 So I got to tell you, this was an amazingly fast year for me. It feels like we just opened this and pen and teller and now we're sitting in a room across the hotel and I'm telling you goodbye. So I'm going to cry. Since we have so many more people in the room and I can actually sort of see everybody, can you raise your hand if this is your first year, please? Big hand for yourself. All right. For everyone else, I promise you we will try to make this as short and painless as possible. So in the interest of time savings, I am going to move on to my thank yous. My name is Russ and I am the acting chief of operations for the conference this year. Thank you, Banshee. It was actually an accident so I'd like to throw a shout out to our boy Lockheed. He had a family emergency so if I could get a round of applause for Lock. This is actually his first DEF CON to miss in 20 years. Yeah, so it's a pretty big deal. What? Oh sure, now you won't say anything. Chicken. All right. So first I want to say my voice is my passport. Thank you. Some people got it. All right. So we have a lot of people that make this conference happen. You know, if you've been here for any amount of time, you can remember back when we counted ourselves in hundreds or less and not in tens of thousands. So it takes a strong intelligent and proactive team to make this happen. So I can't mention all of the names so I'll apologize now but I do want to mention the people and the groups that make this happen. So from administration we've got Nikita, Neil, Romer, and we have Will and we also have Lost Boy. And so I'd like to get a round of applause for them. On the production team we've got Cheryl, Comf, and a whole slew of people that are running around making sure that the trash is emptied of all the crap you guys have thrown away and you guys throw some crazy stuff away. I'm not even going to list it. I don't know where you got some of this. So round of applause for production team, please. So for the rest of this I'm just going to kind of read everything off and we can applaud everyone at the end because I've got about 15 groups and I just realized it's going to take me about a half hour if we do it this way. Thank you. So for registration we've got Seastone and his team. For speaker ops we've got Agent X and his team. For swag we have Secret and his team. For the red shirts we have CJ, Flea and their team and I'd also like to shout out to Priest who's helped me on more than one occasion this weekend put out some fires. Contest we have Hackajar and Coleslaw. For villages and parties we have Grifter. For QM we have Major and we have Tom and I think there's actually a song about that. Yes. For radios we have Crossey. For dispatch we have Heather and her team. For the knock we have Effin and his team. For press we have Nicole and team. For vendors we have Wiseacre and all the people that help him out. I also want to thank HiWiz and the rest of his team for putting on a great DC 101 this year. And for everybody else I did not mention that is on staff I'd like to say thank you. For my first year to ever actually step up and be the man in the hot seat you made it incredibly easy. And most of all I want to thank every single one of you because we do this because we were in your seat once and we freaking love DEF CON. So thank you all for being here. All right I got one more item of business and I'm going to hand it off to DT. Where's Eddie Mice? All right so Eddie Mice did all the faces of death. How many of you saw our faces of death? Faces of DEF CON. All I have is water. Sorry. Aw. Have been sober all weekend for the most part. So he did a whole bunch of artwork. And they've gone through the trouble of having a whole ton of us sign this. And this was done under the guise of donating this to EFF or Hackers for Charity and Raising Funds. But actually what we've done is we've all signed this for Eddie as a thank you. And so if we could get a round of applause. I don't know what to say about that. You guys are all incredible Russ, DT everybody. Thank you so much. And so with that I'm going to hand it to the dark tangent. Yeah. Yeah I want to just echo what Russ has said. I mean this is a community, this is a team sport right up here. You just see some of the team players but we have about 300 volunteers not counting just attendees that do it themselves and make stuff happen. And somebody came up to me just before the start and he said you know what this is my third DEF CON and the first one I went to is I didn't know what to do and I was really kind of antisocial and the second one I started to get the vibe and said yesterday I was partying, I was dancing and my wallet fell out and I lost my wallet. And then an hour later a dude called me and returned it. And he's like this is the best community you know we've ever had. And so that's a super cool. Okay so it's a space to advance? Space to advance? Or the arrow. Arrow key to advance. Okay so that's the spirit we're really trying to build here. So a couple of things I just want to mention for next year. Hey that was me I was supposed to shoot those at you. So some statistics. This year I started a couple of years ago you guys might have noticed I did a media server. And this year it turned into an engineering problem. How do we get data to you so quickly that you're not downloading all con long. So we bought these big disk duplicators and we started what next year is going to be a data duplication village. And we served up 304 terabyte hard drives of data. And we could have done more but two of our disk duplicators failed. 