 Hello everyone out there. I hope you can all hear us now because we're just going to wing it like a famous man said if it will do it live and welcome. We're a DEF CON201 out here and you probably, you know, before we start, there's probably something you should wonder about if someone can do it next slide. Next. Everyone, is someone alive with a pulse out there? There we go. There we go. So you're probably wondering who the F are So we're going to introduce all three of us. So first of all, the the voice here on this end is Side Pocket. I'm one of the co-founders of DEF CON201. I do most of the social media and event planning, including trying to prep for this wonderful nightmare that is the DEF CON groups village. I'm really impressed with everyone getting even as we're running. A bit of background about myself. I also, a long time, that time at GI Jack, I was through and I'm going to see that 2600. We're alumni. We're alumni. We're going to get into part of how we figured out we should make a DEF CON group here. I'm also a long-time person at Phone Losers of America. I've done active stuff with Yes Men. I am a tool member and if you want to see what my face looks like after doxing me, you can go check the Mr. Robot Season 3 premiere or the Jack Ryan premiere. I was the guest extra hacker on that show. So next slide with the man himself. This is gonna be fun. Hi, what's up? Hi everybody, I'm GI Jack. I'm actually a ex-willing cockatoo. I'm the other co-founder of DC201. Also a 2600 alumni. I'm not quite as long-term as Mr. Pocket over here. I do the infrastructure backend for DC201. I maintain all the servers. What you called? Well, I also got a high Ninja LS. It's a live LS based on the Arch Linux. We'll get into that in a minute. Get into that in a minute. I'm an avid motorcycle enthusiast and I do much, much, much more. If you have any more questions about me, you can always ask me sometime when I see and the answer may or may not be sarcastic. Next slide. Next slide. Next slide. There we go. So yeah, I'm the third guy. I just do things around here, you know. I can work. I designed our flyers and a few of our graphical assets. And yeah, that's generally where I am around here. Oh, and by the way, the awesome bird art, by the way, for each of us, is by a person on Twitter called Pockets. It's at underscore P-O-C-K-E-T-S-S. No relation. No relation. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Advanced slide. Did you know we just like adopting pets here? I love this. This is like being on FTL. There we go. So for all of you global people out there and even the United States, you're probably wondering what is in New Jersey and where are we? So a couple of factors we're going to yell out. New Jersey is one of the 13 colonies that were built against the American Revolution. Yes, we're located in that third-world nation that's in the United States. We're the home to many firsts. We're also home to the Jersey Shore, both the show and the place, and the Sopranos. Last the Grant slaves their freedom. We ourselves are located in Jersey City in Hudson County. So for those who don't know, Hudson County is if you look at the map on the screen, you should see friendly white families to the right of that. If it's colorblind, you know, it's red. It says well-to-do conservatives who I don't think are well-to-do anymore. Below that is hipsters. That's where Hudson County is. And yeah, does anyone have any more comments about New Jersey? So yeah, basically I came from Long Island. I can't really say anything. Like literally if he's from Long Island, he wasn't able to speak until he physically got to New Jersey. Pretty much. Various people's republic of New Jersey. What's it called? I don't know what to say. So next slide. Advance. Engage. What factors are it? So we're not quite done with New Jersey because, and trust me, we'll go by this really fast because we want to get into some questions hopefully from the audience. Something a lot of people don't know about in New Jersey is there's a lot of technological and just hacker AF stuff that's in our state. And we just thought we'd do a couple of highlights here. So first of all, way back, depending if you like the man or how most of us do now, we hate the man, Edison's original labs were located in Milleno Park and West Orange. These are all places in New Jersey by the way. They've been either converted into museums or moved to other states and been converted to museums because, you know, we're basically a New Jersey is a dumpster. You just pick stuff up and move them to other states. So you can thank particularly those labs for things like electricity, movies, things like that were directly invented there. Then a little bit later on, John von Neumann built what's known as the IAS machine, sometimes known as the von Neumann machine. You probably heard of a little guy known as Alan Turing. He's one of the people that conceptualized modern computing and also helped crack the indignant machine along with the Polish Cypher Bureau. He had a concept for what a computer, a computational machine that could actually remember and store memory. He's where we get the von Neumann architecture from. Yes, and Neumann, Neumann, yes, teamed up at the Institute of Advanced Studies in this SES pool that's known as Prince of New Jersey and defied, well, he stole basically $10 million, got yelled by the government, private industry and everything else and created the first machine that did functional third state memory. So it could actually remember stuff and recall things back. You say Princeton's a SES pool, but New Jersey's the SES pool. Well, no, it's just... Well, no, again, New Jersey is a pothole with potholes in it. It's great. And then basically around 1940s, Bell Lab kind of got sick of New York City and they decided to relocate with the finally like relocations in 1967 at Moray Hill. They actually opened up a ton of locations. Moray Hill is the current last resting place of Bell Labs. You can see the photo in the slide and it's now like