SAINTCON 2025 · Day 2 · Main Track 3
The SAINTCON talk "Every Day Carry (EDC) Showdown" was a highly engaging and unconventional presentation that transformed a typical security conference session into a live, competitive game show. Hosted by klipper, the event pitted several infosec professionals – BP, Lean, Distinct Mind, and Dark Matter – against a series of real-world IT and security challenges, requiring them to extract solutions from their personal Everyday Carry bags. The premise highlights the often-unseen but critical preparedness of professionals in the field, showcasing the diverse, sometimes eccentric, array of tools they carry to tackle unexpected problems.
