Hack The North

Hack The North... What The Hack Is That? Hack The North is Canada's largest international hackathon. It's big. It's bad. It's awesome. Okay, but what does that even mean? The idea is that 1000 people get together from all over the world in an event where they're given 36 hours to create amazing technology hacks. There's a lack of sleep but no lack of amazing ideas and hacked together proof of concepts that show incredible innovation.

    Cameron Sapp and a Little Background A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to start publicly acknowledging some of my teammates. While this is the first one, it certainly won't be the last. At Magnet Forensics, I'm surrounded by many individuals that bring a lot to the table. There's certainly no reason and no way I'd only be able to pick one person to write about. Now there wasn't a particular reason I picked this individual first, but I think I had some concrete things fresh in my head that I wanted to share. Without too much more rambling, I'd like to introduce Cameron Sapp! New Kid on the Block Cameron joined our team earlier this year. I don't think any of us doubted his technical abilities and we were all excited to bring him on board.…
