How is Standoff Talks (2025)

Hi! I was at Standoff Talks 2025! It’s a bugbounty(?) conference.

## Presentations

This time I’ve seen all presentations! They are good, however I was expecting that all presentations would be about bugbounty, but in fact, 50% of them wasn’t (they were about blue/red team stuff). And from bugbounty ones I was expecting more interesting bugbounty tips.

## Socializing

This time I was socializing more, but still feel that I could do better next time.

After-party was great! We had table-top games, drinks (thou variaty of drinks on previous Talks was better), pizza and other tasty stuff… It was fun!

I really like afterparties on Talks, they are really fun! I want to thank all people with which I enjoyed this evening.

# Conclusion

Amazing event organization (thou place was too crowded for my taste) - PT are really great at orginizing small events.

Presentations are good, but unfortunately there wasn’t anything groundbreaking for me.
Here I want to mention acquaintance of mine, which I wasn’t expected to meet there at all, the point is - he wasn’t interested in bugbounty before! Maybe event is more focused not on bugbounty but as entrypoint into cybersec career than private event for bughunters.