Nokia Bell Labs. Nokia Bell Labs, for a time it was Novell, for a time it was Scow. Unix was invented there. Yeah, let's just say, in 1969, Unix was invented right here in New Jersey. There was a lot of stuff invented at Bell Labs. The first working transistors, solar panel, one of the first working CRT color displays was invented here in the state. Also the sea language, Unix. We can't display video, but there's a hilarious... If you go into YouTube and search Bell Labs, Unix, and I crap you not, there is a documentary that Bell Labs made called Unix Making Computers Easier to Use. So that's that. We're almost done. I don't quite know and I believe 201 was the first error code and if it's not, it's the first public. No, actually 201 is the first error code. Because in the old North American numbering plan. Even if it wasn't, we're claiming that. This is the reason why we specifically saw Rep 201 instead of 973 or anything else. In the old North American number plan, you can't use a number one. Right. The middle digit has to be a zero or a one. And the end digits can't be a zero or a one. So 201 is the lowest possible error code and that's what New Jersey got as the first error code. And number one. And just to know we said middle digit, he means the limer sequence of the phone number, not another common middle digit. That's basically hello in New Jersey. But through last quick things. That would be a one. Yes. Back in, at least it's not number four. At least it's not a number two, which is our government. But a few more quick points. Way back in, I believe it was 1990, the Secret Service actually set up a sting operation in Bergen County called Operation Cyber Snare where they launched in Bergen County, a BBS known as Cellio 5-1. And then 1995, the first, I think the first main BBS arrest happened with six people from all over the place. They were indicted under hacker handles. If you remember or hopefully try not to remember Geo Hoats, he hacked the iOS. He's more famous for being fracking the PlayStation 3 and then got sued over it. We did a panel about it. We're gonna explain that later. He actually is from Hackensack, New Jersey. And finally, if you remember, we were supposed to have a thing this year called Defcon China. That got canceled real fast. We, you know, cause Winnie the Pooh got canceled. But now it's that, so the partnership with Defcon China is a company called Baidu and basically it's China's Google. And what a lot of people that know about it is that Robin Lee, that's his actual name, in China, all the back end for their entire system, including their main search engine, cause they got the same start as Google being a search engine, was coded when he was working at IDD Information Services in New Jersey, which I remember correctly is in Newark. Oh wow. So yeah, so half of all of China's infrastructure is from code made in New Jersey. So that's that. Joy. Speaking of which. That's why they call us the People's Republic. Yep, let's get into actual DC201 stuff. Next slide, please. Kind sir. Kind person of non-descript gender, mineral or vegetable. There we go. So yeah, so for those you don't know, there have been three previous attempts to make a DC201 in the past. All of them miserably failed. The last one went from like 2011 and tapered off somewhere around 2013. You can use the way back machine to find out as someone just goes through our slides. We don't know why because that's actually one of the reasons why our Twitter's off because they have the original DEFCON 201 account on Twitter. And they moved to Georgia, which tells you a lot about them and we haven't heard from them ever since. So we had to take DEFCON 201 and J. Yep, and we don't know why their meeting's fizzled up, but we can make a guess because who actually wants to go to Paramus? Fucking Paramus. I guess there's something wrong with every part of the state. And not that I actually want to go to Paramus. Well, never mind. I mean, you've had experience trying to go to NYC, sorry, 2,600 meetings in New York. Yeah, I mean, it's like part of the state where it's hard to get through with public transportation. It's not like much there. It's just mostly like strip malls and kind of it's not really accessible as far as like meeting places go. So it wasn't really a good location to do like a group. So one of the reasons why I wanted to do this one was because I'm pretty sure Side Pocket had the same, we both had like the same idea at the same time. It's like, you know, like, oh, there's a lot of hackers from New Jersey. There's a lot of people who I could always meet in either, what's it called? You know, basically all meet in New York City, but no one ever wanted to do anything in New Jersey. So like, yeah, let's get me in the state because you might- We've also noticed because that's why we did the history lesson that New Jersey is hacker AF. But like, our theory is that there's a lot of people who are too afraid to come out and we don't blame them because kind of like with some of the NYC 2,600 groups and other organizations, sorry, the 2,600 groups and other organizations that there's a very huge corporate slant in New Jersey that is very off-putting, kind of the way corporates are. So we decided Effit do it live. Next slide, person. And then slide. I think we bored our audience there. There we go. So yeah, and then basically like Effit, let's make DEF CON 201 or DC 201. So our first meeting was in March 17, 2017. That's a mouthful. We just were kind of like, hey, we'll find a place, meet up, we'll talk some stuff, maybe we'll do a workshop. Maybe hopefully we'll have someone to do some speaking. And then back in March of this year, we actually celebrated our third beer anniversary. So we're like the longest lasting avid in New Jersey groups as far as we know. We've had some really amazing stuff. I'm really happy that we have a diverse mix of not only representation in terms of like ethnicities, you know, sex, backgrounds, color, but also just different types of hackers. We've had people who