This blog post recounts the origin and evolution of Pen Test Partners’ tradition of giving away subtle, black branded socks at infosec events—starting with Dr Solomon’s in 1996, continuing through SecureTest and NCC, and carried on by PTP since 2010—highlighting occasional design changes, inclusivity updates, an estimated total distribution exceeding 20,000 pairs, a 2022 sock-themed team gift, and an invitation for readers to request a free pair.
