Black Hat 2017, Machine Learning, Electricity - Sven Krasser's Blog

The keynote moved to a packed Mandalay Bay Arena with some noteworthy production values. On the content side, the conference featured again various Machine Learning (ML) themed talks. Most noteworthy, the Revoke-Obfuscation talk discussed utilizing ML as tool to detect Powershell obfuscations without buzzword abuse (read the abstract). My sponsored workshop on ML suffered from two power outages -- no slides, no mic/speakers. A huge thank you to the amazing audience who stuck around and instead engaged in my improvised ML Q&A while we were waiting for power to be restored.
