    @DEFCON 29 was my 20th year at DEFCON, 13th year in the CTF room, and 4th (and final!) year on the organizer stage. I am so thankful to the community for giving me the chance to host DEFCON CTF, and to my amazing team, @oooverflow, for making this lifelong dream a reality!

    All five levels of the Kernel module of pwn.college (pwn.college/modules/kernel) are now released! Go hack them! As a reminder, this module is an *intro* to working with the kernel; we'll be exploiting actual bugs in the kernel a few modules from now!

    Boring weekend? Check out one of our latest projects: the CTF Archive on pwn.college: pwn.college/ctf-archive/ Capture the Flag events are depressingly fleeting: here for a weekend, then gone. The CTF Archive hopes to help change that, keeping them alive in the dojo.

    Today is @DEFCON Quals... and for the first time in 15 years, I am not involved in any capacity! After 9 years playing, 4 years hosting, and 2 years playing again, this weekend is going to be a family event rather than a caffeine-fueled hacking extravaganza... Complex emotions!
