What is in Neil's Pants?

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

So I've found pics of it, and I can tell you what color it is; still working on enhancing the image to a point where I can make it out. But I'm going to render a guess.

666? I'm pretty sure I see 6's in the enhancement that I'm working on. It would def help if tottie had posted the full res pic rather than the itty-bitty 350px one.

If you can find a good pic of a similar badge with the same font, you could try blurring that image and then match up the blurs - kind of a reverse hash type thing. The blurs are a hash of the original numbers.

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

The sad sad sad part, is i said i *think* it's on video. I have no idea where or what part it would be in either. You are trying so so so hard. I feel terrible for your hard work, I hope you figure it out.

I've seen the DoD sticker in your window... but it has letters

Nikita, I've now watched more hours of women acting silly while trapped in a car than I thought had ever even occurred. The things we never know we're shielded from. I mean, its actually hilarious. But still. THERE ARE HOURS OF FOOTAGE. I'm still tearing through it.

Try #2 : 07734

Nope. But I like your enthusiasm. :-)

This is a guessing game. Helps if you know me. Also, I *think* there is footage of my badge in a video, published for #ert. you'd have to look really hard tho. That badge is in my truck.

hmmm....no, can't give any hints about the number itself. It would really really give it away. It's nothing obscure or random, that's a hint.

Edit: the badge number is 1337, and it's for the Department of Defcon [a rather limited jurisdiction]
09:36 in the vid, for the curious.

Yes, the number is 1337.
It's for DEF CON.
And it says Founder, which was the last missing info.

My apologies, I thought this would be a little easier to find, as I had previously uploaded an image of the badge to the intertubes, now I even I Can't prove it existed online. So if you have google searched the crap out of me and with the closing ceremonies video, I figured you would find it.

The question still remains....
What's my badge Number? No guesses have been right so far.


I would thank Chris for the help in clues to solve this. :-)
Please PM your address for shipping, or to arrange pick up at DEF CON 18.

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

I'm pretty sure Jeff's badge number is 31337. I can't remember what it says on it though. If you are really interested in winning, you should search for a video of last year's closing ceremony. The badge was presented to him then by Nikita and if I remember correctly, she read what was on it at that time.

I believe you are correct, and that's what I had been going to guess. - I tried to download the closing ceremonies vid, but again, the video download server is failing for me.

ok, it actually works now.

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

So, perhaps my Google-fu isn't up to scratch, but I couldn't find a single picture with both DT and a badge; he was always either covering it, it was out of the shot, or out of focus.
spent hours searching pics.defcon.org and defconpics.org, as well as the pic pages for each DC. Maybe I just haven't found the right nooks yet. but I've put a ridiculous amount of time into it now.

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

Todays What's in Neils Pants is brought to you buy the letter M.

M is for Metro. King county Metro to be exact. I found a "Suspicious Item Indicators" and "Suspicious Item Checklist" Card. It's about 5x3 and bright orange.

Here's a crappy picture.

Now for the question to win this item.....

What is the Dark Tangents badge number & what does it say on it?

Re: What is in Neil's Pants?

if the Prez is wrong about this, i don't wanna be right... because i would swear up and down that it is she whom you are describing.

they are both outstanding members of Team Norway, and to honor Prez's keen mind i would like to contribute to the prize he has (hopefully) earned. i was at a hardware store picking up some spray paint and other odd and ends... i gave the old fellow working the key machine my bump keys and made these for our Navy boy in Maryland.

one set i'm keeping on my keyring now (heh, classy) and the other shall be his the next time we cross paths. you coming to HOPE, Prez?

Very nice, my friend. As for HOPE, undecided...
