Presented at
DEF CON 23 (2015),
Aug. 8, 2015, 6 p.m.
(120 minutes).
This year at DEF CON a former FAIL PANEL panelist attempts to keep the spirit alive by playing moderator. Less poetry, more roasting. A new cast of characters, more lulz, and no rules. Nothing is sacred, not the industry, not the audience, not even each other. Our cast of characters will bring you all sorts of technical fail, ROFLCOPTER to back it up. No waffles, but we have other tricks up our sleeve to punish, er, um, show love to our audience, all while raising money of the EFF and HFC. The FAIL PANEL may be dead, but the "giving" goes on.

Amanda Berlin / Infosystir
- Hurricane Labs
as Amanda Berlin
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade.... making the decision to leave Amanda behind. Ms. Berlin is now rumored to have illegitimate children by Saudi Oil barons hidden all over the world in at least 27 countries but this can neither be confirmed nor denied.
Amanda Berlin is a Network Security Engineer at Hurricane Labs. She is most well known for being a breaker of hearts, knees, and SJW's. Bringing "Jack of All Trades" back to being sexy, she has worked her fingers to the bone securing ISPs, Healthcare facilities, Artificial Insemination factories, and brothels. Amanda managed the internal phishing campaign at a medium size healthcare facility to promote user education about phishing and hacking through an awards based reporting program. She is a lead organizer for CircleCityCon, volunteers at many other conferences, and enjoys writing and teaching others.
