Two weeks ago I was invited to give at talk at a security conference in Washington DC called Shmoocon. My talk was titled "Build your own Predator UAV @ 99.95% Discount" and was intended to generate interest and expose the information assurance/security community to the fantastic work being done here at DIYDrones.com and elsewhere with amateur UAVs. I demoed my build of the ArduPilot system and brushed through the project briefly. The talk was well received and I hope you all enjoy.

A big thanks to Jordi, Chris, and all the other developers and testers who are pushing the envelope. I hope you find that the talk generated a lot of interest into the field!

I would think that particular audience would see this briefing more as a headsup on the types of potential security breaches rather than a light FYI about amateur hobbiests.

Well I keep saying Security Conference but really they prefer "Hacking Conference". Think Defcon except east coast and less counterculture.

Mike, I watched the whole talk and you were awesome! How did you get so confident, smart and funny at 21?!!

Thanks Chris! Your advice you gave me definitely went a long way.. (thanks again!)
Practice talks in front of army officers before hand helped out a little bit too.