3 percent failure on disks in the number one culprit seemed to be western digital green drives. So just be careful if you're using those. It might not last very long. I want to call up a couple of people that have run some services and let them step through some slides and let you know what's been going on. First up I want to get Effon ready. Where are you at Effon? Effon is the man for the DEF CON network that we all rely on and he's put together some statistics for us. So here we go. I'm sorry. We have a little tradition here at DEF CON. Some of you may be familiar with it. You know what we've been thanking first time speakers for the entire week. I think it's time we thank all you first time attendees. So DT and Russ, could you come up here? A shot for the first time attendees. Thank you so much. Hello DEF CON. Still alive? So let's do this really quick for the sake of time. We're going to make available the slides on DEF CON networking.org. There's a link at the end. So especially for the first timers, what do we do? Wired infrastructure. DCTV for the drunk ones and wireless for the hungover ones that are able to make to the floor. What's different from last year? We got more gigabits. So we did some upgrades. Thanks DT for doing some of most of this, right? So we got a new firewall with two gig interfaces and you can read all of this. The wireless gear, we got some new supervisor modules for the Aruba gear for the controller that we have. That way we saw the core and the media server that DT brought was really awesome. And you guys, he's going to talk more about that, right? So I'll leave for him. And the core switch as well. So for the first time we're going to actually see the network topology of DEF CON. This is the network topology. So the airplane is the network and you guys are around it, right? We have some good attendees and some not good ones. At the end of the day it's a freaking hacking call for us, right? So that's what we do for all week and tonight or today we feel kind of like this. But it sort of worked for the most part as far as we know. So some challenges that we usually have and they change every year. This year was again iOS devices with 8021X and certificates. That's why it took us a little while to put the Wi-Fi range server up there. Because we want to make it easier for you guys. I'll put some notes on the slides later. And there's never enough time, right? When as they night we plan to go to dinner and we're like, you know what? Dinner is going to be at the knock and we keep working. So that's how it is. During the conference some devices not really behaving like they should, unplug the APs and all the good stuff. Some of the stats that's what people like to see. So we have 120 megabits uplink to the internet. We I think reached about 100. So it's not too bad. But the internal amount of data that we transferred was way, way bigger than the past few years. So congratulations to you guys for using it. And we had like about 4300 devices registered. That doesn't mean much or doesn't mean anything. But it's good, right? It's a lot of stuff. Wi-Fi statistics specific to the wireless network. We have about 50 access points, 41 as access points, providing service and then 10 as air monitors. Just watching what you guys doing. And we get about an average of 600 users per hour doing con time. And attacks about 2000 per day. All different kinds of attacks. Oh, I know you can. Trust me. I'll go back to the Porsche slide. DCTV broadcasted the real rooms. How many of you watched? How many of you watched? Yeah. Pretty good. These are the drunk people. So one of the things that video man did, he played the Defcon documentary. And for the next year and the following years, if we get original content from you guys, we're going to be more than happy to play that. So keep that in mind for next year. This is the knock team. Not going to list everyone, but we have the old timers. We have four new noobs that helped with every single thing including getting drunk on the off hours on the three hours that we didn't work. And I want to thank everyone here. I want to thank DT, Will, who helped us a lot. Cheryl is always on every single email that we send to everyone. Caesar, Steph, Encore, you guys. The one random guy that shows up every year and drops some snacks for us and we're still alive. So that's good, right? And we get some feedback as well during the conference. And that some of them are very constructive. So here's how you get these slides later. Give me a day or two to put it there. And this is the email to send the feedback. And that's it. Thanks, everyone. Okay, this year we have a new contest that Long Time Goon Waz put on. And I'm going to introduce him. It was our TD Francis X hour film contest. And we're going to show you the winner. So Waz, take it away. Whoa. That person's had too much to drink. First off, it was a team effort. My buddy, I don't drive cars. Yes, that's his handle. I guess he doesn't drive cars. He wants everybody to know it, but he is supposed to be walking up here right now as well. So he's not here. Anyway, okay, so this is the first year of what we hope will be a multi-year project, the TD Francis X hour film contest. It is a five minute film contest this year. The attendees or the registration teams show up, register. They've got 48 hours to make a five minute film from the time that they register. This