 This is DEF CON 101. We've been doing this for quite a few years now. HiWiz started this a few years back. I've been assigned to carry it on. And basically what it is, is we're going to give you a little bit of information about DEF CON. We're going to tell you about, you know, the things that are going on. And then the panel, our lovely panel, is going to talk a little bit about their involvement with DEF CON, how they got involved initially, and then, you know, things that you can do to get yourself involved. Our panel just got prettier. Yes, and smarter. So just in case you weren't aware, everybody was a noob once. I was just talking to a guy named Ben back when Ryan asked us all to introduce ourselves. Ben's a noob. Ben's not afraid to say he's a noob. He's here because he wants to learn stuff. Everybody is still a noob. So this is something that you guys, nobody should ever feel like they're superior because they know some more. Because you don't know everything. Somebody knows more than you about something. That was it. That was just a little preachy. Welcome to Las Vegas. Pace yourselves, please. You are here for four days. Yeah, especially if you're Ryan. Because this is one of those things where, you know, I've been here, and I've seen a lot of people passed out, apparently. Shaggy saw somebody passed out in front of his door last night. You know, if you don't pace yourselves, you're going to do lots of really bad things. Hey there, priest. How you doing? Good, good. Yeah, I do. Yes, please. Thank you. Hi, everybody. Everybody remember me? So you all haven't seen a lot of me over the last couple of years. Because for the most part, you've all been very well behaved. For those of you who are new to DEF CON, I'm a priest. And I'm the guy you're going to see right before you see Hotel Security, the FBI. And I will be hopefully the guy keeping you out of jail. Or I'll be the guy helping you solve the problem. Which is why I'm here right now. There are some rumors floating around that someone has hacked the PBX here at Caesars. Or here at Valleys. First of all, they're false. Second of all, whoever is floating those rumors has really managed to piss off Caesars Entertainment. How many people here remember the Alexis Park? How many people here would like to go back to the Alexis Park? Okay. I remember one time in the Alexis Park we had this huge tent that had air conditioning in it. And two bright sparks decided to hack the air conditioning system in the tent. We're self-congratulating each other while saying, God, it's hot in here. The point being, if you want to have nice things, part of my language, don't fuck it up. Don't mess with Caesars. Because Caesars will mess with us back and we will go back to the Alexis Park. Or the Howard Johnson's by the airport. So, yeah. And how many people here stayed at a holiday in Express last night? Anybody? Okay, so nobody here is a lawyer. Or for that matter can play one on TV. The point being is, if any of you have the bright idea to key up with some cellular eavesdropping equipment or any other equipment, you are in violation of the United States Patriot Act. And when I said you will be seeing me before you see the FBI, you will be seeing me before you see the FBI. You don't want to see him. Because they will take you out. It's a very good choice, sir. Because they will take you out of here in handcuffs. Somebody did key up. Somebody is going out in handcuffs. So be smart about it. My kid now is 10 years old. And we just had a conversation. Yeah, thank you so much. He is actually starting to do on his own without knowing what they are, buffer overflows. And SQL injection attacks on some video games he likes to play. Where he's getting free services. We just had the daddy son discussion about how hacking good theft of service is bad. The theft of service is felony hacking and turning it in for the bug bounty good. And basically the same thing, not that you guys are 10 years old, but the same thing applies here. Please do not do something stupid. The last person who did something stupid threatened the life of the vice president and actually spent quite a bit of time in jail for it. And the FBI this year very much is looking for people to key up on the cell networks, on the wireless networks and everything else. Thank you. You don't want to meet this guy? Yeah, I'm putting the message out. This is the last message in our rush who have the stage. The point is I was asked to warn you about that. Please don't mess it up. We like it here. We want to be at Caesar's Palace next year. We want to be back here that you're after that. So please don't mess it up. Thanks guys. We're going to cover don't be an ass hat or a fucktard later on in this talk. For right now, fun fact. Among other things, prostitution is not legal. Here in Las Vegas, you've got to go someplace else. You see those people flipping their cards, trying to get you to meet an escort that doesn't look anything like the card. Trust me. I've seen this. All right. Stay hydrated. You are in the desert. Drink a lot of water. Try something with electrolytes. If you can find some Brando, drink that. What's that? It is wood. Yes. You can also try to strike a good balance of other things. It's fine if you want to go ahead and drink beer. That can't be the only thing you're drinking. Because remember, as much as you're putting