  • First Official Tamper-Evident Village!

    Hello everyone,

    Defcon 21 will have the first ever Tamper-Evident Village! For a few years my team (The MFPs / Motherfucking Professionals) has won the tamper contest at Defcon, and this year we'll be dedicating ourselves to running the tamper village alongside the tamper contest organizers. Tamper is a great hobby and one of the relatively unexplored areas of physical security. Come learn about it in a friendly, hands-on environment!

    On the bill for the DC21 Tamper Village:

    * For your viewing pleasure, collections of high-security tamper-evident seals from around the world.
    * Sit-down presentations & demonstrations on various aspects of tamper-evident seals and methods to defeat them.
    * Hands-on fun with adhesive seals, mechanical seals, envelopes, and evidence bags.
    * Electronics rework & reverse engeineering stations for working with electronic tamper seals.
    * Contest workspaces (space permitting). Sit down in the village and work on your tamper contest box! The village should have a variety of tools you can use to help defeat your box.

    We'll also have some take home kits of mechanical and adhesive seals if you want something to take home to practice on. If there's anything in particular you think we're missing please let me know here or via PM so that we can make the village better!

    See you all in the village at Defcon!

    Thank you to everyone who had a chance to stop by the Tamper-Evident Village this year! We hope you had fun learning about how these technologies work and how they can be attacked. We'll be back next year with more seals, more tools, and even less evidence of tampering! If you have any suggestions for next year please feel free to send them my way.

    Props:
    All the MFPs, Funsized, *K, Morfir, and Ruphos for all of their hard work staffing the village throughout the weekend.
    All the tamper contest team/participants for stepping up to the challenge and doing great on their contest boxes!
    Everyone who sat down and figured out how to tamper something without help from the staff : )

    Slops:
    Whoever managed to break the staff's wire cutters by completely shearing off one cutting blade :(
    Whoever stole one of our fancy signs on Sunday :(
    Me, for forgetting to return the vise to the generous soul who let us borrow it :(

      It was good sharing a space with you. HHV and TE go hand in hand. Yes the signs always get snagged on Sunday!
