Happy October, everyone! A reminder that this month's Infosec 716 meetup will be a hybrid event on the evening of October 15 -- you can either join on Discord or meet us in person in the Tri-Main Building and check out the Bit Haven hacker space. Either way, hope to see you there!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Our very first Speaker's Scarf design from our first event in 2022. We thought they were cool, but did not anticipate how popular these would turn out to be.

Students and job seekers are able to submit a resume in exchange for a free ticket to our event, and then we give those resumes to our sponsors so they can connect with the next generation of cyber talent coming up here in Western New York. This year we had 79 resumes submitted, a new record!

Here's @infosecgoon.bsky.social giving our opening remarks in a @bsideskc.bsky.social scarf after getting a little too confident in the Bills for the second year in a row. Has he learned his lesson? Absolutely not.

When we were cleaning up at the end of the day yesterday we found a Kindle Fire tablet in a blue plastic case, looks like one of the Amazon Kids edition ones. Let me know if it's yours and we'll find a way to get it back to you.

Just a reminder for everyone -- this year's badges are velcro-backed, so if you want to stick them to your backpack or other item you don't need to sew anything. A strip of adhesive loop should do the trick.

And that's a wrap on BSides Buffalo 4.0 -- thanks so much to all the speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees that made it possible. From the talk tracks to the exhibition hall, from the soldering workshop to the lockpicking room to the CTF, it was all smiles and positive vibes.

As always, incredible work by Katydidart on the signage for this year's event, and excellent, prompt printing work by our sponsors at Zoom Buffalo. Couldn't recommend them both more highly if you need graphic design or printing for your BSides or other event.
