We had a last minute change, our last speaker Brek, was not able to get his visa on time. Opened up a space for the amazing Speaker:
Wade King
Talk: CBC Padding Oracles in 2025

CBC encryption is everywhere — and often misused. Wade reveals two new techniques: one to extract padding oracles without errors, and another to decrypt the first block when IVs are static. Deep crypto insights await.

🗓️ BSides Vancouver Island is THIS FRIDAY!
🎉 Surprises, great people, and an after-party at Milestones (appetizers included 😋)
