Full Report
SourceBoston completed its first conference earlier this month, and some of the slide decks and videos are up.. While the image of the young hax0rs indeed brings back fond memories of surfing blackcrawlarch and trying in vain to get mosaic chat to work in the lounge, it isnt one of the 2 reasons to rejoice.. The chance to watch Dr. Dan Geers talk (Dr Geer is one of those people who remind you how un-smart you are everytime you hear him speak) And on a mildly unrelated note (for some definition of mild), the fact that all USENIX conference proceedings have been made available freely online.. Rock on!
Analysis Summary
# Main Topic
The provided text focuses on positive developments within the security/hacker community stemming from the conclusion of the SourceBoston conference and the public availability of USENIX conference proceedings, rather than documenting an active threat intelligence incident, actor, or campaign.
## Key Points
- SourceBoston conference slides and videos are now available.
- A presentation by Dr. Dan Geers is highlighted as a key piece of content available from the conference.
- All USENIX conference proceedings have been made available freely online.
- The content evokes nostalgia related to early internet/hacking culture ("surfing blackcrawlarch," "mosaic chat").
## Threat Actors
- No specific threat actors, APTs, or malicious entities are mentioned in this context.
## TTPs
- No specific Tactics, Techniques, or Procedures (TTPs) related to cyber attacks are mentioned.
## Affected Systems
- No systems or victims affected by a threat actor are mentioned. The focus is on accessible educational and historical content.
## Mitigations

## Conclusion
This entry cannot be treated as a standard threat intelligence report summary. It documents community milestones—the release of conference materials (SourceBoston and USENIX) and reference to educational content (Dr. Geer's talk)—rather than detailing an active cyber threat, requiring a summary focused on these knowledge-sharing events.
