Defcon 2016

  • tmiley, sphinx, nospace, and stringy are back from Defcon.
  • Here are some tips they gave to anyone that wants to go to Defcon:
    • They highly recommended checking out the events and workshops.
    • A point tmiley made was to check the website in advance and see what things you want to check out.
    • Pre-registering for the workshops online is essential.
    • Recommended to not prioritize seeing talks, as you have many chances to see them at a later time.
    • If staying in the same hotel as the Defcon event, they could stream talks to their room.
  • They also have brought pictures and videos, which will be shared online soon.
    • If you want to see those, check the minutes or keep checking on IRC.
  • Overall, they all had a great time. There was talk about taking a group again next year, so keep it in mind for next year if you want to go!
