The morning started with a talk by Mark Russinovich, Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform and author of the popular books Trojan Horse and Zero day.

Hawker, Adam Blackburn, Andrea Foegler, and many others for their help organizing the contest, and so many others that helped out on the day of the event.
