Every year I miss DefCon and every year I have to listen to all the fun stories from people. While you guys got to play hacker and look at naked women I had to slave over hot, smelly gigabit IDSs in Seattle while eating stale bagels and drinking warm Diet Pepsi. I hope you catch a cold from all that fun. :-) Thanks for the mirror of the CD. That was most kind. It will make for some good airline reading while I go slave over some more hot servers in a big noisy data center in California.

We played an Immunix server in the Capture the Flag <http://www.ghettohackers.net/ctf/> games. We were white/"Weiss Labs", and finished 2nd of 8, just a smidge behind 1st. The Immunix server was never 0wned. Here's some press coverage <http://news.com.com/2100-1001-948404.html> and here's a detailed analysis <http://mail.wirex.com/pipermail/immunix-users/2002-August/000511.html> from our point of view. CtF gaming is pretty intense; we were nailed down to the game room from 10 am to 10 pm the entire time, and too tired to move the rest of the time, so we didn't see any of the rest of the con. I completely missed partaking of all the drinking and naked women :) Big thanks to Toby, who played for our team and was amazing.
