Conferences Metricon Metrics
[I originally wrote this blog entry on the plane returning from BlackHat, Defcon & Metricon, but forgot to publish it. I think the content is still interesting, so, sorry for the late entry :)] I’ve just returned after a 31hr transit from our annual US trip. Vegas, training, Blackhat & Defcon were great, it was good to see friends we only get to see a few times a year, and make new ones. But on the same trip, the event I most enjoyed was Metricon. It’s a workshop held at the Usenix security conference in San Francisco, run by a group of volunteers from the security metrics mailing list and originally sparked by Andrew Jacquith’s seminal book Security Metrics.

Metricon Research Threat Modelling
Dominic is currently in the air somewhere over the Atlantic, returning from a long trip that included BlackHat, DefCon and lastly Metricon6, where he spoke on a threat model approach that he has picked up and fleshed out. He has promised a full(er) write-up on his glorious return, however in the meantime his slides are below. An updated copy of the CTM tool is on the CTM page, as is the demonstration dashboard (a nifty spreadsheet-from-the-deep that interactively provides various views on your threat model).