love lockpicking, biohacking, reverse engineering, forensics, knitting, just all sorts of anyone with a STEM background. One thing that I'm gonna hand to GI Jack a bit about is that I loved, and this was his idea, was when you do become a member, and we can deal with that in the Q&A section, we do have our own next cloud that's members only. Do you wanna talk a bit about that? At this point, I just don't wanna talk about it. It's infrastructure. Okay, so it's infrastructure. Next cloud is this great piece of software. It's one of the last for me. Asteroid. No, what's called, next cloud is great until it doesn't work. Yeah, we're actively looking for a good place. The Unix experience. Yeah, well it's basically, it's like the last piece of lamp software that people actually use. That's right, PHP, yep. Okay, so basically it's like a combination of it's those calendars, contacts. Basically it does like a group where, in the browser with a nice web interface with Web Dev, Card Dev, Cal Dev, it can sync up, you know, it has a plugin for email, has a plugin for maps, has a lot of interesting plugins, has a plugin for a library office online. So there's an HTML5 library office client, which runs as a Docker container that it follows information from. That will fill your computer after four days. Yeah, that sometimes actually works as well, like the rest of it. So when next cloud is working, it's pretty cool because it's, you know, if you wanna run your own cloud hosted calendar with like Web Dev, but it's still PHP. See, the way I like to describe it is like, it's like if it was all put together with dental amalgam. It's full of mercury, it tastes like shit, and generally is an unpleasant experience, but it's very necessary. Right, if you want to mount storage space, you can actually back end this directly to an S3 bucket and look like unlimited storage, it's kind of cool. Yep, and speaking of that, we met some truly amazing people, we're gonna do shots at the end, but we're really fortunate to have awesome speakers and people do workshops, such as Liz Fong-Jones, Night Owl, Mr. Blacksci for himself, and more. And speaking of that, we're gonna talk a little bit about how we sort of set up DEF CON DC201 here, so advanced next slide if someone can do that. Someone advanced the next slide, please, anyone that has blood, there we go. So speaking of transportation and bad infrastructure, we wanna let people know why you should actually travel in New Jersey and why DC601 should stop its pitching. We wanna make sure, one of our priorities when we were looking for locations was to make sure where we would be as accessible to everyone as much as possible, including the location itself. And that it's on the first floor because we've had that problem in the past. Yes, we'll get into that in a little bit. So we wanna make sure people who have any physical or mental disabilities should be able to enter in, we always put, if there's any sort of thing that might mentally, like harms, we call them trigger warnings, we always try to make sure to get those out there because trust me, it's New Jersey, we will get to those just by existing space. You know, we wanna be open to as many people as possible because hackers are an extremely diverse community. Yes, we wanna make an inclusive space in a state that is like the opposite end of the inclusive space. Well, it's like one of the reasons why I kind of formed this is because like, we always used to bitch that everything, we always used to bitch with everything in your mouth. We always used to bitch that everything in New Jersey kind of sucked. So we did a, we were like, why does it suck? It says there's nothing cool. So like, let's do something cool and try to like, turn this thing around. And try not to do like also like some of the mistakes we've seen other like meetings in the past that we're not gonna name names. And we also wanna make sure that, you know, that we have, which Sarah so actually did a bunch of is extensive documentation. So if you do have to take NJ Transit, the elusive nightmare you can actually get here. Yeah, at our current venue, I have listed at least four different ways to get there just by public transportation. And if you're driving and parking, I wouldn't recommend it in Jersey City, but I even have a parking space that you can park at. It's like $2 to park. And then you get a bus ticket and head on to DC 201. Yep. So speaking of that, just to hammer in the point next side, please volunteer. Advanced slide. So to kind of stick in that point, cause I'm gonna talk while the slide hopefully transitions here. That the reason why DC 610 stopped bitching is that no one wants to go to Pennsylvania. Our argument here is, do you see this picture on the screen? Love you, he's happy here. No, it's not hip hacker. It's Docker Eye. Yeah, so question to everyone in the audience. You see that picture right there? Is that a riot due to all of like the racial injustice and like COVID and stuff, or is that the Eagles winning? We rest our case. Next slide, please advance. Advanced slide. It's getting there. It's kind of like, this is like a telephone game. So as we said, we're just another group out of the many DEF CON groups that are across the nation around the world. And we have the same frustrations and pitfalls everyone else does, including probably the most difficult one that we still to some degree have struggles with, even though we really have no complaints about this, which is finding a venue, getting a space. And we agree with DEF CON groups that this needs to be an open space that doesn't have like a door charge fee, or that you can negotiate with the people there in order to meet around again, accessible. And I don't know if we're gonna name names here, but we just, we've gone through two other locations before our current one. Our first venue was like what you would think of when you're like, okay, let's have like a DEF CON, you know, a DEF CON groups meeting where it was a hacker space that had giant power tools and you