully the agent traces of individual vulns will also help.
- tptacek 1y agoJ'accuse! You were required to do a paper for BH anyways! :)
- moyix 1y agoWait a sec, I thought they were optional? > White Paper/Slide Deck/Supporting Materials (optional) > • If you have a completed white paper or draft, slide deck, or other supporting materials, you can optionally provide a link for review by the board. > • Please note: Submission must be self-contained for evaluation, supporting materials are optional. > • PDF or online viewable links are preferred, where no authentication/log-in is required. (From the link on the BHUSA CFP page, which confusingly goes to the BH Asia doc: https://i.blackhat.com/Asia-25/BlackHat-Asia-2025-CFP-Preparation.pdf https://i.blackhat.com/Asia-25/BlackHat-Asia-2025-CFP-Prepar... )
- tptacek 1y agoI think you're fine, most people don't take the paper bit seriously. It's not due until the end of July regardless (you don't need a paper to submit for the CFP).
- daeken 1y agoThe scramble to get your paper done in time is traditional! (And why my final paper for the onity lock hack ended up with an entire section I decided was better off left unsaid; woops)
- leenify 1y agoHmm, is that really true? I spoke at BH last year and was not required to submit a paper. And based on the briefings link, there surely isn't a paper link, only slides and tool.
