• HELLO, I'M EVAN DAVISON.

  • WHAT I DO

    With hardly any experience in anything worth discussing, Evan is a frustrated and jaded security professional tired of responding to incidents and data owners in a broken mantra…"I told you so! Oh, you agree? Then WTF!" After a certification binge and stint at corporate ladder climbing, he abandoned all hope of making businesses and government any more secure from the inside. Now he breaks stuff...

    This is my day to day...All around a great place to work.  They give me expensive toys, lots of research ideas, and a steady paycheck.  The first two make me happy and the last one makes my wife happy.

    SkydogCON

    Staff

     

    Technology, hacker, and maker conference where some of the best in the world come to speak, hack, and party. Held in Nashville, TN, the conference focuses on building community & creating an environment for individuals to interact, build relationships, & grow their skills. It’s a huge undertaking but even larger reward to help organize & execute each year. This one "goes to 11!"

     

     

    2017 celebrated the 7th and final year of SkyDogCon. People continue to find me at conferences & events to share their favorite memories or stories of how it enabled or inspired them. It was a great honor to be part of this amazing event as a core organizer for so many years!

    Organizes and conducts the DEFCON Social Engineering Capture-the-Flag (SECTF) & other events. A "Black Badge" event since its start, the crowds get bigger and bigger each year.

     

     

    Some of the best human hackers come out each year to show their skills and make everyone die laughing in a competition of whits and trickery that could make a lawyer blush. Come early and don't leave your seat!