in, you're putting out. Another fun fact. You can drink too much water. Hyponatremia. And it is water intoxication. So, again, strike a good balance. We have simple rules here for having a good time at DEF CON. You need to get at least three hours of sleep a night. Thank you very much. Practice what you preach. I have my own laugh track. Yes, exactly. Practice what? So Ryan told you all about the badges if you were here for the last talk. That's probably the week, right? Yeah. No. Three hours a night. We were up very late last night doing the badges. Some of the guys here were up much later than I was. So... You guys are still up. Three, yes. Some guys are still up. You? Yeah. Two. Eat at least two meals a day. The hotel actually has pretty good food down in the food court. It's relatively cheap. It's relatively good. DEF CON offers some different cafes. And they have improved the food significantly over the past few years. And they have also reduced the price. So there are lots of opportunities for you to eat. Please make sure that you do it. A, at least once per day. Honestly guys and girls, deodorant is your friend. I know that everybody's here. It is hanging out and you want to just spend time having a good time. I want you to know fun fact number three now. Mosquitoes are attracted to body odor. So, you know, I've seen some of the mosquitoes. There are mosquitoes here. They're big. They don't have West Nile. They don't have... Zeca. Zeca? Yeah? Here? Yeah. Oh, okay. There you go. So, every single one of you better wash yourselves good. Yes, with soap please. And apply deodorant. Do not apply cologne like it's armor. So, you know, just a word about your shirts. This goes for the guys. Underbelly? Not sexy. Abs are though. Yes, abs are sexy. Especially for you. I'm the choking gay on the panel. It's true. This is a diverse panel. We have our token. Right. Now, every year I hear all kinds of people talking about, they leave and they get the DEFCON crud. They spend a week sick as dogs. You don't get to go to work doing whatever. Fist your friends. Seriously. Fist them often. When you go to the bathroom. Not hard. No. No. Do not fist hard. If anyone needs any help, I'm over here. Wash your hands. Please, please, please. After the fist thing. And after peeing and after so many other things. Because another fun fact. Here's actually a pretty cool study. 2014 study revealed that fist bumps actually convey fewer germs. Like 90% fewer germs. So, just saying. Think about fisting. This is Dick. Notice. Dick is a hacker. You can tell he's a hacker because he has his middle finger extended and he has on a ski mask. We're going to go over ways that you cannot be a dick. We got some of the basics. Please hold doors for people. Don't even think that you're the only person that's walking through that door. Please check. And keep your head up. I had to tell a couple of people on my way over here, please lift your head out of your phone because you're not paying attention to where you're going. And it was actually kind of funny the other day. We were laughing. Somebody was saying how they had moves and it would have been awesome because they turned around and there was somebody right there and they almost crashed. So, please make sure that you pay attention. And if you're going to, you know, this is DEF CON. A lot of us only see each other once a year. If you're going to have that meeting, step to the side of the hallway. Please do not hold your family reunion in the middle of the hall. Our halls are narrow enough. Another fun fact. Who has downloaded the Hacker Tracker app? The Hacker Tracker app was created by an awesome chick, Whitney. And she works with us. And she has all the information in an app. You know, it makes it so much easier than carrying around your program. So, I would strongly suggest that you would have downloaded it before and come into the DEF CON network. All right, remember priest talk? Please do not be an ass hat. Don't ruin everybody's time. There are a lot of people here that are here to really have a good time and there is a lot of fun stuff. DEF CON offers a lot of fun stuff. There are parties. There are lots of different opportunities. As a matter of fact, please stick around. There's a party after this hosted by DEF CON and Duo Security. But if you're going to be an ass hat, if you're going to do the stuff... Oh, yeah, free beer. Right, yeah. Please stick around. There's going to be free beer. Probably should have led with that. But like priest was saying, you know, don't do stupid stuff. Don't throw things in the air, sir. You know, you don't want to... You could put an eye out. We don't want to have... Nobody else? Really? You could put an eye out? Nobody, nobody. You can heckle here. This is fine. But please don't heckle the other speakers. Everybody that's done this has done a lot of work. Some of the people up on the panel were actually CFP review board members. I hope that I'm not exposing anybody. But one of the things that we wanted to do is make sure that we're getting quality talks. People put a lot of effort into their talks. Just because you don't agree with something or you might know something, wait until they're done and talk to them afterwards, please. Here's something. Yes, you're seeing people for the first time. And it's awkward hug time. I would strongly suggest that you're going to ask. Ask