[GSG-announce] upcoming events

[Michael Ossmann]

I hope I'll get to see many of you who will be in Las Vegas for DEF CON,
Black Hat, BSidesLV, and/or Passwords!

upcoming Great Scott Gadgets events:

2-5 August: Black Hat USA (http://www.blackhat.com/us-14/)
  Software Defined Radio

  This is the next chance to attend my two day class.  It looks like
  there have been a couple of late cancellations, so there is some
  availability for last minute registration.

5 August: BSidesLV (http://www.bsideslv.com/)
  USB Write Blocking with USBProxy (11:00 - 12:00)

  Dominic Spill will talk about his USBProxy project and how you can use
  the open source BeagleBone Black as a USB firewall for defense in
  addition to attack applications.

8 August: r00tz Asylum (http://www.r00tz.org/)
  Throwing Star LAN Taps (10:00 - 11:30)

  r00tz Asylum, formerly known as DEF CON Kids, is a wonderful program
  for children at DEF CON.  I'm bringing a few hundred Throwing Star LAN
  Tap Kits for the kids, and I'll teach them how to assemble and use
  their own tap.

  The NSA Playset: RF Retroreflectors (12:00 - 13:00)

  Continuing the NSA Playset theme, I'll report on my experiments with
