Very dry. I'm aware that security often is, but this seemed just a recital of areas where security audits should be performed, with a sprinkling of examples.
Slides were often full-screen images, symbolic of what the presenter was saying but useless outside the presentation.
I'm sorry if the talk didn't meet your expectations. Within roughly one hour of a presentation though it's hardly possible to go into depth of all the areas shown and as you can see from the abstract it wasn't meant to be. Funny thing is, you even mention as a critical point that the content was as advertised.
Regarding the slides: I hope you do realize that the very point of using slides is to *support* the presentation - not replace it.
I find it very useful to review presentations by looking at slides. If your slides are available to us (I'm not sure if you are planning to release them), a photo of beans on a desk doesn't help very much.
I wasn't expecting an in-depth discussion of security audits. I was, however, hoping for more examples and illustrations. I can go online and find a list of areas to cover in a security audit. I attended your presentation hoping to gain insight based on your professional experience.
Slides for about all our talks are available for download at http://talks.thephp.cc - same goes for this one.
Since you referred to the bean counting image: It may look like it might not transport much meaning, but it actually does: It symbolizes the very fact that an audit is exactly that - counting the proverbial beans. And that's about all I said when showing that particular slide, using it to lead over to the following slide...

I didn't find this session useful.

Thank you for your feedback - appreciated.
It's very hard to compress such a HUGE topic in an hour. I think the presenter did a good job. I found it VERY interesting and helpful
Nice introduction to security audit. Nothing really detailed, just a high level view.
Nice introduction, very interesting.