year's genre was science fiction. We had seven teams registered, four of them provided awesome, awesome entries. And we even had two celebrity judges. Crap, where are my glasses? I can't see. You want to plug in? All right. I'm going to plug in. So we had William Newbag, the signal, and Brian Nappenberger, who has directed the hacktivists, the internet zone boy, the Aaron Swartz story, which played this weekend. Right. So we, sorry. Where's the thing that I clicked? Okay, so great. And the winner is after we show you what? Okay, great. This is exactly this is exactly the way we researched. Rehearsed this. What are you trying to watch? I'm trying to, yeah, try turning it off and on again. You know, we never played. Okay. So here you read it. You get to read it. Okay, go ahead. The sound on our celebrity director who's going to announce the winner is messed up. So we're going to dub it. So you're playing a video? Yeah, my name is Brian Nappenberger and I'm a director, writer, director, recent blah, blah, blah. It's playing in the background still sign pot has got to be one of the greatest films of all time. It's going to go ahead. Oh, excellent. This year, 17 is the first time in TV, Francis likes how it was tough to choose a winner. There it is. Alright, I'm gonna start it back at the beginning. Hi, my name is Brian Nappenberger, and I'm a documentary writer and director. My recent films are we are each in the story of the hacktivists and the recent film, the Himmels own boy, the story of Mark Swartz. You know, cheap sci-fi has got to be one of the greatest film genres of all time. So it's pretty cool to see it alive and well here at DEF CON 22. This year, 17 set out to make films in the first ever TV Francis X hour film contest. And it was tough to choose a winner among the teams that competed. But one definitely stood out as representing the general mayhem, the incredibly high production values. And let's just say in depth, massively sophisticated special effects we've come to respect. The winner of this year's contest is the UberLab team with invasion of the booty. The winning team UberLab couldn't be, UberLab couldn't make it. They're at Detroit airport over right now. Everybody say bye. Sign up next year. Everybody sign up next year, please. It went really smoothly. We need I hack charities and didn't hack. Who was going to talk about this? Where are you still? Hey, what do I do now? Okay, do my thing. Okay. Hello DEF CON. Okay. Well, let's see. We're all having a good time now. You know, I've been involved in the fundraising here for some time and it just, do I have slides? Okay. Those are somebody else's numbers. Those are somebody else's numbers. Yeah. Anyway, I've been involved in this for a long time and you know, it continuously amazes me on our community here and how willing they all are to help and share with others. And whether it's returning a loss to all that are giving blood, you all continue to excel and exceed everyone's expectations in that area. And you really deserve a big hand for the wonderful things that you've done. And I'd like to talk about a couple things here. One of the donations to, there's many charities, large and small. And one of the, one of the charities this year was a hacker space called DenNet. And with the help of Mohawks, they raised $230 to help that space and we think that's great for them. Get them off the ground. Now, I know there's a long way from here but probably some of you know where Uganda is on the map. And it's a developing country. The people there need a lot of help. And back in 2007, John and Jen Long started an organization called Hackers for Charity. And they help non-profits with technology issues. They help them solve problems. They provide food. And working with lots of people, thousands of students are being trained by them on computers and computer education to really prepare them for the future. And the future is coming soon for them because Google is considered wiring the place, their capital city with fiber. So they're going to have the high speed access and they're trying to give them the skills. So money was raised for these people and like to recognize those contributors. One, Hacker Fortress, all you Hacker Fortress players out there, gamers for a good cause gave $45 in there. And then of course the Mohawks are outstanding. Mohawks have raised $1,820 for the cost. There's no doubt that Eddie Mayes is a pillar in our community. I guess that's the best I can put it. Because Eddie's raised $4,100 for the Hackers for Charity costs for them this year. That brings us to a total of $5965. But wait, that's not all. At the Hackers for Charity booth themselves with their t-shirts and all sorts of other good stuff, you guys really came out and they raised $27,604. Giving us a grand total of $33,569. Thank you, DEF CON. Thank you all. Now we're going to move on to EFF. They get a little bit more screen time since there's a lot of people that do stuff for them. So we'll start off with everybody else. Besides the big fundraiser, Hacker Fortress, $145. Mohawk Con, $3,660.76. It's pretty amazing. $4,220. These were not fully tallied yet. So there's more in there than that. Info booth, $928. Eddie, that's $4,100 for Eddie. Half of that that he raised went towards IAC charities. And DC Dark Net by selling the badges. Another $3,000. Is that right? Yep. And now we'll move on to one more event. So that's a subtotal of $15,933 for EFF. But wait, there's more. The summit at the