Past DEF CON Conference Content

[Dark Tangent]

After a little deeper inspection, here's the current tally per fresh feed pulls this morning:

--
Defcon RSS:

404 . 2004-Defcon_12-Todd_Moore-Cracking_Net2Phone.mp4
--
Video:

I'm showing success on that one.

404 . 2005_Blackhat_Vegas-V7-Barrall-Dewey-Plug_and_Root.mp4

Not sure where it went.. will have to re-encode.

404 . 2005_BlackHat_Vegas-V39-Mandia-Effective_Incident_Response.mp4
--
Audio:

404 . 2005_Blackhat_Vegas-V7-Barrall-Dewey-Plug_and_Root.mp3

The elusive V7..
I just copied and pasted the file name from the web log over itsself.. if that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will!

*404 . 2005_BlackHat_Vegas-V0-J_Moss_G_Louie-Welcome_Keynote.mp3

OK, fixed that.. will upload the new RSS soon.

* (2005_BlackHat_Vegas-V0-J_Moss_G_Louie-Welcome_Keynote.mp3) seems to have made it into my collection, so maybe it was previously working? .. but at the moment request returns 404.
comparing the two URLs suggests that the RSS link refers to '/Vegas2005/' instead of current location of '/bh-usa-05/'. This solution does not carry over to V7 (Barrall) though.
--

-Also of note, Barnaby Jack presentation truncates credentials at the end of the RSS description for both audio and video feeds

This does not yet include content verification (ie, issues like the Robert Morris video, someone else's talk named as another video file, etc). That's a whole other queue of enjoyment and popcorn frenzy.

OK:

V16 fixed.
V39 fixed.
V7 Looks ok to me..
V0 Looks ok too..

I'll check the error logs on the server and find out whats up with these last two..

Oh, and I fixed the Todd Moore .mp4 it was named incorrectly on the server.

I'll check them out..

finally done pulling video, starting audio and will reprocess video rss to make sure I got all the fixes you've made since I started. with my current log there are two hits for "\<404\ " .. but these may already have been addressed while I was waiting for the download...

--edit: I won't have specific RSS issues until I parse through the actual entries invidually... but:

Nightmare on my street

Wow, what a nightmare of fixes.

Little did I know I had a grip of problems with the feeds starting with wrong charset and ending with mal formed tags.

I've fixed up the audio feed, and I'm on to fixing the video feed.

--

OK, fixored them up, as well as fixing some problems with http://www.defcon.org/defconrss.xml

[converge]

sweet! starting to pull the videos, then followup with the audio. it seems like very few folks are opting for the audio when they can obtain the full thing.. but that may change when more broadly announced.. we'll see.

heh.. it seems like each advancing xml file has modified comments that require me to bone up the regex I'm using to pull the feeds... you devil you.

Dan Kaminsky and some Random CDATA just got cleaned up..

[Dark Tangent]

Need help testing some Black Hat rss entries.

Here are the links to the Black Hat USA '05 talks. I'm going to announce them real soon, and want a quick once over before they go out.

Thanks!

OK, I fixed two the of RSS problems.. waiting to get the Linton Wells audio working again. That should be the last problem. I'll be making the big announcements to mailing lists this Wed night I think.

(And there was much rejoicing)
Huzzah!

Good deal with the torrents. I'll probably join that later next week to help serve.

On the new Forums box front, the base system is almost installed and configured, and then it will be on to the applications..

but am working on a new forums machine

I fixed those up, but am working on a new forums machine. I'll put the updated files on-line tomorrow when I get back to the office.

We're having to re-encode the Linton Wells audo, so that will happen Monday as well.

woot! remaining RSS errors I see from the latest pull are:

video -

(dupe entry?) 404 . 2005_Defcon_V36-Preatoni, Ghioni-Assemetric_Digital_Warefare.mp4

mp3 in video feed . 2005_Defcon-V39-Dan_Kaminsky-Black_Ops_2005.mp3 (iirc the kaminsky video _was_ working in rev1 of the feed?.. I already had it in the original torrent)


audio -

404 . 2005_Defcon_Keynote-Linton-Wells.mp3 (still mia)

(dupe entry?) 404 . 2005_Defcon_V36-Preatoni, Ghioni-Assemetric_Digital_Warefare.mp3


Sam Thigpen entry has non-uniform description for video and audio sections.. I realize this is probably by design due to a lack of description.. but it still bugs me every time I run into it ;)

State of the Torrent Address:

http://defcon.lostboxen.net/forums/d....06.11.torrent
(current torrent for video, previous is now symlinked to this)

http://defcon.lostboxen.net/forums/d....06.11.torrent
(current torrent for audio, missing keynote)

http://defcon.lostboxen.net/forums/d...-patch.torrent
(patch torrent for video, for those that previously downloaded, gets you the content but not the automagically improved/uniform filenames of the new one)