know, a bunch of stuff there. The problem was is there was a lot of drama from that hacker space. And the final... It wasn't exactly in a good corner of Hoboken either. Yeah, you can probably make some guesses here, but I mean, that Hoboken's exactly a good corner in the first place, but... And the other thing about, which is our nail on the coffin is we'd have people show up with stuff and then their stuff would go missing during the meeting. Yeah, that was kind of a big no thanks kind of. And it wasn't any of our members either because we were very vigorous about that. So we decided to move again and our next venue was more physically accessible and the owner liked us, but we kind of got the vibe that the employees didn't. There was a lot of head butt clashing with like culture and timing and stuff. And so that wasn't working out either. Yeah. So like the second venue was nice because it was right on the subway, right on the path train. The problem was that we, while we were pretty much in with the owner of the place and they wanted to have cool hacker stuff going on there, the employees were kind of working against us. We'd noticed things were like messed up a little bit. And what was a final nail on the coffin was like when some of the employees just up and left without like cleaning up the restaurant. And it got to be a problem enough that we decided that we weren't gonna work with them on that. Well, basically to elaborate more, we got a complaint that, that like we somehow like messed up the restaurant even though we took pictures that night, it was completely clean and we didn't go anywhere. And cause they gave us the keys to lock it. That's how much the owner trusted us. And so our theory is that an employee messed up and they were like, oh, you know, no one likes hackers. We'll just blame it on the group that's there. Easy scapegoat. So just like Goldilocks, next slide, please. You know, we had to find a new location and we eventually we did. And I think we're pretty happy with it. They're called subculture. They're located on 260, if you add an extra, that's 2,600. New York Avenue in downtown Jersey City, New Jersey. It's about five blocks away from the current path train. And there's a lot of other avenues in order to get there as everyone beeps and unison behind us because it's Jersey City. They're a sandwich shop. They have really affordable food with a lot of different options. They have a huge like 60 plus inch projection screen that we do all of our like presentations and talks on kind of somewhat what we have virtually here. And they have multiple TVs, power plugs for all of like the devices stuff we'll bring in. The people who run it are really cool. They like us came out really in support of Black Lives Matter and a bunch of other things in the city. And we've had great, truly a great working relationship with them. That's not any BS. Like we're really shocked by that. Well, I think personally, it's really cool on the back but seriously sometimes helps with. And so has Jack is, they have a whole Raspberry Pi video game setup. They have like five games. Yeah. Just emulated retro games. We didn't make that. That was already there. Yeah. And I have to say something just a note on the affordable food bit. It's not like McDonald's cheap but it is good for what you get. Which is a big thing considering a lot of the places that people meet afterwards for like meetings in New York City and around Jersey City. They're often like dim dinky bars in the middle of like Midtown Manhattan where a simple burger is like $35. I don't fly with that. We're hackers. We're broke. We're not broke. We're hackers. We're hackers in the middle of New Jersey. Yeah. Do you have any comments you want to add on that? See you next time. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah. Just, it is a warning. It is the hipster district. So, I mean, well, I would say the district is but like the venue isn't, they're very down to earth. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they attract hipsters just by proximity, I guess. Yeah. Plus we're out of Hoboken and none of us ever want to go. So, next slide. So we can get rid of the watch of Hoboken out of our mouths. Yeah. So we're going to talk a bit about how we sort of, okay, now that we had a venue, what do we do next? The big one is get the word out. There's a classic saying that I hate which is if you build a bigger mousetrap, they will come. That is an effing lie. A lot of you guys know who make hardware and software projects. You often probably put stuff on GitHub and there's kind of that meme where you can get like 5,000 followers on Twitter but you get someone to actually follow your GitHub and that's like an Olympic event. Or worse, contribute to it. Make one pull request. Yes. So, the thing about it is like, you know, you have to get the word out there. You have to do that thing that hackers have a hard time doing a lot of times which is the socials. You have to, basically if you're a hacker group, you're an anti, you're a social group for anti-social people. So, the way we had to get the word out is we had to do extensive social media presence. I will say that we are all lucky where whether for good or for worse, when I was on Twitter, I had a following, G.I. Jack, I would say has followings or zombies or minions or something, Sarah Sells. I got some in our collection of Riddos and bots. Yeah. And Sarah Sells known for her work and a lot of other people who are on stream right now are known for that. So, we did have the advantage of a lot of people migrating over to our social media stuff but that didn't, you know, excuse that. We had to make a meetup.com and now we currently pay for it. Like, even if you have a world-class team of hackers, like in every corner of Hackardom pretty much, you're not gonna be, you know, outright getting followers to your, DefCon group unless you actually put in the work to make it visible. And part of that is, you know, even when you have all your social media stuff together, you