This talk will take you on a journey from the 1990's all the way to 2026, describing a project which reverse engineered an old DOS game to build a level editor. There will be some assembly language, dragons, the odd spider and some beautiful retro graphics.

Hugh is an experienced security professional with a wealth of knowledge having worked as a developer, a penetration tester, and a system adminstrator.

Come network with like-minded developers, share experiences, and gain valuable insights.
