Play it again, Sam

It's been a week and I'm finally getting a chance to write about it. defcon 15 was another amazing ride. My talk went well, I got to hang out with friends, and oh don't forget another round of black badges and leather jackets.
Once again, I can brag on my ability to surround myself with amazing folk. drb, fury, jrod, mezzendo, plato, psifertex, shiruken, wrffr, each talented, each proven capable of finding and exploiting binary vulns like buffer overflows, and each a key part of our team. I'm honored to have them on my team, and have been rewarded with two years of victory at the con.

We were impressed with a great showing by the Sexy Pandas from Spain, who were the only other team to take the lead throughout the game. But once again, the most amazing team we competed against was the Sk3wl of r00t, largely from the Naval Postgraduate school. The most potent, once again, was Sk3wlmast3r.
Also featured this year were teams from Korea, France, and I believe, Sweden. This year, kenshoto put on yet another amazing game, but with fewer glitches. Only a couple network glitches which caused interesting submission issues.

I'd like to take the chance to reiterate my respect for everyone who made it to that game. To qualify for CTF is to win.

Not a lot more to say than that. Thank you gentlemen.