door, we raised $19,633 $770. $2,579 in auction items. Cash, there was a lot of credit charged. $720 cash for raffle. $13,000 in VIP presales. $2,500 in general admission presales. At the credit cards, whether it was door auction or whatever else, $9,775 for a in-room total of $48,351. Plus, $4,000 for EFF. So that's plus the EFF booth raised another $10,000 while at that event. For a grand total of $58,000 raised just in four hours. So we want to point out that was a Thursday night party hosted by Vegas 2.0. Special thanks to all the staff that made this happen. It was a 10-year anniversary of that party. Up until now we raised $175,000 in the last nine years. So if you tack this extra $58,000 on that, you can do the math. We raised a metric-ass ton of money at this party over the last 10 years for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. So far we have a grand total of $64,284 plus their own booth donations of $58,711. So we broke last year's record of $100,000 by about $14,000. Thank you all very much for your contributions to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And here from the Electronic Frontier Foundation is Kurt Oppschol to receive you. To say thank you, thank you, thank you. It's so great to be back amongst this community here. Your support from the individuals who came up, become members to all the wonderful people who have found a creative and wonderful ways to raise money for us is the support from this community that really helps us keep going. And you're helping us defend the internet, defend the hacker community, and we can't thank you enough. So thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, blood code. You got to move faster than that. We're going to cut off your hugs. Hello, thank you very much. Oh, that's not the first time that's happened, but it's one of the best. Thank you. Thanks DevCon for once again being a great community and trying out and helping out with blood code. Got bad news. We only had 90 units this year. It's like there's no other way to put your foot around on that one. I do know that I've talked to DT recently and we're going to be creating a bleeding edge track next year where we're going to actually have volunteer speakers come out. We're going to have a screen for entertainment. It's going to be like interactive entertainment because you're going to bleed and you're going to see entertaining stuff. So I think this should work out for everybody. Yeah, you're going to learn while you bleed. So that should help. I'm not going to take up too much more of the time, but I think we need to, I think it's important. One, Julie, who couldn't be here, the one that runs the blood donation center, said that she actually had some people coming up, new timers that weren't familiar, like why are we having a blood code? Why are we having a blood drive? Who's this blood code person? What it's about. Isn't that over? And the key thing is, we're having a blood drive because it helps. Hackers aren't just about fixing computers. We're supposed to be fixing everything that we see wrong with something. And that's what it's about. It's trying to do something good. It's trying to show a positive impact. It's showing people that don't know maybe how to hack an airplane or hack something like that, but they're seeing this stuff out and they're seeing good things come out of this conference. And one of those things is they're helping other people that they're never going to see live by donating blood. And that's a beautiful thing. And that's one of the things that we should be showing our community and what we do. So thank you DEF CON for hosting that. Thank you for being so supportive. And thank you guys for actually bleeding for the calls. All right, hi, everybody. Over in the Crown Theater, kind of separate from all you crazy people, we ran Roots Asylum, which is a nonprofit where we're teaching kids age eight to 16 how to love being white hackers. This year we had 400 attendees, their kids and kids and their parents were there. So record number again. And what's a little different about the kids event besides that they're smaller and sweeter is that it's about 50% girls, which is really great to see. So what we try to do is bring in the most famous best hackers in the world to teach the kids. This year we had 30 presentations. Some of my favorite were Deviant and Howard taught the kids how to elevator hack. Thomas Cross, who's been here since DEF CON 1, taught all the kids how to break into lawful intercept machines. Charlie Miller taught us how to hack cars, render man, airplanes, Caesar, traffic control systems. Parisa, Princess of Security at Google actually donated 300 Chromebooks. So every single kid got a Chromebook and then she taught them how to poem them. I'm always looking for more kids speakers. So if you've got kids that have some amazing research, please have them reach out to us on the website Roots.org. This year we had two kids that presented. Esau actually taught all the kids how to do Metasploit. And Muffin Boy talked about white hat hacking. We also had six contests this year. One of them is now an official DEF CON contest. You'll get to hear more about that in a little bit from Chris, the Social Engineering Contest. We also had lock picking, name that PLC, code breaking, hacker jeopardy and land sniffing. It's pretty interesting. We have a lot of adults come over to the kids' sessions and try to hack their way in. Because I think who doesn't want to learn from