Why are you going to Defcon 14?

[TheCotMan]

Is Defcon 14 your first Defcon? Why are you going? What are you expecting?

(Check all that apply.)

This is one of those threads that should be safe to answer (this top post) until Defcon begins.
It is also one of those threads that is easy to join, if you are new to the forums.

[Added:]
It seems one of the other mods has added two new categories:
* I broke /dev/null and need vindication
* TheCotMan needs sex and so do I

They can be so funny sometimes. :-P~

Maybe the old age and grey hair is catching up with me, but I have to agree with DaKahuna, last years Blackhat was one helluva E-Ticket ride between the parties and threats of lawsuits.

[atomicfreeze]

This will be my first time. I want to see what it is like.

[INIT_6]

This will be my first time.
The reason why I am going is because I only live in Utah and it's not that far of a drive. Going to bring lots of friends with me just to party. Trying to get some good contacts. Network with some people. Most importin, LEARN new things.

expecting: nothing,
Hoping: to learn new things. Meet new people and share knowledge.

[noid]

I believe that job is taken. But we'll keep your application on file and wish you the best of luck in your endevors. :)

I'm going because I'm a power hungry, facist, jerk. At least thats I've been told before. Pushing people around makes me feel like a big man.

I'm also going because its fun.

I don't get quite as many opportunities during the year to teabag items belonging to unsuspecting persons as Defcon affords me. This year I'm really looking forward to the challenges introduced in the area of sweat mark imprinting: with the move to a fully-indoors, air-conditioned venue, there'll be significant effort involved in maintaining sufficient perspiration levels to achieve a proper mark. However, I'm confident that this is not an insurmountable hurdle and fully expect to be able to maintain if not improve upon last year's accomplishments.

[Samurai Drifter]

Well, assuming I get to go it will be both because I've never been and want to see it for myself, and I want to take over the world (Why does everyone always laugh when I say that?!).

I'm in college (yeah, yeah, I'm a youngin' compared to some of you) studying Computer Networking, so I think it would be nice to meet some like minded people, get advice, and just hang out. Also, I'd like to hear Bascule's talk on the Technological Singularity.

I am so gonna miss you guys.there are a few means by which we in the community will reach a hand out to you, both at defcon and external to defcon. a few projects i've been kicking around... let's call them the "TTB" project and the "DCT" project. more news to come soon.

[astcell]

Well stranger things have happened in my life, that's for sure. I'll hang on here as long as I can.

I'm going to DEF CON because its a great way to spend a little corporate money.

[Skeletone Jack]

I went last year, and I didn't really know what to expect. This year, I plan on possibly joining in some of the events, and making more contacts. Since I (somewhat) know what to expect this time around, I'm actually going to try to plan things, rather than just "hanging out".

...Overall, I had a blast last year, and want to experience it once again.

the first year is usually an adjustment year. take in the surroundings, get a feel for the atmosphere, learn about all the things that go on that you never knew about (parties, events, contests), and make contacts.

but your second year is entirely different. its just as awsome, but alot more interactive. you have an idea of whats going on, what you want to do, and generally feel more a part of it all.

dont let this dissuade you first timers. your first DC is still awsome. And you cant have an even better second time without a first.

[BlackOrchid]

I had to vote for the cotman needing sex.. LOL. actually.. I just wanted him to know.. yes.. I do know my pw and to ignore anyone requesting a change.

On a serious note: I go to DC for a few of the conf. they keep me on my toes and remind me how limited my knowledge has become in my old age. The rest is for the fun and seeing the people i enjoy talking to online.

[KeLviN]

only 53 people have voted... looks like it's going to be a small defCon this year... was it canceled or something?

Defcon 14 will be my 7th, and a highlight of my year.
Why go? Learn new stuff, meet new people, see old friends, geek out, get new black tshirts before the Fall fashion season, gamble, live on pizza Red Bull and vodka like the pioneers used to.
I'm expecting... that I may not have to use my amazing Phoenix-native "stand in line in the sun all day without passing out" skillz this year! (but I'll bring a hat just in case)

The primary reasons for going, are getting headgear style tips from render, and speak swedish with Thorn's E-cupped nurse.

