A brief welcoming and conference overview from the conference organizers.
Per Thorsheim, aka thorsheim, is a Norwegian media whore and world-renowned password security expert. He's the primary ringleader of the three-ring circus that is PasswordsCon. By day he does security consulting, focusing on awareness training, incident handling, etc. By night he does research into our perceptions & reality of passwords. Some say it's impossible for him to wear socks, and that he can open a beer bottle with his testes.
Jeremi Gosney, aka epixoip, is an American security consultant and world-renowned password cracking expert. He is the Founder & CEO of SCG, and is best known for being a media whore, and for building large password-cracking clusters. Some say that no matter where you are in the world, if you tune your radio to 88.4 FM, you can actually hear his thoughts.