need to have something that, you know, as they said in the Big Lebowski ties of the room together. So, we've gone through multiple versions in the website. The first version is something, the first and third version was stuff I had to spin up just to have it. The second version, all I'll say about it is when the person designing the website, when you ask them to put the link to the email on the main page and they say, oh, I didn't think, I don't think that's like a main feature or a priority feature. That person's no longer in charge of the website anymore. So, instead we gave it to Sarah Selle and everything's magic. Yeah, no, the one thing I have to say is visual, like, synchronicity, you know, make sure that everything is readable, accessible, everything's clear, other information is in the site on the page. The front page has the most important information including contact information. That's something our previous website editor liked. And the big one is that we also make sure that, like, there's nothing tracking, there's no plugins, it doesn't use any scripting. No JavaScript, no bots, no trackers, no one pixel dots. And yeah, the worst thing I'll do is a few CSS animations, tops, and that's plain CSS. And if your browser has those turned off or disabled, usually for accessibility reasons, it'll just gracefully fall back. One of the quick features of Insulator is where Big Ben kissed up on the band and also keep it simple, stupid. Well, he did speak for himself on the band. But well, you know, New Jersey parking lot people, speaking as the state. Now, and then the big one here is we also tried to do a balance of popular platforms versus ethical platforms. What I mean by that is, like, we have a Facebook, we have a Twitter because everyone's on there. But that doesn't mean you can't have, for example, a Macedon or something in the Fediverse or an independent blog or Onion that we run with you to have an Onion landing page. And that's honestly something that I admire about this group and something that a lot of more free culture-minded, open-source-minded groups could probably, uh, yeah. The Zoom height. It's stuck in my throat. Anyway, it's something they could learn about. Go to the platforms that people are on. Go to where the people are. I mean, even if it's actually Facebook, you know, it's run by a lizard king who lies to Congress through his teeth. Doesn't matter, the people are there. It's teeth? Oh, maybe he doesn't. His gills. But real quick, yeah, and that's a whole, because we're gonna go to the next thing in a bit, that's where I just lost my train of thought real quick on do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, okay. So we're gonna go to the next train of thought there. But yeah, and that also, if you're on a popular platform, you know, we talk about our, like, Massound and stuff, we let people know about that. So that's right where we've moved people over to, like, potentially better stuff. And then the last thing, which is big, is that we also are very local. So despite, you know, hackers and digital stuff before COVID, and we'll get to that in a second, we do make self-designed flyers, we print them out, I go everywhere and hang them up so that, you know, whether you're at a library or a bar or something, you know, we basically paint the town black and white with all these flyers, you know? We, I designed the flyers to be instantly noticeable and readable from a distance. So you'd see them hanging on the side of a bulletin board from the street, and you'd see, oh, that's a DEF CON 201 flyer. Or you'd think, oh, that's an interesting flyer. I wanna see what it is. Cause it just has just the right balance of information and white space. So I'm gonna do the next slide and then hand this off to G.I. Jack. So next slide, please. We are poking you with the pointer to change this. There we go. There we go. You wanna read our, what we're about? We are an open tech, hashtag calls. We are an open technology group. We welcome all, we welcome regardless of background and skill and in person, doing instead of talking, helping each other learn and grow and give back to the community. So it's just basically, we encourage everyone to show up. I don't think there's many too many people in this scene anymore. They're kind of like the elite, you eat kind of like bad ass types, or wanna be bad ass types. So I don't really think that's like too much of an issue in this scene anymore. I'm like 30 years ago. So- Five years ago. Yeah. But it's just basically, if you just want to call up tech problems, we do a lot of presentations. We like having speakers, we get speakers a lot of times. We do get like the type of speakers who actually do talk set cons, like actual big cons. So it's like, we've really established ourselves as kind of like a minor league talk circuit, which I think is kind of cool. We bring a lot of things to be able to do. We love big cons. We have weird ideas in the projects. And that bit with, and the big thing, which I feel lacks the end and should be a drive for all DEF CON groups out there is giving back to the community. We just don't want to, this is where we get the corporatism from. We don't want to exist in a vacuum and just be like, oh, we'll just hand 50 kids like some high-end laptops and then call it a day and everyone else is struggling, hungry, broke. Everything is broken and all of that. So our whole thing is we reach out to our city. We actually have good contacts with like the government or city and local representatives. We talk with the mayor even. Like we're on that level where we're actively working with our city government, our local government, and not in the way that most hackers work with government or against, rather, but more that we're working on more progressive programs and policies for technology, advancement, and education. Yep, and also, again, when you said, there's some things we don't like about the government, including the federal government, but what we want to do is, it's just one thing to constantly