DEFCON Coverage Round-up at Make

ptorrone writes "If you couldn't get to Vegas this year for the annual DEFCON Conference, we have a special spot on MAKE Magazine with all the project centric activities from DEFCON, enhanced audio, images, posts and more. It was a logistically challenging event to cover, but we hope you enjoy what we were able to capture."

Is this where your penis size gets mentioned? :P :P

Anyways, to everyone else out there, this was during one of the Defcon presentations, by Vanna Vinyl. You just had to be there.

Did the Wall of Sheep capture TKIP/WPA-PSK packets

[Travoltus]

Just wondering. I have a wireless router using WPA-PSK security with TKIP cipher type and a 24 character WPA passphrase and I was wondering if that can be hacked?

Re:Did the Wall of Sheep capture TKIP/WPA-PSK pack

[Travoltus]

How would you capture a packet? More importantly, how would you make capturing a packet as difficult as possible?

LOL about the shielded cable wireless trick. I'll tell that to a coworker, they won't get it for days!

How about limiting the range? I could measure my house from end to end and restrict the range to that. Then someone might have to come up to my doorstep to tap me. :)

offtopic...yay!

I recently started reading at -1 "uncut and raw" and it's pretty damn raw. Are posting privileges reduced/revoked based on IP, due to the overwhelming amount of AC trolls?

Back to reading at +1...

[rootedgimp]

Somebody mod this faggot down please. This is offtopic and certainly not insightful or interesting. Fuckers.

woah dude, don't blow a gasket or anything. it really looks like you have a case of karma envy :(

btw the poster clearly mentioned in his subject that it was OT. even if he didn't, really, who gives a fuck par (apparently) you?

passive RFID eavesdropping from tens of feet

[free2]

it seems that passive RFID eavesdropping is possible from tens of feet distance, rather scary if your RFID passport sends valuable ID information to a thief !

Nothing about this year's Vinyl Vanna? [beautydestroyed.com] For shame!

Presentations Mirror

[Irongeek_ADC]

There is a nice mirror of the presentations at: http://164.106.251.250/docs/netsec/defcon13/ [164.106.251.250] For those that want to see the slides.

Re:Presentations Mirror

[Irongeek_ADC]

Oh, by the way. These seem to be Lynn's exact slides as photographed by the people at DC13: http://164.106.251.250/docs/netsec/defcon13/7-27-0 5.zip [164.106.251.250] Looks like he mostly just added funny images and took off ISS' name.

Re:Presentations Mirror

[Gyorg_Lavode]

These are the slides on the CD I assume. The CD differs greatly from what was presented in many cases and doesn't include many other slides.

Also, you can get the original lynn slides at http://cryptome.org/lynn-cisco.zip [cryptome.org].

Defcon was fantastic

[hoka]

I was at Defcon this year, my first ever, and I can say without reading the article it was a superb event. The number of people there was simply amazing, and most speakers filled or nearly filled out each venue. A few speakers were what I would consider "underdogs", because they didn't get the attention of any large crowd, but were fantastic. The talk on sketchtools and on Meme Mining for Fun/Profit were both excellent. There was a random presentation by the (a?) assistant director of the DoD, which talked a lot about the information grid the DoD is building, and how the DoD wanted to recruit skilled persons. Theres really too much to talk about in a small blurb here, but hopefully the article comes up soon.

I looked at

the Wall of Sheep [makezine.com] and I immediately thought, 1-2-3-4-5? That's amazing! I have the same combination on my LUGGAGE!!

[Unixinvid]

As usual Bobcat was funny with his drunken ranting on this years Hacker Jeapordy. Only 3 people vomited this year. I also got to see boobies

Re:Hacker Jeapordy

[th3space]

So DefCon is an event of firsts in more ways than one? Good times!

Re:Hacker Jeapordy

[Bob Cat - NYMPHS]

I was not drunk, just a little tipsy. I got boobies rubbed all over my head for my trouble.

You forgot to mention Team NYMPHS won. :)