Seeing the presentations is just an added bonus.

[EricM]

My reason?

Oh OWEEE OWWEEEEE

::arm being twisted::

Nah just kidding, well, Hrmmm why am I going, a bunch of reasons.

-Peer Pressure(been convinced that defcon is hacker spring break, finally the reason that broke the hackers back, haha lame I know)

-The booze? (I've been told that's a reason to go, so who am I to argue with that theory)

-People to do, things to see(umm yaaaahhhhh thats the ticket ::snaps fingers::)

-Debuting interesting things(stay tuned)

-Helping run LPcon/lockpicking village

-Stand tall with my TOOOL, TOOOL-USA, LSI, SSDeV, brethren and sister(en) heh.

-Cause a ruckus(not like I did at Shmoo, ;) find Virosa/Mousling/Deviant for story)

-Biggest reason of not making past ones, HOPE 5 Con was my first and I was at WTH last year where I had to make the Dutch Lockpicking Championship and bring presence of TOOOL-USA to Europe, but don't worry I'll make up for it in spades, or hearts at this one.

-Eric.

I distinctly recall you showing some nipple action in an attempt to get some free RedBull, you shameless hussy. It looked like a pepperoni sitting on a pasty white xylophone.

Ahhh, memories....

When you tell 'Show me your titties for a free redbull' to a crowd you need to put it in context that you want to see FEMALE titties. Your lack of clear direction is entirely your fault.

I have no memory of if I got a redbull thrown at me or not, hence the reason you'll probobly be seeing my "pepperoni sitting on a pasty white xylophone" once again.

[Gobniu]

This will be my first Defcon. I am going to Learn some new things, and to compete with a friend of mine in a competition.

There are no dc groups down here that ive found so far.

If you have not found a DCG in your area code here (http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-groups/dc-groups-index.html),
Consider starting your own. Maybe there are other people in your area that want a DCG, but can't find one.

never been to one, but have wanted to go forever

[Deviant Ollam]

never been to one, but have wanted to go foreveryou're in for quite a treat, i'd say. :biggrin:

are you coming with a group or by yourself? either way, keep making use of the forums to meet people pre-con and to keep all the events and happenings on your radar. the more you watch, participate in, and see... the better your con experience will be. (you might also want to read through this thread (http://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=5483) where i solicited optionns of defcon veterans regarding what to bring along)

Heh. There are several of us here.

When I was a kid we played tennis, and "watch the tourists turn red and fall over" in the Summer. ( "It can't be that bad, see those kids, and all those empty courts?" hehe) Imagine my nostalgia standing in line outside the Apollo room. "Wow, he's pretty red.. Now he's getting pale. Uh-oh."

Serious tips for people from cooler climates:
Eat extra salt in your diet, really (Margaritas are great for this)
drink more water than you think you need (suck the ice cubes)
drink water before you feel thirsty.
If you feel thirsty, ya fucked up and got dehydrated; slow down and sip water for an hour or so.
You can get ripped on alcohol, but don't neglect the water.

Sweat is your friend: Nature's Swamp Cooler. If you _stop_ sweating and go clammy, that's serious ++Bad; yer fucked, goto medical aid.

Most important: if you're hot _and_ thirsty and slam an alcoholic beverage, you will fall down, go boom, and not get up for several hours - that sux and is potentially life threatening - specially if those around you think it's funny instead of a medical emergency (feeling belatedly guilty).

Interesting someone mentioned that. Actually, it's my favorite part of the lyrics of the ending theme song of the game Air (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_%28game%29). (And I'm studying Computer Networking). ^^;;

(Sorry, this was totally off topic...)