complain. It's another thing of, okay, you have a list of problems. You're a hacker. What are you going to do about it? And that's the key. We do something about it and that should be the strive for every group. So next slide. I think Jack can probably take this one real quick. Next slide, please. Where are my two-thirds of the way there? Okay, so you can check this out. We have a constitution. We are a group that you, what's it called, if you hang out long enough, if you have to join, it's just kind of, it's like a bit of a formality. We do keep a member list. Part of the constitution is a code of conduct. Okay, whose idea was it to put that on the slide L-O-L. Where? Where's L-O-L? Oh, the giant, C-O-C. Right, right, yeah. What do you think about that on there? It's our code of conduct. Yeah, okay. You know what, keep your mind out of the cutter, man. Gosh. We're already in New Jersey. We're already in the gutter. You don't have to. You don't have to just work. Next slide, please. So it's basically an outlines kind of everything, which isn't acceptable. Just play with that, just don't be an asshole, don't be a dick. Don't disparage anybody else. You're not cool for doing it. So electronic frontier alliance. I'll take this part. See, one of the things that we did, I don't know if we were the first group or one of the first groups of children called the Electronic Frontier Alliance, and yes, I know it's missed out. Someone's keyboard, it was made as a drunk, or I was drunk, aka, pebcat, fight me. So the Electronic Frontier Alliance is a subsection of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Their grassroots, as my ride shows up in the background, is a grassroots network of community and campus organizations across the United States. Basically, they allow their terms, kind of agree with a lot of our bulletin points that we talked about earlier where they want to promote privacy and surveillance and security at a local level for real people who actually need to use it. So yeah. They're good people, work with them, fight fear of rights online. And if you're a DEF CON organization or an organization you want to join and look over that, you can go to eff.org slash fight. So next slide, please. I'm surprised they haven't kicked us off here. So, one of the big things that we, particularly we're trying to do this year is conventions and gatherings. So just a bit of highlights of what we do outside of the meetings. Sometimes we have a little specialty outside. It's like we've had a little code, like everyone gets together and there's a code hackathon or whatever. In 2018 and 2019, we worked with the Liberty Science Center. It's like a giant interactive science museum that's world famous. They put on what's called an NJ Makers Day. It's a thing that happens in New Jersey where all the different libraries and stuff do like making and crafting and things like that. And Liberty Science Center never did one. We didn't have one in our area. So we did it and a lot of people showed up, a lot more people than we thought and we lost a lot of sleep on that. But it was really fun. We really got to showcase a lot of local like, you know, makers and tool was there for the lock picking. It was really great. And then you went to the, was it the wellness convention? Yeah. So the New Jersey Performing Arts Center had hosted a small group of local wellness oriented folks who were, it was mostly things geared towards like diet, exercise, health and things like that. But Def Con Tour one was there and you might think hacking is an exercise. Oh yeah. You might think, okay, what does hacking have anything to do with your health and things? But it's actually quite a bit. A lot of it's draining your health. It's an exercise in frustration. Right, but so basically, I was there to talk about digital hygiene and how your, the things you put online can actually affect your health based on, you know, the effects that has on your mental wellbeing, your social wellbeing, your emotional wellbeing and your spiritual wellbeing. So we pretty much packaged all that together and a bunch of advice sheets out to basically teach people on how to be more aware of things like that. And that's a big thing because we, because that's what she said, but now is that we love Def Con and we like hacker conventions and gatherings, but we also again want to make sure we reach people. So we have to step outside of our comfort zone and try other venues and topics that you would never normally see hacker stuff. And that's how you get really interesting people. So like health things because being doxxed is not healthy. Nope. And neither is trying to program and rust. And then we were at the Hack, speaking of hack conventions, we were at this amazing one called Hackers Next Door by the Tech Learning Collective back in December, which was basically kind of like a more extreme anarchist version of hope for two days. It was really fun. Jackie, okay. And then the last thing we did, which is eight million years ago and what was known as February, 2020 was myself rich side pocket, Sarah Sell and an awesome dude who has a show on our live streams called End Commander. We went to PAX East, which is a major video game convention at Blaston and in Beantown, trying to avoid crazy drivers. And we put on a panel about video game hacking, which maxed out like the 600 person limit there. And it was frustrating because it's us putting things together, but it was really, really fun and we let some amazing people there. Next slide, please. So we plan on doing a lot more of this type of stuff in 2020. And yeah, yeah. So COVID-19 happened or 2020, the dumpster fire that keeps on burning. So quick bullet points, if you aren't aware, one, we're in hell. Two, how the F did New Jersey become the stable state? Thank you, Murphy. Murphy's our governor. We're doing pretty good over here compared to like every other state, honestly. Like it's not that we don't have any issues up here. It's just, we literally look on Twitter in the news and crap ourselves