before you just simply walk up and hug somebody. Otherwise, you get that church hug where you're like this in one hand or you know, got your arms in between or somebody's squeezing you and you've got a tyrannosaurus rex thing going on. So try and make sure that that's appropriate. Mike, I do have a question. Do you prefer the fisting or the free hugs or the free hugs and fisting? Fist me first, then hug me. All right. A word about phones and wireless. Again, you should have downloaded Hacker Tracker before coming here. And you heard, there are people apparently willing to screw around with the wireless and the phones. This is something that you really don't want to mess with. So my suggestion is make sure that you've got your wireless turned off. Just do the simple offset things that you would normally do if you were actually thinking about this and not trying to figure out how much beer you can get into your body by the end of the day. And it is a hacker convention. So expect to be in some sort of pictures. Somebody's going to take a picture because everybody's got a phone in their pocket. Everybody's phone has a camera. Everybody's taking pictures. Please don't be upset. If you see that somebody has taken your picture and you don't approve, just ask. Chances are they'll delete the picture for you. If they don't, you're welcome to talk to one of our sock goons. But most likely they're going to remind you that you're in a public place and anybody can take pictures. In fact, you're getting your picture taken pretty much every time you walk around in the casino. Not everything here is free. Some people, you know, they're walking around and they see stuff laying out. It's not free. It doesn't mean it's free just because it's laying out. Now, we will give you stuff. There will be stuff. There's going to be giveaways here. We've got special lanyards and we've got special nuke coins. A select few of you will get things. You'll get lots. So please ask before you assume that it's free. One of the things you want to make sure you're going to do when you're here, have a plan. Because a lot of these talks are going to fill up fast. And it's going to be really difficult, especially when we're spread out as we are. Where some talks are here in 101 and other talks are over in Paris. So please make sure that you take a minute, read your program, see what the structure is, and go ahead and... He asked for that hug. Go ahead and make sure that... Did you fist him? You know what's going on. You know how much time you have and where you need to go. And we do have the source of knowledge. Where are they located this year? The source of knowledge? Where can we sign up? Where can we sign up? So the source of knowledge is around somewhere. They'll have a big sign. Yeah. Oh, contest and events. Thank you very much, Shaggy. Source of knowledge is in contest and events. You can sign up. It's pretty cheap and you can get all of the videos. So in case you miss one, you can go back and you can watch it later. There are lots and lots of talks. We've already gone over the fact that we put a lot of effort into making sure that there are good talks for you and also the people that are speaking took the time to go through and make sure that they've got good quality stuff for you to check out and listen to and hopefully learn things. Hopefully you'll learn things in more time where you can absorb them rather than the 10 minutes that Loss took to explain his processor. Which was actually pretty interesting. Remember to look at... Also, how many of you know that we have what are called villages at DEFCON? Not very many of you. So villages are actually places where you can go and you can get hands-on experience. This is a list of the villages. Biohacking village, car hacking village, policy village, internet of things village, lockpick village, hacking village. There are sky talks up on the top of Indigo, correct? Tamper evident village and wireless village. These are places where if you're interested and you want to learn a little bit more about say lock picking or you want to learn how can I get that piece of tape off the back of my computer without somebody noticing that I've taken it off. You go to tamper evident and how to hack, how to lock, pick locks, how to do all of that stuff. So this is something that you will need to put yourself out there in order to get a better experience at DEFCON. We also contested events. We heard talked about it, they're here at Bally's, they're back in the convention center and there are 65 contested events. Way too many to list here but I want to go ahead and list a few that are highlights. What is your challenge? Yes, his many challenges. Apparently he had a challenge last night getting the badges together or anything. Capture the flag is also a challenge. Now this is going to be a challenge for you because the first time I came to DEFCON the first two years, that's how I got to DEFCON. I was, my company paid for me to attend and be part of the capture the flag. Choose your battles wisely. I spent 36 hours straight the first capture the flag. The second capture the flag was three days straight. So this is one of those things where it takes a long time, it's a lot of fun, you'll get a lot of experience. You put together a team, it's awesome but it also is going to take a lot of your time. This year back is the EFF Badge