EH-Net

DEFCON is one of the oldest hacker conventions around, and also one of the largest. DEFCON is what you make of it.

There are several resources that will give you an idea of what DEFCON is all about.

DEFCON Press: through the prism of the media
DEFCON Pics: visual evidence, thousands of pictures, some NSFW
DEFCON Groups: Local groups that meet
DEFCON Media archives: Speeches from DC 1 to the present, captured
Google: always a good research starting point

DefCon is right around the corner. In addition to asking our readers to report back on their experiences, this time we have another request.

Look for Ed Skoudis and Mike Poor, host and author of current Skillz H@ck1ng Challenge respectively. They will both be at DefCon. If you see them, tell them that you are an EH-Net reader...

...and damned proud of it!!

It also won't hurt to thank them for their efforts on this site. I know I greatly appreciate their contributions.

i was gonna go until i had to buy a new fridgerator...there went all my DEFCON money :-(

major bummer, this is my first summer back in the US (was living in Europe) so really bummed i am not going to make it, my last one was DEFCON 10.

anyone going to toorcon?

I am sad to say that I cant make it this time.  Perhaps next year we could organize some of us from the forum to go as a small group. Those events are more enjoyable as a group than solo. Maybe we could represent EH-Net?

I'm all for it, but maybe we could do the same thing at ChicagoCon.

PM me for more info.
