@dotjayne last #Kawaiicon I attended in 2022 in New Zealand (#infosec con that succeeded #Kiwicon), mask wearing was mandatory and free masks and RAT tests provided thanks to support from sponsors and NZ Ministry of Health. Over 1700 people in a crowded venue. Only spreading was at side events where people unmasked.

@pezmico maybe not but it inspired many jokes at an infosec conference I went to #Kiwicon. The organisers were big fans.

One of my first albums was The Kick Inside by Kate Bush, featuring the wonderful "Wuthering Heights".

The music video was also the inspiration for

@hacks4pancakes Great listing - can play #bingo with that! Reminds me of the iconic #Kiwicon III poster about things #hackers don’t care about:

A week ago I came back from #Chcon, my first non-Kawaiicon #infosec conference. So it was quite a bit of fun going through some of my photos from 10 #Kiwicon / #Kawaiicon events and realise for how long I've known some people already yet usually only see once a year. What a treat now to have had the opportunity for a second time this year. https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/collections/72157637469446115

Hullo! It's me @munmap and you may remember me from such pretentious competitions as Mobile #Pwn2Own 2016, 2017, and 2018, as well as Desktop Pwn2Own 2018.
I even got a #Pwnie once for taking the piss with Samsung and chaining 12 second-rate bugs into a one-click APK install on their Galaxy S8. We may have also crossed paths at #SyScan, #Kiwicon, #Infiltrate, #ZeroNights, #ekoparty, #CanSecWest, etc.

I've been hacking (trying?) for over 10 years and I've been fascinated with #fuzzing, VR tooling, and general bug hunting for as long as I can remember.

I recently left (yet another) defence contractor and now I work for a small, tight-knit UK-based company called Interrupt Labs. We focus on VR and XD for a broad range of targets such as browsers, mobile platforms, embedded, automotive, and everything in between. :-)

I see I just missed the rebranded KiwiCon for 2022:

Here's my talk from #kawaiicon #kiwicon a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RtWQGHS8Io

Who's this guy on stage? #Kawaiicon #kiwicon

Hmm, where's the @jpdanner@twitter.com #kiwicon #kawaiicon tweets?!

KAWAIIcon (#kiwicon) tickets are out baby.

@dubh

I did wish that Schneider's #kiwicon talk too a moment to consider that question from a non-US perspective.

I get that his perspective is from USA but the audience weren't and the talk was as if US interests/defenses were ours.

Minor point on an otherwise good talk!

I loved joining in on this at my first year at #kiwicon, especially since now I have a badge like this forever. Shout outs to @TequinDragon, and all the folks whom he worked with in turn, to make this happen 💜👌 https://twitter.com/kyhwana/status/1063712737350496256