with all the rest of the stuff going on. That's the Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Florida. We're releasing so many states that need to quarantine when you visit New Jersey that we might as well just blockade the rest of the union. Yeah, except maybe New York because they're kind of doing things okay. Also we need the economy or whatever left of it. So they also, just to note, the US federal government has a Gestapo now. So we are all crapping our pants, which is why we've been on a big privacy and security one. Like just Trump secret police and shit. Yeah, real scary things going on. And this is not tinfoil stuff. Ironically the tinfoil, people think this is the tinfoil stuff that's happening right in front of their face that they'll figure. And we're kind of embracing the fact that we, like I said, we're a third world country with money and now we're losing the first world money next slide. So because of all of that happening. Next slide, please. Yep, we like many other groups had to do virtualization. So in March, we had a big giant third year anniversary plan where we're going to have parties and games and blackjack and hookers and everything. And then COVID-19 happened. So within the course of literally two days, we had to completely virtualize our entire meetup and we've been doing those ever since. The way we do it is we use, how did we do it? We use a service called Restream IO, which allows us to send to one RPM broadcast. And it sends those signals out to multiple different streams. We're currently on Twitch, D-Live and YouTube, RIP, Mixer, LLL, Microsoft. Because none of us want to go to Facebook gaming. We're not gaming or Facebook. So that's how we broadcast this stuff out. And we also, which I'm currently working on, archiving our content on YouTube, the Inner Archive, our own, a cool instance of PeerTube. And that should say D-Tube. I accidentally put D-Live again, because again, PEDCAC. And we've increased our social media footprint to the point where we were sick and tired of just using these streams only for once a month. So instead we were like, hey, let's become our own TV channel and just host the stuff that we've been itching to teach. So as you can see in the picture here, which I'm gonna get into, I have my own show called Masters of the Locking. I also have another show called Crypto Barons, which is teaching actual technology on cryptocurrency, not like snake oil stuff and market bull crap. You can go to Hoboken if you want that stuff. GI Jack has a show about Arch Linux and video games, right? I have a show called Arch Vile, where I play video games on Arch Linux. And I do, I show like kind of like more of the technical stuff of how do you actually get everything running on Arch Linux. And I do, you know, a little bit, like a little bit of hacking, not much, some, some white stuff. I show, show, show a few tools. They recently he, he decided that, that Doom, Ultimate Doom on, on a Ultra Nightmare mode was too, too easy. So he did the actual hard mode you could do on Doom and unbox and configure to PinePhone. Yeah, I was trying not, I don't want to talk about that. I was trying to avoid talking about that. That's, that's the trigger warning there. You can see the episode, it's archived. Where's Arch, what's End Commander, who also does a bi-weekly show called Control Hack, you know, hack, I'll open it. I'll hack End Commander. And we miss him to death here. He's pulling his hair out just thinking about the PinePhone and kind of fun to touch. And I still want to try the PinePhone. That's what she said, but real quick, and then at one point, at one point, here you go, happy birthday. And what we're saying here is that we also made, which you can find on our blog, if you go to defconn21.org, click news. We made a blog about what hackers could do during COVID-19, including running Folding at Home, which Jack blew two GPUs on to run our Folding at Home. I unfortunately forgot our Folding at Home team number. Does anyone know it offhand? Or I'm an idiot, for while I'm talking about it. And we also teamed up with Thug Crowd and the EFF to kind of do privacy and security streams during like the Black Lives Matter protests and we've attended, I won't say who, but we've attended our local Black Lives Matter protests in Jersey City. It was real fun. So until they figure that out, next slide please. We're near the end here, don't worry guys. Light at the end of the tunnel. So we want to quickly go into all, we have three of us here as we're looking at the PinePhone like cavemen discovering fire for the first time. Okay, what was that, the, what was that Amazon phone so long ago they made? Oh. A FireOS or something we should be. So we wanted to go into each what like, some of our specialties are just the three of us here. We have a lot of amazing members, but just while we're here, so I'm gonna go first. Hi, it is me, Side Pocket. I've been friends with people at the open organization, The Lock Pickers for many, many years. One of my mentors is the Knight Owl who I absolutely love. You can check him out on Twitter at NITE0WL and basically three years ago I showed up to a tool in New Jersey and they have their own meetings. You can actually, their tool's doing a whole workshop all of DEF CON. I believe they have their own live stream. I think it's T-O-O-O-L Live, that's tool with three O's on Twitch. And we, what do you call it? So I went there and I learned how to pick locks. So basically, there were some issues where we tried to get a certain lock picker who is now no longer invited to anything because he's a massive hacker fail. To show up to stop it, and when I started going to cool meetings both in New Jersey with the same training kit because they needed the resources and then after losing my mind with COVID I decided to make my own show called Master of Unlocking. The picture that you see there, there's even more stuff added to it so it's even bigger now, which is what all women like to hear. And some men, I do appreciate them