Oh, the Places Your Packets Will Go! | James Pope at BSidesCache 2025

At BSidesCache 2025 in Logan, UT (www.bsidescache.org), James “Pope” Pope — a seasoned threat hunter and network security expert — took attendees on a fascinating deep dive into the hidden journeys of everyday network traffic.

In this engaging and eye-opening session, Pope reveals how much your packets really say about you and your environment — from company details and VPN habits to device misconfigurations and patch levels. Using real-world examples, he shows how both attackers and defenders leverage passive fingerprinting and traffic analysis to uncover powerful insights.

After watching, you’ll never look at your network traffic the same way again.