Hack pageant. If you don't know what that is, it is friggin hysterical and they have special sashes this year for the winners but you can check it out on facebook.com slash EFF. This is one of the areas where you can hack the contests. The whole point is to win a contest. And there are rules but all you have to do is stay within the rules. You don't have to follow them explicitly they just have to be followed and you can hack and if you can hack the contest you can win. Some of these contests actually lead you to what is called the Black Badge. The Black Badge is a badge that can get you into DEF CON for free, bless you, for life. Kind of a cool thing. You register, it's a special badge designed by Lost who's our celebrity so I'll keep pointing at him. Want to hear something about it? Yeah, please. Other than the folks that were at my talk earlier I'll give you guys a little tidbit about the Uber Badge this year. I'm here with a gentleman who is a professional special effects guy in Hollywood and the badge this year has a telescoping full articulated appendage. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Yeah, awkward. Anyway, there are different contests that are Black Badge contests every year so it pays to participate as many as you can. If you win awesome, there's a good possibility that you could get a Black Badge. Anybody know about demo labs or workshops? A few of you do. This is something that's Seth knows, he was on the board. Workshops are awesome because this is an opportunity to actually get training. DEF CON offers you free or near free training opportunities. They're about four hours each and the instructor provides whatever they need to provide and you either just pay for the parts or things like that. This isn't like Black Hat where it's $5,000. It's not like Sands where it's $5,000. This is DEF CON. You're going to get something. The community is going to provide you something and they're going to provide it to you for as little of a cost as possible. Demo labs also are an area where people can talk about whether it's tools that they've developed or be front end for some command line tool. Whatever it is demo labs offer you an opportunity to actually see some things in action and they're relatively quick 20 minute talks. One of the other areas we have, two areas actually, we have swag which is the official DEF CON gear. I highly recommend if you have not been to swag yet get in swag. It sells out fast. All of the official DEF CON stuff that's where you can find it. Now the vendor hall is actual vendors. One of the things that we try to do with vendors is we make sure that they have some sort of community support. They're not just a t-shirt provider or something like that. If you go to hacker stickers as an example you're going to be able to find something, they're going to help you. If you want to buy a lockpick set from hacker stickers, they're going to teach you how to use that lockpick set. Same thing with SiriPick now one that is actually pretty cool I'm wearing them right now. Gunners they provide eyewear that if you work in front of a computer or if you play a lot of video games the eyewear is awesome. It will help you with eye strain and your eyes will not get as tired quickly. So check out the different vendors. We've got a whole bunch of different ones. I do. I look at smashing in these. So Power 8 is not a part of this. Brought to you by Carl's Jr. There you go. Alright, this is awesome. Guys, this is Romer. Romer was the head vendor goon for more years, pretty much since the creation of time. Last time I spoke was it 101. Yeah. So one of the things that Lost really wanted to say he just skipped right over that part. Lost tried to say during his talk and I'm trying to say here is you need to reach out. Now I'm going to go ahead and borrow from Lost. I'm going to take about 30 seconds. I would like you to turn to your neighbor and introduce yourself. Seriously. Alright, that's a little more than 30 seconds but I'm pretty happy that this started that much conversation. Guys. Guys. Please. Now that you've made new friends you guys can hang out later. It's... Remember, now that you have new friends you can now drink free beer with them when this is all over. Stop. This is going to be on YouTube. Alright, one of the things I want you to do also after this and outside of this make sure that you put yourself out there. Make sure that you put yourself in a position where you can find things that other people are interested in that you might share in common. Tomorrow during the day and one of the penthouse suites in the Indigo Tower there's a travel con where it's an international meetup. Any of you that are coming from a foreign country and you're concerned hey, I'm not sure if I'm going to find somebody that speaks the same language or has cultural things in common. That's a place to go and meet people. Also after this that the new party, this is a great place and opportunity to mingle and actually meet people. You're under no obligation, you're here once you can find somebody and you can make a friend and you can make that friend turn into some sort of opportunity whether it's to learn more, get another job there's lots of things that you can find if you just simply reach out and find a friend. I will tell you it is very difficult for me because I do have social anxiety I am very awkward when