[Mr_Mischif]

I hope to go because I've always been a tech nerd and I saw the Pop. Mechanics on DC13, this will be Defcon 14, and I'm 14 (yeah, I know, I'm like the youngest person on here). And I hope the Flying Spaghetti Monster will see the 14/14 thing and endow me with |337 skillz for those few days to beat some prune-eatin' h4x0r ass.

[TheCotMan]

If you are not the same person others have been talking to elsewhere, then you won't be the only 14 year old at the con. I think we have had even younger people attending Defcon, previous years. We've had cases where parents brought their offspring to the con because they expressed interest in it.

So, you won't be alone, but you will be in the minority.

Will you be competing in any of the hardware contests, like the "Lost at con Box challenge," or the "TCP/IP Embedded device," or the, "Defcon Robots," or the, "Net Appliance" contests? If so, you will want to start work right away, as there are just over 2 months till con.

As for Wardriving/Wireless Contest, we are still waiting for the safe return of thorn (form wherever he is) to give us more information about it.

[alklloyd]

I'm going to Defcon 14 to have a drink with Astcell and Aimsters and Tinky and hubby. I'll probably find some other stuff to do while I'm there.

Last year was my first DefCon, and I had a blast. Unfortunatly it does not look like I will be able to make it this year.

[Rain]

I am coming for severeal reasons...

I've been a geek for as long as I've been alive, always fascinated by electronics and the amazing things you can do with them. I began coding in assembly when I was around 11 years old, which makes me believe I will fit in just fine with the other geeks at def con. On top of that, I am looking forward to the spot-the-fed game. I've been raided (as some of you already know anyway) and I have had the privelage of meeting many many agents in my time. So, I fortunately can spot them from a mile away. If anyone wants, I think I may want to make a little wager on the spot-the-fed game (I love gambling... that could be a bad thing being in vegas?) On top of all of that, I'm a party animal. I'm one of those people that you'd never expect to be a geek or have graduated with a 4.0 GPA from college.... So, I want to take the time to say right now... I look forward to meeting all of you and getting entirely stupid drunk with you. To beer, good times, and here's to heap overflows... well, that doesn't quite fit in.

Hey, I almost forgot! I'll be staying in the Riviera for the entire con. One week before the con I'll be across from ceasars... FOR THE CON NIGHTS, I *MAY* have an extra room because some friends might cancel the trip. I'll find out more about that in the next week or two, and if I have the room available, I'll probably give it to someone for free. :)

I'm also going because I'm looking forward to the CTF. >:]

With that, I will say have a good evening. I am out for my saturday night drinking.

xor eax,eax ;clear eax
mov al,1 ;syscall 1 is exit();

[fo0bar]

4th year in 2006, first time posting to forums. This year my lifelong dream is to repeat near-victory in hacker jeopardy (second day, first round, middle team, middle guy (http://www.evilmofo.com/images/defcon/13/2005_0675.jpg)). Reports of my Corona consumption range between 14 and 20 beers in the 20 minutes or so the round lasted. (That's just my consumption, I'm not sure about my teammates.)

I remember little about that night, but appearantly we bet all but 2 in final jeopardy, and got the answer wrong of course. The other 2 teams did as well, and with that we could have won if we didn't bet anything... but could you imagine surviving another round immediately following, given we were already fairly drunk when we entered the tent?

[Deviant Ollam]

You includeing the "xvid codecs" for windows? Source tree for *Nix? source code for mplayer/xine with the added win32 dll?short answer... no.

heh, the long answer is "no i am not... people can do some things for themselves... my responsibilty goes up to the point where i make certain that all the content is not in some asstard format." virtually everything is XviD (or, less often, DivX or MPEG) with MP3 audio. FFDShow filters and/or the stock package that comes with many media player tools will handle these streams.

[Voltage Spike]

heh, the long answer is "no i am not... people can do some things for themselves...

Sure, but, out of the box, most people will not be able to play the content without a signficant time investment (unless they are already familiar with the software or you provide instructions). Why not include something like VLC which is free, will play the content, and, I believe, can run without installation (i.e., as-is on disk).

Or are you concerned with some aspect of placing executable code in the package?
