Logo for Cactus Con

Bishop Fox is proud to announce that we are a sponsor of CactusCon 2019, the largest annual hacker and security conference in Arizona, held December 6-7, 2019 in Mesa, AZ. We will have a table for both days of the event. Be sure to stop by and see us!

Bishop Fox security researchers Joe DeMesy and Ronan Kervella will be presenting "Designing Secure Implants," which will cover the motivations, reasoning, design, and tricks of building secure custom implants and covert C2 channels. Brianne Hughes will also be presenting "How to Write Like It's Your Job." This presentation will help pentesters boost both their technical and overall writing skills.

CactusCon attracts thousands of attendees from throughout the country and will feature talks on topics such as supply chain attacks, cryptography, and dylib hijacking. In addition to the talks, there will be five workshops held during the conference.

CactusCon Kids is a separate area with learning activities for ages 8-17, and we are proud to say Bishop Fox employees will be volunteering to get the next generation interested in cybersecurity.

We look forward to seeing you there!
