Proving Ground
PG 101: The other kind of forensics for hackers
This year, Proving Ground is trying something different. Instead of our normal 4-month program, we’re going to run a two-day workshop to focus specifically on public speaking in the professional sphere.
Accepted applicants will come to BSLV and spend day 1 working with a small team of mentors to build a 10-minute presentation based on one of these scenarios:
- Presenting the results of a penetration test or security audit to a customer;
- Assembling a technical presentation for consumption by an audience of one’s peers;
- An internal engineering “pitch” (requesting funding or resources for an internal project)
On day two, they’ll present their prepared talks to an audience, in a style similar to high school forensics.
Just like the normal Proving Ground experience, we’re limiting applications to those who haven’t spoken at a major international hacker conference. If you’re interested, please apply!