Joe Brandt how to hardware hack, right? And so what we've done is we actually launched Roots TV. So if you can find us on YouTube and all of you here too can see what we've been up to. Thanks so much. Alright, just an interesting note. I wanted to tell you we kind of can compile the statistics of how much time we put into the show just on site. And if one person in the audience were to work full time as much time as all the staff on DEF CON work, you'd be working full time for four years just to make this happen. So I'd like to get Hackajar and Kulsal up here for the Black Badge events for contest. So for those of you who don't know, Black Badges get you into DEF CON for life. And we've done sort of a reboot this year for a couple of reasons. So contests that historically have gotten Black Badges aren't. And contests that haven't are. And so what we're doing is we're creating a Black Badge Hall of Fame where we're going back into our history because we realize like everything else, we're moving so quickly, we're not capturing our history very well. So we're going back and figuring out every person that's ever gotten a Black Badge, what team they're on, what they did it for. And we're kind of trying to create a Hall of Fame for them. And we're also trying to be better about the amount of effort you have to put into get a Black Badge. And so to keep everybody on their toes this year, no contest knew who was going to be a Black Badge event except for Capture the Flag. So for a lot of these people they didn't even know. And so the contests were working extra hard to try to make it challenging in a really good game. And so a lot of the teams really stepped up this year and made improvements with the added motivation. So Hackajar who watches over the contest is going to go through who the winners are this year. And we're going to introduce some of the teams that have earned a right to entry for life. So Hackajar. Thank you. All right, you know, Coastal and I have been working really hard all con long. Really, we not only have to make sure that the contests are a well-oiled machine, all the villages are going, all the nighttime events related to contests are going. But we also have to kind of spy on every single team and see are they really bringing it as contest organizers and are they really bringing it as contestants. So it was a lot of hard work between the two of us. I'm going to introduce the first contest team to come up. Which is black guy. All right, and before I introduce the first contest real quick, I would just like to say thank you to the FCC or FTC, excuse me, for coming out and doing the Zapping Rachel Contest. How many people raised your hands? Have you heard about that or participated? All right, for those of you who are not aware, the purpose of this contest was to help eliminate those annoying robocallers. So I, you know, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you FTC people. I think they're up front, so let's give them a hand real quick. It's nice to be working with the government for once, I will say that. All right, and without further ado, we're going to have the black badge. Devian, come on up. Hello, hello, hello. How many people came to the Lockpick Village, learned how to pick locks? How many people came to the DEF CON shoot and put a bunch of holes in things in the desert? All right, so they're both about physical penetration and the big contest that we ran this year is the black bag show. It is a break in, gather intelligence and break back out again kind of contest. Everyone who saw it, everyone who played it, everyone knows how much goes into it. You know it's really fun. You should all try it in the future. Follow the Twitter account that was in the program. It was really easy to qualify. We had five incredible finalists this year. In third place, we had Sexlut from Salt Lake, Utah. 120, sorry, 1,297 points, really excellent job. They did a fine job, a big applause for them. In second place, we had the Normative Deviants. I guess they were going to garner favor with me or something. That was 1,477 points because they were the only team to get this fed device called a hot plug to properly jack a computer out of the wall without turning it off and switch the power. Big hand for the Normative Deviants. But in first place, we had our German friends, the strange invaders, here they are, big hand. Over 1500 points, virtually every single objective, they did the fastest time, 6 minutes and 50 seconds. They were in and out, they were fricking rocking it and you guys are absolutely amazing, you're wonderful, and we have some wonderful things for you here. You got your locketrons, right? You also get this. Thank you so much, Deviant, and for everybody who hasn't been locked in, I can say it was as much fun as winning cannonball but half as illegal. So do lockpicking. Alright, up next we have Capture the Packet. How's it going everyone? So this year we did the packet hacking village. What did you guys think? So one of our events there was the capture the packet event and it was chosen to be a black badge again this year. We did some ridiculous stuff again. As Team Brodyo here, the first place winners, give them a hand. Right? Stego challenges for the final rounds after lots and lots of little rat holes all over the place. There was a picture of a key and they actually had to decode the pins on the key. So we kind of mixed in a little bit of stupidness but we want to congratulate them. This is a brand new