The Official Unofficial 2014 “Best of BlackHat” swag list

August 6, 2014, Yadin Porter de León

Swag hunting: The trick-or-treat equivalent for adults at events.

If you’re here with the 7,000+ folks here at BlackHat in Vegas this week, you will see no shortage of t-shirts, pens, bags, rubber speakers, and stress balls. I have curated the 2014 “Best of BlackHat” swag with my not-so-subtle sleuthing! So what are the vendors handing out that have our attendees in a frenzy? In no particular order, let’s drive straight into it!

Disclaimer: If you want any of these, you’ll have to look at the photos for clues of where they came from! Consider it a swag treasure hunt!

Because sometimes you just need a little “viking” for your wardrobe!

Can’t decide which way to go? A multipurpose charging dongle for on-the-go and some temporary tats that will last just long enough for this show.

“This is the only white t-shirt here! Looks like standard issue is black or blue all around!” – said at least 5 attendees.

The token “Keep Calm and _____” swag

Pew pew! Zap those zany data breachers!

What’s more dangerous than an axe? A bag of axes that blink ferociously!

A messenger bag with swag!

What is Bruce Lee’s favorite drink? WA-TAHHHHHH!

Listen up! No really!

Any IT office could use a few more foam dart guns!

With this you could print out any swag you want!

Keep cool at your desk with this USB fan!

Always remember to hydrate!
