DEFCON is the world's largest annual hacker convention, held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEFCON took place in June 1993. DEF CON is renowned for the "arcane arts" of drinking, socializing, debugging, and crowd control. DEFCON is what you make of it, so get involved and help the community grow.
This Feed will keep you up to date with some announcements surrounding pre and post con events, references to DEFCON in the news, and other errata.

New Presentation Materials RSS Feed
Many of you know about our Archive Page, recently we uploaded all the presentation materials from DEF CON 19. The thought occurred to us, what if you want to download them all at once and in an attractive RSS? So we made one. Not all presentations have PDF enclosures but we wanted to be complete and list every abstract and Bio we had for our speaker roster. As soon as we can encode and post the Audio and Video RSS we will, in the meantime, enjoy the DEF CON 19 Materials. Join the discussion thread on the DEF CON Forums: https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=611. Don't forget to join our Facebook page www.facebook.com/defcon to get involved as well.

Thanks for a Great Con!
Well another DEF CON has come and gone, and was it ever a great one! We'd like to give a huge shout out to all of you who attended and made it all worthwhile! Big thanks to all of the speakers, workshop instructors, contest/event & village organizers, and vendors who provide so much awesome content for this con! Not to mention the multitudes of goons who make it all run like a well-oiled machine, as well as the fantastic staff at the Rio who went above and beyond for this unknown (to them) and crazy group of 11-12 thousand hackers! We are still reeling that the first year in a new hotel ran so smoothly! We're back in the saddle now after a little much needed R&R, so you can expect the content, press, contest results, and highlights to start rolling in over the next few days and weeks. In fact, it seems like the planning crew is already psyched and bursting at the seams with great ideas for next year, our 20th anniversary! Expect it to be epic! Keep your eyes on the DEF CON RSS, Twitter and Facebook pages for the latest updates as they roll in. Also check out the DEFCON 19 and Beyond Forum on the DEF CON Forums for all of the disussions about this year's show!