MacBook Air and they're getting a black badge for it and then awesome, here we go. And then for Dark Tangent we have his packet hacking village staff badge. Excellent. Now I can go into the room. We did it. Locked out. But thank you everyone. We're glad that you all enjoyed the event. Thank you all much. All right. Let's keep this party going. Next up we have the DEF CON dark net project. Who wants a t-shirt? One of the last 36 limited edition t-shirts we got printed up for the crew this year. So enjoy that. The DEF CON dark net project was an MMO in real life that we set at DEF CON and instead of talking to some guy with a yellow question mark over your head who sends you on a quest to go get like 14 virginal rat scrotums or whatever. We send you on quests to go learn skills. Things like learn how to crack web, learn how to crack passwords, learn how to play the game. That's what the kids were for. That kind of stuff. It was a lot of fun. We had a fantastic response. We had over 330 people playing. 157 of them were actively playing. Before I do I want to thank my crew. Zero altitude, fish, crux, neon, spetku, Fletch, Bunny, Skyrea, Gator bite, so much. Probably the best part about this game is the diversity of the people who play the game. We have a lot of women and a lot of children who are playing this game. The whole point of it was to teach people starting at assuming zero knowledge and teach you how to do these things as opposed to seeing how neat you already are. So in that way it's kind of a unique game. I want to thank you. The third place with 4,788 points was Caspian. In second place with 590 points was Deviant Satan. Not to be confused with Deviant Olam. First place, the guy was crushing it. We were looking through the database to make sure he wasn't faking it. 650, 690 points was Silk. Best yet, we got $3,000 for the EFF. Thank you so much for buying all the kits. We will make more next year. Thank you very much. One more thing. The DC dark net is not just at DEF CON. You can play it online throughout the entire year. DCdark.net. Thanks. Next we have social engineering. Capture the flag. How many? Come on. Shirts. Are books too hard to throw? Anybody want a book? You said it wasn't too hard. Don't be a win. That was an epic fail. Okay. Book. Book. Excitement. First things first. I got to thank dark tangent because this year he turned the village into an actual DEF CON track. We had six or seven human-based speeches and it went awesome. You were lined up for 45 minutes outside. Thank you. It was recorded. Be on the DEF CON DVD. That's awesome. I got to mention the second place winners. Nico mentioned the thing for kids was an official DEF CON event. And then our SECTF second place winners was Broshel engineers. Broshel engineers? Broshel engineers. More pause than that. They got some cool SE stuff. Here's the cool story. I got a minute and 40 seconds. I'm going to talk fast. Stop telling me. The team that we had, we had tag teams. They had to go in the booth and what we had was the first team the guy got sick. And he couldn't make it. We yanked the guy out of the audience and said you're going to get in the booth and be this woman's partner and we're going to give you a half an hour to prepare. They won. They just beat him. Here's the best part. It's his wife. The best part is the black badge. That's going to be a fun ride home. I guarantee you. Thanks guys. We'll see you next year. All right. Next up is Open CTF. Hey guys. So my name is Sohan and I'm part of Vann. Vann ran Open CTF this year. And Open CTF is a Jeopardy style competition where challenges range from every single person in this conference can do it to a very, very hard challenge. So we had tons of people really excited about this and we were really sad that this didn't happen last year. So we put a bunch of time. We got at the contest together and we had so many people wanting to play we ran the competition on modems. So we had people coming in and soldering together modems just so they could play with us. So we had 31 teams compete and we had half a dozen countries represented in that. Let me just go ahead and read off the scores. So for third place we had an Australian team 4979 with 3700 points. We had a French team who their first time to DEF CON they played petite bite with 4200 points. And then our winning team Neg9, come on up guys with 4900 points. This is the backbone for all the telephone system using the competition. So thank you guys thank you very much and we welcome everyone to play open CTF next year. All right I assure you folks we're on the homestretch we're getting there. Another black badge contest event here is right here on stage Mr. Lost to talk about his contest. So those of you that saw the 1057 room on the conference floor and were wondering what that is if you wandered in 530 in the morning several nights you would have seen a number of people working furiously on the ciphers that are all throughout the conference. It was part of the badge challenge. How many of you by chance solved the lanyard cipher this year? A few. So if you take a look at your lanyards on the back of them there's a medieval numbering system complete with Chinese and Korean monikers to give you the pattern to make a lattice work of all eight individual unique lanyards that you needed to weave together to produce a solution that drove you to a website but it wasn't quite obvious that it was a website the clue was do not miss the point in curious codes driving