I you get to hear it a little bit here it's easier because I'm talking to you and I don't actually have to interact with you I can talk actually if you wanted to start a conversation with me later then you know pick a topic that I know something about please but but the important thing is skipping over the people who just won't let that joke die the important thing is truly if you find somebody who can connect with it's going to make a great deal of difference because DEF CON gives you what you put into it if all you do is go and attend a talk or all you do is go and you sit down and you do CTF with your head buried in your laptop unfortunately that's what you're going to get out of it there's nothing so I want to make sure that everybody truly understands that triple dog dare you cannot turn this one down that's the way that it works yeah I threw it out triple dog dare that just happened boom no I double dog dare the last one was double dog here just in case you missed it triple dog dare yeah well you know this is one do something you've never done before you know if you're here and you're a cis admin and that's what you do find something else get into internet of things or go in and you know check out one of the other contests hack your car it's actually pretty cool the stuff that those guys are doing biohacking you know this is something that's actually also kind of fun too so just try the villages go to a party I'm giving you the first opportunity to go to the party after this again free beer just in case you missed it so now I'm going to take a little bit and ask the people that are on the panel basically what I want them to do is introduce themselves and kind of give you an understanding of what they did to get into DEF CON and what they got out of DEF CON and they offer you any kind of advice and I think if we start with Romer no honestly Romer is the person that got me into DEF CON you know like I said I came here I did two CTFs but I met after that he actually came and worked with me we hung out, we were friends he was best man at my wedding so this is one of the things that you get when you meet somebody cool at DEF CON crying shit alright first off I will do all the shit you wanted me to do but I love these things and I just have to say fuck a few times because I'm basically 12 years old and I like saying fuck fuck fuck fuck written across the screen fuck fuck fuck fuck yeah sweet alright so I got into DEF CON seriously I'm fucking 12 so I think the first DEF CON I came to was DEF CON 7 or 8 and Russ who is now like I don't know what his title grand poobah or something at the time he just like he was 10D and he was a goon and he's like hey man can you help me out this was back in the Alexis park days which I actually do want to go back to whether priest does or not and so I didn't realize that that meant that for the next 16 years I was basically spending 3 to 500 hours a week honestly I'm pretty fucking awesome I can do that shit I didn't know I was going to be spending 3 to 500 hours a year preparing for DEF CON for the next 16 years and then now I just sit around and drink which is awesome I'd love being retired it's the best I cannot recommend it enough it was glorious all my friends were like dealing with badges last night I'm like sucks to me I mean one of the coolest things about what DEF CON was back then though was like it was it was really easy to go and just walk up to somebody and start a conversation I mean Mike talked about it a little bit already you could like the pools at the Alexis park were glorious you could just walk up you hear people talking about something that you're interested in you offer them a beer and you join in the conversation and that's basically I knew one person when I came to my first DEF CON now I feel like I probably know about 15,000 which is pretty cool and Russ was a loser too man he would go to bed at like 9pm dude everybody else is still awake cause they're not like grandparents so but you know from there I kind of like wanted to get more involved cause I thought this was really neat I found people that dig the same shit that I dig they want to do the same stuff that I want to do they want to cause a lot of the same kind of trouble that I wanted to cause so like one of the things that's kind of cool this year Mike mentioned the villages like all Gamba villages Shrimp Scampa Village don't forget the IOT village but one of the things the wireless village is doing this year was something that I started at DEF CON 10 I think which was the first time we wardrobe Vegas and we did a war driving contest they're actually doing an old school war driving contest this year which I think is kind of neat and it would be interesting to see what the wireless map actually looks like but one of the things that was really neat about the way things were and Mike mentioned it with the contest when I ran that contest I actually had only a couple of rules and the last rule was if it's not explicitly disallowed then it's allowed and so like the first year that we did that like I said I think it was DEF CON 10 the Shmug Group read through the rules and they realized that nothing actually said they had to drive so they contacted one of the local news stations and said hey will you fly us around in your helicopter we'll give you a story they won the contest then the next year I think it was