Reticulum offers a scalable, fully customizable, and secure-by-design off-grid mesh network, but the config can be confusing, hard to manage, and hard to share with beginners. RETCON allows you to package a pre-made Reticulum config into ready-to-roll Raspberry Pi images. And it auto-detects hardware to magically mesh upon deployment. Perfect for when you need a secure resilient mesh network yesterday, like maker fests, festivals, community networks, or right here at DEFCON.
In this talk I'll do a brief overview of some popular Mesh networking tech; Explain why, in my opinion, Reticulum has the most solid foundation for building real-world, resilient mesh networks, and how RETCON makes it so easy to configure and deploy a reticulum network that even your nontechnical friends and family can get meshed up! I'll show you how to flash a RETCON image on an SD card for a raspi, explore LXMF and nomadnet on the DEFCON retcon mesh, and there may even be a few free boards up for grabs.

Already have a reticulum node? Whether you'll be in vegas, or at home, you can join us on the DC33 RETCON mesh! Here are the connection interfaces we'll be using (in order of preference):
