Everything thinks of Defcon et al a a gathering of elite hackers. But it's more of a fucking drinking game.

The depressing fact is that you don't need an RCE to accomplish most goals.



I am aware. I was making a concrete example pointing at a well known conference where average industry professionals would find the very concept of these systems being secure to be laughable.

Somehow we have ended up in this bizarro land where everybody in software knows software, especially COTS operating systems, is horribly insecure due to the endless embarrassing failures yet somehow they also doublethink these systems must be secure.


I was agreeing with you! It's a drinking game because the infosec field is laughable. Who needs a zero day RCE when the president is using an EOL Samsung?
