After a poke from my friend Shady, I decided to book a last minute flight to join him in Las Vegas for DEFCON 16.
It’s going to be an eye-opener for me, with everything hackable under the sun put to the test; from botwars to lockpicking contests, warballooning (airborne surveillance baby!) to Spot the Fed, Phreaking to Eee PC mods, the list goes on.
I’m bringing my gear of course… and as you’ll see in the video, I’m packing really packing some heat! I’ll be reporting whatever I find interesting (might mean everything!) so stay tuned to this travelogue.
BTW: Here’s an exclusive look at this year’s hackable DEFCON conference badge It’s pure art.
