Volunteering at Defcon?

[wembley]

Here's a question for everyone... Where does one go to sign up to help do things like set up the network, prep for the con etc? I'm arriving one day early, so I've got the time...

Thanks for the offer. Actually we have a full staff of people that handle everything from building up the NOC, to deploying the nework, working registration, and providing security. Most of the time to avoid being caught short on people we make sure we have a full staff long before any of us touch down in Vegas. So, there probably isnt a lot at this stage we need help with. However, as they say, shit happens. Feel free to stop by and see if anyone needs help with anything, but for the most part, take that extra day to enjoy Vegas.

Or the Grand Canyon. Or Hoover Dam. Or any of a number of other sights within easy driving distance.

Okay I'll drop by and check it out. Of course, my idea of a good time involves... well... examining... yeah, that's it... various networks and systems. Who knows. I might rent a car and drive around or whatever.....

Of course, for DefCon 12, I'll make sure I'm available early!

P.S. Do you need to give your real name when registering for DC or can I register under my handle?

This year we will also be requesting a blood sample for DNA fingerprinting. Due to a lack of supplies this will be collected using a pencil and a dixie cup. Please bring your own band-aids and towels.

Last year they asked me some ID... I did't catched it, I was thinking they was joking... hum they was't... Hopefully TW came to the rescue!
They ask ID when you come from Blackhat to get your free entrance... To verify if your really who you think you are...

actually I heard on #dc-stuff that anyone who wants to volunteer needs to be standing by pool #1 if they want to help out...... :D

Oh yeah..and don't forget to have your laptop/pda/cellphone/radio/scanner with you because they'll come in handy for volunteering.
