Legal issues in computer security research

This Thursday, I gave a talk at AtlSecCon 2014. The weather threw a wrench in the organizers' plans, but they managed to pull off a solid conference. Unfortunately, the talks weren’t recorded this year. The slides are posted on SpeakerDeck, and are embedded below the fold.

I also reprised this talk at NSLUG, and recorded audio, now posted on SoundCloud, and also embedded below the fold.

If you were interested in those posts, I’ve embedded the final PDFs below. The talk is a condensed version of that work.

Still, the audio counts for something, and you can see what I’m talking about much of the time.
