Security Noise - Hacker Summer Camp 2026
Episode 9.1

We're back, by way of Vegas! After a summer break, Geoff and Skyler are kicking off Season 9 of the Security Noise Podcast with tales from Hacker Summer Camp (AKA - Black Hat and DEF CON)! We are joined by Principal Security Engineer Mike Spitzer, who gave a Black Hat Training, and Senior Security Consultant James Williams, who spoke at both cons this year about his social engineering tool "Reel." They're here to give us the good, the bad, the ugly, and the pleasant surprises. We compare each con, how they have changed over the years, and things that caught their attention while they roamed the floors of each. Join us as we welcome our friends home from Hacker Summer Camp and out of that desert heat!
