Quick Conference Review
    It was good to see everybody in Vegas, even better meeting new people. Especially some folks I wanted to meet for a long time. I had a good time at WOOT, meeting old friends was especially good. Maybe it helped that it was in the CanSecWest hotel. I link a few relevant papers below.

Stefan Esser is running a kickstarter for an iOS Kernel Exploitation Training Course for Development of a freely available online iOS kernel exploitation training course based on iOS 9.3.5 on 32 bit devices. If you are into iOS security you should support Stefan's project!
