    You might be a Defcon freak if:

    ... the words snort, bitchx, satan, and dsniff don't offend you
    ... you've ever downloaded the latest ISO for your favorite OS.
    ... your spouse hates your computer and won't let you take it on vacation
    ... you see an antenna on a building and wonder if it's using 802.11b
    ... you can "name that application" in under 3 packets
    ... passwords are beneath you
    ... you didn't know Anna Kornikova was a tennis player.
    ... you've ever set your resolution to 1600x1200 so that you can fit more code on the screen
    ... you drowsily stare at the text on your breakfast cereal box looking for intrusion patterns
    ... you wake up with the pattern of a keyboard imprinted in your forehead.
    ... you can't find the cover to your home computer.
    ... you have more than one web-based email alias.
    ... you've used Google's cache site to view a website that was recently taken down by the Feds.
    ... have ever deleted the words after the last "/" in a URL... just to see what's there.
    ... you know what ../.. and ..%255c.. mean.
    ... CIDR is not a drink, but rather a more efficient method of assigning network numbers.
    ... the ticket seller asks if you wan't first-class, and you wonder what the subnet mask will be...
    ... when someone asks you for your website address, you give them your IP and port number.
    ... every email message you send is appended with your PGP public key.
    ... sticky notes attached to PC's catch you eye.
    ... have ever though about wiring your bathroom with Cat 6
    ... you enjoy sitting in a hard chair hunched over a fold-up table full of drunk geeks and beat-up PC's hodgepodged together into a network for 3 days while slamming down cafinated drinks anticipating the moment you can yell " I GOT ROOT!!!"

    hmmm... i count 14. How many do you need to qualify?

    haven't quite reached the 3-packet level of expertise, no spouse to harass me (although relatives try), kept the bathroom 802.11b... at least for now

    but, everyone knows Anna Kournikova isn't a tennis player... it's a virus silly
    if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

      isn't tennis that game they made up for outdoorsy people that like pong?

        OK, here's a few more:

        --Your first "hack" was completely accidental-- honest!
        --You've ever changed a port number to avoid being caught in violation of your ISP's service contract
        --people think your hair color is because you're anti-social. (idiots... They're all alike aren't they?)
        --when looking for a place to live, the choice of high-speed internet options are more important than ANYTHING ELSE.
        --you can be entertained by reading RFC's
        --You can tell how old someone is by asking what their first computer was
        --you've ever turned to a chatroom to nurse a broken heart
        --you're looking forward to seeing the accordian guy again this year.
        --back in the early 90's you figured out how to tweak the two-digit LED display on your 486 DX2/66 box read "99mhz" instead of "66mhz"
        --"Designed for Windows" labels on computers just seems like a challenge to you
