The Wireless Village is founded on a simple premise: Learn + Touch = DO!
A number of exciting and fact-filled breakout sessions will be held in the Wireless Village during DefCOn. Some of these will be for skills needed by competitors in the Wireless Contest, while others will be just for the fun and learning experience. Besides, all the cool and popular kids will be there. If you want to be cool and popular too, then you need to be at the Wireless Village.
If you attend a breakout session that's tied to a mini-contest, you don't have to compete. But don't be surprised if you do want to compete and show off you new-found skills.
Learn + Touch = DO!
The schedule for the Breakout sessions is still being worked out, and will be posted when finalized. Breakout sessions that are tied to a Wireless mini-contest will be presented a minimum of one (1) hour before the associated contest.
Here are the breakout sessions so far:
WEP Cracking Breakout Session: "WEP Cracking 101"
Tied to Wireless Mini-Contest
WEP cracking is so...2002...or is it? This breakout session is especially designed for the newbies whose wireless ability is limited to using your neighbor's open access point! Whether you have never used wireless before (there might be a few of you) or just want to brush up on your skills, if you're interested in WEP cracking, then this breakout session is for you.
Don't fear if you've never heard of Shamir; by the end of this breakout your Wi-Foo will include Fluhrer and Mantin, too!
We'll start with a brief history of the 802.11x standards, including the development of WEP. We'll move on to its weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and discuss how to implement attacks. Finally, we'll demonstrate some basic WEP attacks.
================================================== ===================
Tiered Wireless Skills
Tied to Wireless Mini-Contest
This breakout will give you the basic knowledge and tactics to gain a deeper understanding of Wireless 802.11 uses and misuse. The breakout will take you from hidden SSID through WPA2 cracking as well as the out of the box tactics that are necessary to survive.
================================================== ===================
Direction Finding Breakout
Tied to Wireless Mini-Contest
Can you find a needle in a hay stack blindfolded while locked in a trunk? Or can you literally not find your ass with both hands? Either way, the fundamental skill of finding rogue access points to apply the IT cluebat is direction finding.
Even if you don't know anything about radio propagation or reflection, never fear. Things begin with a breakout session in the Wireless Village by Renderman, veteran of the Defcon wardriving contests, who will teach you everything you need to know or ever wanted to know (and some things you probably didn't want to know) about radio direction finding.
================================================== ===================
WPA Breakout
Tied to Wireless Mini-Contest
WPA may have replaced the bug ridden WEP as the defacto 'secure' standard for wireless but that doesn't meant that it doesn't have it's own problems. This breakout, run by RenderMan in the Wireless Village that will go over all you need to know. Even if you don't know what WPA stands for, by the end you'll know everything you need to audit WPA and WPA2 networks and recover weak passphrases with ease. Even if you know all about WPA, come by and bring a 40+GB USB hard drive and get a free copy of the Church of Fifi WPA hash tables and save yourself the download time.
================================================== ===================
RFID Breakout
Tied to Wireless Mini-Contest
If you don't know about much about RFID technology but are excited about it, the Wireless Village will be hosting an RFID breakout session. Participants will be shown how to construct an RFID "wand" -similar to the design in MAKE Magazine Issue 06. The session will be hosted by Thorn, who was the lead author of the book RFID Security* by Syngress Publishing. Parallax, Inc. has generously provided RFID reader and LCD display components for this breakout session.
================================================== ===================
More exciting Breakout Sessions are in the works, such as one on hacking wireless hand-held game consoles. These Breakouts will be announced here as we get them in. Stay tuned!
*Admittedly blatant plug.
