Hi
Does DefCon archive has problems?
I can't download links; I tried with lots of connections and got same result!
"Unable to establish SSL connection" is the problem and I'm seeing it for 4-5 days (before that it was OK)
It seems to be an SSL certification problem.

Jeff announced a recent change in ssl config on the forums after testing on the main site, in this post: https://forum.defcon.org/showthread....l=1#post128808
(It may be related.)

Attempting to visit this URL https://media.defcon.org/dc-20/defcon-20-program.pdf appears to duplicate some of the problems you describe. (Tested with several of the latest browsers using windows and linux.)

This has been reported to Jeff.

Thanks for the report!
-Cot

I get a 404 error on this, so maybe there are some dead links. I'll check it out!

The link is OK for me (and its last post is yours)
maybe some problem with URL hash, try this:

Much of the content that is available from archive is stored on "media" so the URL to try out: https://media.defcon.org/

Not the forum.defcon.org links.

Re: SSL problem with Defcon Archive files

I'm having the same problem when attempting to download any media archive materials (PDFs, videos, etc.) from media.defcon.org over HTTPS. Firefox throws "The connection was interrupted." I've tried from multiple IP addresses.

Also, defcon.org seems very slow to respond to most requests right now. It took me several attempts to successfully change my forum password.

Are the DC media archives mirrored on any other site besides defcon.org?

Thanks much.

Re: SSL problem with Defcon Archive files

Can you guys check again?

https://media.defcon.org/ just switched over to allow directory browsing, and some rules were adjusted to make that happen.

Works for me. Anyone else?

https://media.defcon.org/ works for me [Thanks]
(but links in https://www.defcon.org/html/links/dc...0-archive.html now return 404 & a redirect to https://media.defcon.org/)

It looks like the entire directory structure has changed on https://media.defcon.org/ to make many URL from the https://www.defcon.org/ pages to https://media.defcon.org/ generate 404.

https://media.defcon.org/ is fine, but there is no https://media.defcon.org/dc-20/ dir.

You'd probably be better off navigating from https://media.defcon.org/ to the content you want by dirs published until the 404 broken links are fixed on the main site.

I've not found some files like defcon-20-program.pdf or the receipt yet, but I see links to videos and other files including archives of the DEF CON CDs.

Re: SSL problem with Defcon Archive files

It's now working for me too with most of the files I've tried to download. However, I am getting an HTTP 403 Forbidden error when attempting to download some of the files. Here's a list of those I've found that throw a 403:

Thanks for the list. media.defcon.org is not a server I admin, so you will have to wait for DT to fix or assign it to someone else to fix. This is a "service outage" type of issue, so I sent him a message again about this 403 access error to files/filesystem.

Re: SSL problem with Defcon Archive files

I think I have found the problem, but to be sure can you re-run you script or whatever was able to generate that list for you? The few I checked are working now for me.
