Hello, Vesuvius here. I've never made a forums account except for this, so I had to wait the 24 hour flood protection out. Looking forward to seeing how far this challenge goes and seeing everyone in Vegas in a few weeks.

We'll try to provide (eg soldering irons) or make available for purchase (eg kits, lock picks (sold by others in the vendor area)) the tools you'll need.

The one notable exception: a computer. At least a browser and/or XMPP client to communicate with the Daemon, but some quests will involve more horsepower than that. You might want to have something you can boot on a USB stick or CD-ROM for commonly available tools *cough*kali*cough*, and maybe a Wifi interface capable of going into permiscuous mode, if learning/doing that sort of thing strikes your fancy. If not, don't worry about it.

I'll do another post in a new thread on this subject. There's a fair bit to cover.

The Daemon has an XMPP (Jabber) identity. You will communicate with it over XMPP. If you prefer to use your existing XMPP identity, you are welcome to do so. If you don't have one, or would rather not use it, we have a hosting service you're welcome to use (after the game too, if you want.) Our website will host an XMPP client that can be configured to talk to any XMPP server, but will be configured to talk to ours by default.

So, by default, if you go to our site (when it's live) and create an account, you'll be able to talk to the daemon directly without any outside requirements. If, for example, you'd rather use a native XMPP client on your phone for convenience, you'll be able to do that too.

(Assuming they don't rip the carpet out from under us between now and Defcon, Google Hangouts supports XMPP. So you'll be able to add the Daemon to your Hangouts contacts and use that if you want. But they've been threatening to turn off XMPP S2S for over a year now, so we aren't relying on this. Worst case, we can setup a Google specific identity for the Daemon to preserve this functionality.)

As for the work you'll be doing once you talk to the Daemon, that can get a lot more involved. Like I said in my previous post, I'll start a separate thread to discuss this.

Howdy. New here. I'll help with "stuff" - especially hardware.

DM l33tbunni and work with him on scheduling a time to be in the HHV to help with "especially hardware." Thanks! :-)
