This session will take a deep dive into all the things that didn't work, along with the many challenges that preceded the findings of critical zero-day bugs across multiple projects. Come learn how to fail harder and see two hackers air their technical dirty laundry on stage, while poking fun at each other's mistakes. We will also share the lucky breakthroughs and strokes of genius okay intellect that saved the day for each challenge.