you to the URL curious.codes and this is just an example of one of the many steps that the badge challenge took this year I'm humbled every year by the ingenuity and the intelligence of the people that make it all the way through the badge challenge it's a very difficult contest and it's very humbling to me to see this so the MLF guys can you come up here as quickly as you can because we're on a tight time run run run so these guys are the Muppet Liberation Front can you guys for like 30 seconds give a quick what it's like to go through this because I think a lot of the noobs don't have any clue what you guys went through to do this I can tell you we showed up on Wednesday evening and we just stopped it was a yesterday morning I'm not even sure on the days at this point but in three days to all nighters a bunch of guys in a room and our brains are still bleeding a little bit but we did it quick quick quick I mean anything that was difficult things you hate me for things we hate you for well we didn't sleep at all I was in a room with a bunch of people who were and yeah that's a shout out for everyone else who made us work as hard as we did we my teammates were up in the room and they were like can we go to sleep yet and I was like hell no we have people on our ass we're about to lose so thanks to everyone else who made us try as hard as we did we'll see you next year so interesting side note while I take it upon myself to not go to bed until they do so if they decide to continue to work I stay with them I got a gun right alongside all of them if you notice the code in the program this year and the weird numbers on the pages it actually decoded to a google voice number which I'll give to the audience and I'll tell you why in a second and that is 251 a secret which actually called a phone that I kept on my personal conference and from Wednesday on the phone has rung non stop so I have been getting hundreds and hundreds of google voice mail and I'm going to actually put them up on a website if anybody's interested to see what crazy ass things you guys say into a phone that you get a random number from a program at a hacker conference it's quite interesting some of the things that come through my wife was actually saying some of the things were just quite terrifying so congratulations on the marriage thank you so one last quick thing so while we were in the contest room and they were working on the batch challenge we didn't want to solve their shirts so our guys turned their guns on to that and we solved it in about 30 minutes so anyway, those of you that competed thank you very much, those of you who are new I encourage you to try your hand there's a varying level of difficulty for everything from ROT 13 all the way to OTPs and cryptologic puzzles to twist your mind so welcome to DEF CON and thank you very much for the teams that make the contest for me to see what it is, thank you last but certainly not least and this is I think one of the coolest things that happens at the entire conference we've got the capture the flag team legitimate business syndicate, come on up good evening, I'm Vito Genovese from legitimate business syndicate and we've just finished our second year of DEF CON capture the flag first, thanks to the DEF CON organizers the wonderful goons our friends and families and the global capture the flag community do not do this without your support and friendship as returning hosts we decided to step up our game with all new challenges a new processor architecture and new evil tricks the most visible change is the DEF CON capture the flag badge which includes an MSP 430 processor a 900 megahertz radio and a custom exploitable networked service called Badger we also had three ARM services and a service that switched from emulated 386 to ARM halfway through the game we apologize and you're welcome also knew this year was an attack visualizer on the screen behind us built by Hoju this led to the busiest capture the flag room ever we've had a few growing pains too a new scoring algorithm designed to keep teams from zeroing out to the bottom of the scoreboard resulted in teams zeroing out to the bottom of the scoreboard we also had hardware crashes that made life difficult for a few teams we have retabulated the scores to make sure this was handled in a fair way we know you have improved your capture the flag we know you we know how important your CTF time scores are so we've recalculated the scores to make it right we'll be posting details, source code and database dumps soon hi everybody I'm Guy Nefage from legitimate business syndicate all teams have received the odroid hardware that we hosted the game on this year so do not expect to see that next year we're stepping up our game even harder next year they've also each team also received one of the CTF badges to take home with them we will be releasing source code build materials and build sheets for this later on this year our team will receive eight black badges and eight leather jackets so without further ado I'd like to announce the winners in third place a newcomer to DEF CON CTF Dragon Sector I believe they are from Poland I believe they are from Poland in second place HITCON from Taiwan from Taiwan and in first place the champions PPP it's a fun time everyone should try to play it was a great contest see you guys next year thank you and have a good evening if you wonder what we do with all of your money we make cool podiums like this we have a surprise announcement