What Minesweeper Can Teach Us About Security

Yes. Minesweeper. That game installed on all Windows machines before Windows got boring. You'd be surprised, but it allows us to conceptualize a lot of security principles and (bad) practices.

This session will show you how to look at security from the side of the attacker, and learn that showing our hand too early (or at all) can be a massive detriment. We'll also explore the ideas of entrapment in security, looking at honeypots and how large of an advantage you can gain from breaking these bad habits.
