Forwarded from: The Dark Tangent <dtangent@private> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone, I want to make some announcements surrounding DEF CON 14. It's about that time to briefly lay down the inf0z, so here it goes. - - Speakers have been selected, and are now listed on-line: http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-14/dc-14-schedule.html They include an assistant Secretary of Defense, an FBI agent, Scary Hackers, privacy fanatics, security studs, and a hardware hacking ninja. - - The con hotel is sold out, but overflow exists here: http://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-14/dc-14-hotel.html - - Need a ride or got a room to spare? Check out the ride and room section of the DEF CON Forums https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=26 - - There are a lot of new contests, and some old ones that are no more (We'll miss you WiFi Shootout!) I'd mention them all, but it takes up too much space. To get a good grip on what is happening I'd suggest reading the contest area of the forums: https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=102 - - Black and White Ball is two nights this year, with some great bands and DJs including Regenerator, The Minibosses, DJ Jackalope, Catharsis and DJ Wintamute. - - DEF CON 13 Audio and Video is now on-line for DOWNLOAD. Yep, you saw that right. We are phasing out the real media server and going to download mode. The audio is in .mp3, and the video is in H.264 2-pass 192k .mp4, optimized for the iPod video screen size. Right now you gotta subscribe to the rss feed, but the web site will soon sport the direct links. We hope to have DC-12 on-line in the next week. http://www.defcon.org/defconrss.xml Notes: This year we are at a new hotel, the Rivera. I did this because DEF CON was going to stagnate and die if it stayed at the Alexis Park any longer. The benefits of the new hotel are that the speaking rooms are larger, there is air conditioning, and we have room to grow. This year we get about 1/2 the space, and next year we should get 3/4 of the space. That extra room will allow us to offer break out classes, get togethers, and an additional track of speaking. Things we could only dream of before, but now are possible. It will take us all a year or two to learn what to do with all the space, but those are the kinds of problems I can live with. Did I mention the sky boxes? General hang out site: http://forum.defcon.org/ Remember DEF CON is what you make of it, and we have been lucky over the years to have a great group of people supporting us. The line up this year looks great, and the rest is up to us. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQEVAwUBRKW+ow6+AoIwjTCUAQL0Sgf/QNO9SSsS0rI+cMbqX9TzKGk3+m+NyHj2 z0bB2WCAWftMT75HECyw88npvqTB01sdZaj8SeDqFq0ghD8dHq9NYEJZLqtqtEKz ry/2DKQhZe7gfhVWGtiYqAJF12yV4bPkKFhaD2bxFwY6GJx/OR00Ac5ylMC93/h6 GV7dx0IJfl6rDExQQ8asZXeGQ7j3a4Fnv6bvQp6C8OSc23ZpmGBGSeVzW1wHPn19 /EJyaBXnOcoVlG5gidgOwj8xkvkVthRAU7E0MS8JlhfrzRxBNFfHyqTfdYiSZ5mC GvI5Q+yeAHX7TeUrg9yWMuXvPtFjDsk3P0+x6yxZxO339ZCWHVBiEQ== =TYEC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________________ Attend the Black Hat Briefings and Training, Las Vegas July 29 - August 3 2,500+ international security experts from 40 nations, 10 tracks, no vendor pitches. www.blackhat.com