to show the depth of commitment our attendees will go to come on up Joe Grand my name is Joe Grand no applause please this is we had an opportunity to turn a crazy dinner conversation into a fundraising event by permanently marking the skin of our fine Shaggy from 303 and what we ended up doing is Shaggy got a really crazy tattoo with my signature on it and a logo of the JTAGulator hardware hacking tool I made last year and some amazing art by Eddie Crypt paid for it so his signature is on there and besides being completely insane Shaggy was like well why don't we try to raise money for the EFF at the same time so instead of getting mohawks he decided to brand his skin with this amazing piece of art if you want to see it on your phone or computer or whatever go to at Joe Grand I live tweeted his event from was it last night already? if you want to see it in person you can come up here after the event Eddie's going to be standing with him he'll lift up his leg this fine piece of meat right there and you can throw a few bucks to Eddie which is all going to go to the EFF here's a sneak peek don't show too much sneak peek and come up take a look give some money to Eddie for a little final EFF fundraising thanks and this just shows the commitment people that are doing stuff for DEF CON and free EFF whatever you can do to make a change is appreciated so thanks I know I know thank you okay alrighty so there's been a lot of rumors floating around and while I can neither confirm nor deny I just want to let you know it's about that time to pack your bags no people didn't want to know people tweeting stuff out and so I'm going to confirm that those of you who have been speculating and twittering that we're moving to the Paris but like everything DEF CON it's not what it seems because we don't want to tell you ahead of time it's not that we don't trust you it's that we don't trust you it's so where we're at now the Rio has about 160,000 square feet of space and we don't know what happened this year I mean it went crazy like we filled up faster I mean we have projections and because we don't take pre-rej we just have to we do a lot of math and we look at what black hats doing and we try to guess but you guys came later than usual and you came in more numbers than usual and it totally screwed us up so we're worried that we're worried that 160 from going from 160 175,000 square feet oh the Rio is 175,000 the Paris is 140 that's not going to be enough so we've decided we're also going to take over ballies so if you combine if you combine both of the square feet we're going to go from about 175,000 to 315,000 square feet so it's sort of like this embarrassment of riches what do I do with 315,000 square feet but luckily I have you guys I've got the community so it's predictable we're going to have more villages more contests yes hardware hacking village will increase in size where how many of you people remember at the old Riviera we had those party spaces on the top floor yeah so we have the entire 26th floor of of ballies and we have like 6 banks of express elevators that only take us there so so you can expect to see parties and shit happening on the 26th floor so I just want to say that we will have plenty of space and we're going to do a lot of cool stuff that we've only been wanting to do over the last few years so on one hand we got lucky it was a big surge this year but next year we might actually have to close space off because we're not going to have enough stuff to fill it yeah I'm not so sure about that the other thing is you know those of you who are in registration lines that like sucked and were like out there and vortexing around the pool you know you've never done that before normally you did Friday normally by Friday evening you guys did halfway through Thursday so I don't know what happened the pattern changed and so next year we're going to have it's not even going to be funny we're going to have like registration everywhere like there's no way for you not to get registered would you like a little registration with that yeah so so expect more kinds of music more kinds of parties this year the variety of parties we had and spaces yeah who saw the crazy robot army that would dance to your hands so I love that stuff and with all this space next year we're just going to have more stuff to really showcase what we can do as a community so I'm really looking forward to it so we might end up working extra hard but it's going to really rock next year I'm going to give you guys the heads up to be ready for that and to make life a little easier for you guys it's going to be surrounded by other hotels and so it's easier to get to and so we've done a deal with the Paris ballies the people that own those hotels so we're going to have a bunch of space in the hotels around Paris ballies so the rooms are going to start at like $49 at night so finally we can get you out of your housing and so we're going to have Planet Hollywood Flemingo, the Quad Caesars in Paris and ballies with good rates so cool so before we shut it down and I call for a round of applause for everybody I just want to have everybody acknowledge the awesome work the hotel has done here and how good they've been a good home for us for so many years and it's sad to outgrow them so you got to move on you got to grow so let's give a big round of applause for the Rio they've been awesome ok so with that I'm going to officially call it to a close and I will see you at the bar thank you
