good all right welcome to cipher con to
point o closing ceremony I am now going
to pass this to Dave who's distracted
right now and here is so what do you
guys think about cypher come was not
pretty awesome I think they did a great
job as there was some growing pains but
they definitely grew into the new size
and again it's a community right it's
always a community in the volunteers and
the organizers are just there to kind of
stress out but um part of that is one of
the things that from an act and
organizer from hack for kids Mike was
very gracious enough to let me come up
here now and thank somebody who did some
work in volunteering and helped us out
and was great to work with an absolute
pleasure I've worked with different
people that had this skill before and
it's always not so pleasurable

so Brian come up I got a nice little
thank-you for you so Brian designed our
badges that we're going to be using at
all the different conferences starting
tomorrow so not only do I want to give
you the regular batch for the kids you

way you tell me you ready all right I'm
Baloo I am the puzzle master upside for
cypher con we have the cypher challenge
this year I made 200 x I made what yeah
so I made a lot of decks of cards that
all contain ciphers I have probably six
of them left so they did go out to a
wide variety of people I'm I guess I
could do the show of hands how many
people got a deck so yeah just about
everybody there so one of the first
things I'm going to call out is
everybody had to draw a shark and sign
their name I received this drawing of a
shark so I had to call this one out as
going above and beyond for just the
first puzzle for the drawing of the
shark the puzzle had a lot of challenges
it had a lot of whoopsies that I that I
found and fixed so they are updated on
the site to make a to try and make as
even though a playing field for
everybody so if you are stuck refresh
the website because any hints that i
shared with one i shared with all
now for the prizes or halle prizes
worked out I want to say that for a
while I did not think that anybody would
receive distal on yeah I did not think
that anybody would win the lifetime
badge simply for everything being in a
linear progression I had trigger set up
to send me emails when people reached a
certain point and for a while I did not
think that anybody was going to get past
10 out of the 15 or so puzzles that I
had in place I went and I approached the
group that was in the lead and the
closest the night says well okay so it
looks like you just solve puzzle number
12 they turned to me opened up a
notebook that showed their work and
showed the answers for the remaining
puzzles and with that they went from not
qualifying for a lifetime badge to
qualifying for a lifetime badge so it
definitely showed their work definitely
earned it and when till if you can
please come
he does have a wonderful notebook full
of notes that he would most likely be
willing to to share and some sort of
right up you know as willing there and
that that's what I definitely like to
see so that write-up would probably be
available now either through him or
through me I can post on the site so
that it would be able to again in the
spirit of learning and sharing knowledge
that would be there for people that want
to learn the ciphers and how they go
forward I am going to present the
lifetime badge there is the additional
price this is what they would have won
if they did not win the the lifetime
badge there is a pineapple nano donated
by hack high and because they they
stopped me on the way up here there is
the oh gosh nerd trail because I forget
who played Lando Calrissian there Billy
Dee Williams they was at the top of my
tongue fire like Billy Dee Williams
picture and sign colt 45's this is
sponsored by yellow sec framework so
hashtag yellow sec on that so i am in a
giving a brief moment for the winner to
make any statements about the pecan how
much I frustrated them I I extended that
courtesy to last year's winner and I
will extend that courtesy again ok this
will be very quick for those of you that
know me is that I like to make a lot of
puzzled at icity everybody else off so I
had to prove to those of you who played
my challenges that I'm a good enough
sport to play along too so fuck you
pardon my french and thank you very much
yet thanks to Schwartzberg and noise did
a lot of communication between groups
that help so obviously thank you and the
puzzles were awesome and I look forward
to coming back thanks
so one last shout out on blue cards is
Brian again the cipher kind of artist
did a lot of the art on there so another
run applause for Bryan next up is Eric
wireless how's it going guys the
wireless went really really well this
year I was really surprised I'm the
stuff that I saw people solve so the
ultimate winner of it was Ian who I
don't think it's here but he also wanted
captured the con and then second place
is red beard where are you red beard I
saw you if you want to come up here and
grab your prize and so just a little bit
about some of the stuff that we did so
you probably were asked at some point
you know what does the Fox say and that
was if you were looking you know for the
Fox that's what the only response to
licit that reaction to get the flag so
that was one of the things we had a
let's see they are breaking what
networks WBA two networks they're
looking for number stations they were
basically searching the city for a ton
of different things that were out and
about and running around so yeah
everybody did a really great job i'm
really looking forward to it next year
