    It took me five minutes to find a browser I could use. This might not have been the very best choice you could have made. So far, it's only been IE 7 that was broken, but on three different machines (I don't have 6, and haven't installed 8).

        Works for FireFox 3.55. Fails on IE 8.

        Edit: TLS is enabled, but it appears that IE 8 only supports a key length of 128.

            Confirmed, same thing happens for me.
            A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

                        I'll turn off the DH requirement and watch logs to see if there are less errors.. if not I'll switch back on SSL 3.

                        So strange because TLS 1 has been around for almost a decade!

                            You are funny. Microsoft has been around much longer. Standards? Hah!

                            Thanks for fixing it, though.

                                Post Defcon 17 Wrap-up has not had new activity for 2-3 weeks. It has been closed for new posting.

                                It will be archived in 1 or 2 weeks to the past defcon content.

                                    User reported by email that https to defconpics.org doesn't work, but http to defconpics.orgdoes work. Changed https://pics.defcon.org/ banner link to defconpics from https to http. Fixed!

                                    Thanks user!

                                            defconpics isn't one of your servers. ;-)

                                            pics.defcon.org and forums are fine. It was the link to someone else's server that isn't working with https.

                                                Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change the link on the front page of the Defcon site for Twitter, either. It's currently https://twitter.com/_defcon_ and Twitter is rejecting the connection. You can log into twitter from https, but it really doesn't like links to pages via https. Just saying.

                                                        I checked with Neil and he said the link worked for him:

                                                        https://twitter.com/_defcon_

                                                        I just checked it, and it worked for me, too.

                                                        Transient problem? Does it work for you now?