the Wiggle Group they looked at the rules and they didn't realize nothing said they had to be Vegas and you got extra points for unique access points ones that only your team found so they drove to L.A. and they won too so I mean yeah I mean hack the contest is like the most fun like as the organizer that was the shit that I wanted to see what were you guys going to come up with it was going to make me say holy crap I wish I had thought of that that's awesome next year I'm totally going to not let that happen but yeah I mean try to get involved try to like I mean like you want people at the bar and buy them a drink or ask them to buy you one that's a bold choice but it might work and we had kids coming up last night like it was weird some dude came up to me today and he's like hey aren't you one of the organizers I'm like yeah he said I recognize your voice from the documentary and that really pissed me off because I didn't think I said I don't think I sound anything like that and I'm like shit my voice really does sound like that it really sucks I got this weird list I didn't even know I have I'm like I don't sound like that so I mean listen to the gurus they're here to help you have a good time they're also a lot of really smart people and they're probably some of the best friends I've ever had or you guys ever will make thank you my name is Evil Mofo and I run the scavenger hunt um instead of going to any talks do not go to talks since they are relevant to your employment you are paid to be here to go to that talk do not go to talks what? three months from now they will be posted on the internet what? instead you should go and enjoy Defcon just don't do the scavenger hunt I don't care if you do the scavenger hunt just don't go to talks go to other no, no, no follow the directions okay scavenger hunt we're fun we're what keeps the Defcon fun STF you do holy crap I actually absolutely love the randomness of this so next I'd like to invite HiWiz up HiWiz actually like I said he started Defcon 101 this was something that it was you know kind of a fun thing it was the rules the frequently asked questions which turned into a talk now it's turned into this thanks for making me your next asshole I'm not going to say much just I'm not going to say much just number one a lot of people up here didn't want a 101 at all Romer and lost the first year did not want 101 why do we need a 101, why do we need to help out the noobs if somebody has to teach you how to hack you're not going to succeed exactly that was it now how many new people here put your hands way up don't be scared don't be afraid raise your hands because as everyone here has said and reiterated you're going to get out of Defcon what you put into it you have to be an active participant you have 361 days a year where you can sit on IRC so log off log off and go talk to people don't sit in the hallways don't do badge contests don't play on your computer go talk to people I did yes, like many of these people did and that's how they got involved and if you come up to some of us later we'll give you challenge coins really cool challenge coins that Mike made and I'll have an interesting question later on for when we play a game and the winners will get a pair of gunner glasses what? so that's it for me Mike you're up back up one other thing any cute guys out there if you want to hang out later just put that out there next I'd like you to hear from Nikita Nikita is one of the organizers of Defcon and is super awesome she's so awesome I tweeted it this is really uncomfortable for me I have incredibly bad social anxiety so you will very rarely see me talk to this many people I get a little bit shaky so give me a break there I work for Defcon all year round I help organize the conference I am the director thank you I'm the director of the CFP board so a lot of the gentlemen on the CFP board and ladies as well we have quite a few I help coordinate getting all these talks that you don't want to go to while you're here and then afterwards I have the pleasure of coordinating getting them put up online so that you can enjoy them there and so I do that and I kind of just bits and pieces here and there Nikita makes Defcon let me just say it's Nikita and Ryan together with his badges and all the hard work Nikita does I mean everyone else does a lot of hard work but between the two of them it is Defcon they are the pure epitome of Defcon thank you that's a lovely that's a lovely compliment but I would be remiss if I didn't speak up for all of the other teams we have and volunteers on staff as well and you know we do have quite a majority within Defcon most of the organization for some of the top level stuff is all females hotel women administration women we've got it's true it's true workshops women yeah so just we are here we're just really busy so I don't know what else they asked all right thank you I really want to encourage everybody to just have a good time stay party have some drinks I have one around my neck these are special lanyards these are part of the stuff that we're going to hand out to people if you are doing loss challenge you do need this you need to either see it take a picture of it get one so whatever you're going to do if you're going to do loss challenge and try and figure it out you need to get one of these and with that actually I would like for loss to come up