Jack Daniel is a storyteller, wanderer, comic, bartender, blacksmith, luthier, historian, mechanic, and the world’s oldest millennial. He is also one of the founders of Security BSides. Jack has a colorful and interesting history, and today we’ll learn about how and why he started BSides, delve into a little hacker conference history, talk about modern hackers and cybersecurity conferences and how he’s seen them change over the years, and how hackers and their conferences are vastly different than the others.