too. Pansexuals in the house, whoop whoop. So yeah, so we keep adding stuff. I actually just recently finished a whole lot of tubular lock set for next Sunday during the Master of Unlocking which I call the show because in-joke to Resident Evil and eventually it's going to be two cases. Actually, if you guys could hold the mic for half a second, I actually want to do this real quick because I forgot to. All right. Just do me a favor with the pipeline is when you get fun, just hit it back to me so I can get more. That's the kick. That's how heavy lock sporting gets because as a guy named Hunter S. Thompson says when you start a serious lock sport collection you tend to lose count on where it's going. So that's what kind of I do. And if you can do next slide, now we're going to get into some true lead hack stuff Arch Linux represent. The tourist lock picker Hunter S. Thompson. Yes, here's my project. Hold the mic to your face. Here's this project, Ninja OS. It's based on, it's a live OS. You can see, see the website is NinjaOS.org. Ooh, where are the future? What's it called? Design this cute little logo in Krita. It's a mostly inclusive desktop. It's got security. It's based on XSC4. That should be its tagline. Mostly inclusive desktop. What's it called? It's, you know, security tools. It's got privacy tools. It's got media tools. It's got recovery tools. In case you need to recover like a hard disk, it's got like test disk and like X4 on the Wii and like all that was called. So, Jack, what is it? No disc utility. And like all the usual like little hacker tools for like restoring or recovering data or restoring. So what you're saying is whoever uses NinjaOS is a giant tool. Whoever uses NinjaOS has a giant tool. Okay, so it mostly has like things like, you know, an ex-archiver, you know, support all the archive formats. If you double click on most things, it has a word processor. It has a calculator. It has a numeric, it has a spreadsheet. So like most common file types, it'll open. So it's like, you know, it's like a live OS. Like most like live OSs, it boots, it doesn't remember anything. It resets it itself every time it restarts. All changes are saved to RAM in like a RAM disk. So it's not trackable at the same time as all the other. Next slide, please. I thought we had, because the guy was rambling. But yeah, and we did this really fast. So I hope you have a sandwich taken away. Oh, yeah. Basically, I do a bunch of things. I'm making a video game. I'm designing a Linux operating system. I'm working on a port of Linux and other operating systems. Next slide, please. And a switch. I design and develop a community for, yeah, next slide, by the way. A community around 8-bit music for the Nintendo. And in addition to that, I also am working on a couple of programming languages, a web browser, a deduplicated file storage backend for retrievable file objects. So things like ROMs and things like that can be deduplicated. He's literally his own GNU server, except it actually works. Probably other things, too. If you're interested in any of this, get in touch with me at Twitter or whatever, at Syrosil. So next slide, please, because we're actually at the end here. So quick future plans for Defcon 201. We currently have submitted, again, outside of our Confort Zone to New York Comic Con in Exotica, which is this porno convention that happens in Edison, New Jersey. We're gonna be talking, we're gonna be talking about like sex workers' rights and sets the process. So cross your fingers, we get accepted. We hope to see you all at many conventions next year, including Defcon 20 and I hope 2020, RubyCon, the Returns, the, what do you call that, DerbyCon, Resorex, cats and dogs living together in Mass hysteria. We're also trying to organize with the city which got delayed due to COVID, Privacy and Security Week, that's city-wide, so in the way they have like a giant art festival city-wide, we wanna do like a city-wide thing for privacy and security. Again, we're reaching outside of our Confort Zone. You can see us at many conventions and places that you normally would not see hackers, including us, which we encourage everyone to do. And a very long term, we're linking up with some really awesome people throughout the state to try to make a B-side, what we call B-side's termpiker, first ever like truly real non-corporate, all-hacker made hacker con. We also wanna shout out there that we hate being the only New Jersey group right now. So if you want to make something, even if we're eight million miles away, reach out to us, we will help you especially with promotion. Also, if anyone's interested in a DEF CON group in Suffolk County, Long Island, I might be able to help you set up for DEF CON 631. So get in touch with me, and I have a couple of venues in mind and a meeting structure for that. So next slide, please. This is a slide where normally we take questions, but I'll quickly tell you where to contact us. You can find us on the DEF CON Discord, on the DEF CON Group Discord. We are on Twitter and Instagram and stuff like that. You can go to our website, DEF CON 201, and you can go to our email, info at DEF CON 201.org. Next slide, please. Final slide. So thank you all for going through this talk with us here. Again, our website is DEF CON 201.org. You can find us on Twitter at DEF CON 201 NJ. Here comes the giant hook to Yankees away. We're on Instagram and a bunch of stuff on DEF CON 201. You can find us at Macedon.

And Hally, Zoe, Brayderman, Tess. Hacker Planet, Dirty Jersey represent, I'm getting a drink at FU, your mother. Also, I'm the one with the pay phone there. Shut the mic, let's get out of here. Yeah, out of here. All right. Find us on the EFN trivia night. All right, we will be murdering trivia. Thank you for everyone for having us, and I see. Sorry, we're running a little late to the next presentation, we'll just take a minute. All right. All right, I wonder if you guys can hear me. Just clap if you can. All right, I'm seeing some hearts coming through. Okay, awesome.