and speak I'm going to talk for a long because you all heard me talking just before this so let's redo the processor backwards we're going to start with the playstation and end up with a rock so when I came to my first Defcon I didn't know anybody and I decided that I had to prove to everybody that I was worthy of being there so I competed in a contest by a guy who goes by the name of Neural who's kind of disappeared from the scene now and uh and I actually won that competition and from then it was just been downhill ever since for me in the fact that uh Romer was talking about how much time you spend during the year getting ready for Defcon so everyone always asks me when I start prep for the stuff that I do and it usually starts midway through this Defcon I'll be already working on stuff for next year that's the only way I can get it all done and I would like to disagree with highways I don't think it's Nikita and I it's all you guys that make Defcon because seriously because uh when I do the challenges and stuff like that that's just me like expressing all of my crazy weird interests in puzzle form but watching people go through it and uh seeing people come up with clever and interesting ways of solving the stuff that in ways that I didn't even think of exactly what the spirit and epitome of a hacker con is and so I feel very relaxed when I'm at Defcon when I'm not rushing around trying to fix problems because I don't feel like I have to explain my motivations behind a lot of stuff because I'm with like-minded individuals I like coming to a place where I don't generally have to explain my t-shirts to people because I mean all of us, at least I assume a lot of you out here have worn a t-shirt or two that when you go to the grocery store and the clerk clicks at your shirt and doesn't know what the hell they're looking at that's pretty common fare but you come to Defcon and everyone's like you'll find somebody who understands your shirt no matter how crazy off the wall it's complex it is so um I uh since we're introducing what we've done so I uh many years ago at Defcon I had gotten a robotics company Parallax to donate a bunch of robotics kits and I started at one end of the conference and I walked through the conference saying who wants to learn how to build a robot and that's all I said and I walked from one end to the other and by the time I got to the other in the conference it was like the Pied Piper I had a trail of about 45 people behind me we didn't have a room we didn't have a place to do it it wasn't a village and we sat down on the floor in a robotics class on the spot and from that the hardware hacking village was born that's how the hardware hacking village came to be and that's the kind of stuff that we want to encourage to happen and we encourage you guys to do several of the contests that are out there now are people that used to compete in my mystery box challenge not the batch challenge but I used to do a much more difficult contest called the mystery challenge and now they're doing things like the dark net project those guys are awesome if you haven't taken a look or you haven't heard of it go see the dark net stuff those guys do an amazing job they have a really cool badge and they only make like 200 of them so they're very if you want to see one go find those guys and take a look at them because it's worth the time investment to seek out these little niche things and there's all these little pockets of community that kind of do their own thing there's other parties that have like puzzles that you have to solve to get into the party there's different meetup groups and things like that and to get involved and have fun I know everyone keeps saying we keep delivering yeah interrupt me one thing that he didn't really kind of glossed over on the robotics class that he did that's the death carnage thing I've ever seen anybody do Ryan wasn't a staff member he wasn't running anything he was a dude that said I want to teach people shit it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen I'm like who the fuck is this guy I've got to meet him because it was incredible that's what death crime really is all about thank you because people always ask how do I get involved do you make yourself get involved you're a hacker be active about these things don't sit on your ass and wait for people to do it and in response to the thing about the land years apparently there's already a reddit where people are trying to collect all the information and the pieces because people remote solve the contest every year as well we have people in Germany I know we have a guy in Japan we have people all over the country that have people on the ground in the conference who are remoting people in to work on the conference but you married the smartest one and I was getting to that I actually met my wife that way one year I realized there was this young lady who was being skyped in to team because I love walking around to see the different teams working on my contests that's the joy for me of all the work that I do and I saw that they had a laptop out and it was a skype that shows what do you do and they're like oh we're skyping in this girl who solves your crypto really really fast and we don't understand how she's doing it but she's great and then I went and saw another team I was like wait that's the same person this is a different