Zanshin Tech - Samurai in the digital age

Presented at RomHack 2018, Sept. 22, 2018, 2:30 p.m. (30 minutes)

At the beginning of this talk we will watch a video about a group of teenagers using OSINT to deal with a hypothetical attacker reported to them by another teenager in distress. The video provides us with the opportunity to introduce Zanshin Tech, which is the first martial art for the information age; the aim of Zanshin Tech is to teach anyone above the age of 11 to defend themselves on the internet by using technologies faster and more effectively than their assailants while at the same time, respecting the values of traditional martial arts.