team and it's like fierce competition and I said wait what's going on and she was social engineering the teams from home wasn't even at DEF CON and had interjected and was actually part of multiple teams and so and eventually married to her yeah yeah so anyway so yeah so guys there so there's hope for you out there you could find anyway I've talked enough I want to let other people talk time for Jay Jay's the newest member of our team it's like an alcoholics anonymous hi Jay welcome there is a build up in the building here oh yeah there is please welcome Jay thank you thank you so I did want to address Nikita really quick because she said that everybody's female on everything here working it she still needs us to open her jars so we're not obsolete man we've still been open jars um what so um yeah this is my third DEF CON last year was the first year I got to actually work and help out and do anything here it was kind of fun I met this fool many many years ago crypt bitch crypt year I think it is still still crypt year crypt year this year again okay crypt year it is it's gonna come up on the thing thanks Roman I met him many years ago and he introduced me to this and he said hey there's this thing called DEF CON you should come to it it's a bunch of hackers I'm like I don't know what a computer is I can check my email and that's about it and I'm serious I really I can check my email on google now so I'm doing well but uh yeah thank you I appreciate it and um he told me to come to this and I had no clue what it was I didn't know uh you know what I would learn and who I would meet but a large group of people who are smarter than me which is anywhere I go including Walmart is a pretty exciting place for me true cashiers are genius um so uh he got me here finally after probably about five years of trying and um I showed up he said hey help me same thing as uh with Roman you know he said hey help me do this and now I'm working again I took uh time off of work to come and work I'm not sure why so I'm here and I've tried to solve the badge challenge I did not get past the very first part this is a badge I solved the first part so um other than that I can't do anything with it so I need something a little more simple for me and uh so I asked lost over here I said hey is there anything you can do for um the simple minded folk such as myself he said probably and uh and he did so he came up with something uh quite exciting and this is um this is a little easier challenge suppose that I'm able to solve it so I have some coins um that if anybody is interested in trying to solve this and give me the answer so I can tell him I did it um come and find me I have a couple I can probably get out to you and then there's some really rare ones which uh we haven't told anybody yet we're trying to get these to the goons um so oh you want one let's see what we can do so uh we're trying to get these to the goons and they have their own separate little thing on the back um I would love to have somebody figure this out for me so I can look like I'm actually part of the group so but that's it nothing else for me any questions any questions answers questions yeah your next Casey as you were talking about women again I have to come in get the last word so at the party there's um there's a group and I'm just kind of getting the information now that is trying to organize stuff to kind of get together and talk about diversity and so they're gonna be here pass out some information and try to get people together I don't know much about it I'm just telling you now if you're interested in that it's available but what I really also wanted to say is we talked about deodorant a lot haven't we but ladies that means you too okay alright thanks we've got two more speakers that we've got unless you guys are gonna be real upset about not speaking um and then we're gonna get to the fun part name that new but to bring it down a little bit I'd like Casey to come up and talk everybody having a good time it's great to be here well um I think I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my first DEF CON when I came I only knew one person sitting right there that's my little brother Ryan and I'm very proud of him he does a lot of work for you guys and really does it out of love for the community and give him back and it's been a really interesting thing to see how my brother has grown and really come into his own in this community and I'm very proud of him so after he introduced himself into DEF CON after he'd been coming a few years I decided to bring in the next wave and he invited me to come along with him and I didn't know anybody and I thought hey it's gonna be a really cool weekend hanging out with my brother and I came with him he said here go carry these boxes and then he disappeared so um I basically had to be left to my own devices you know and support him where I could and everything but he's a very busy guy at this thing and went out and made my own set of friends for the first year that I had one DEF CON on the last day of DEF CON the highways comes up to me and he gives me a bump key that he had gotten for me and he says hey I got you something and this is like right before closing ceremonies and no it was a run exactly and Ryan walks up to me and he looks amazed and he goes he's talking to you and I said yeah he's talking to me we got all three DEF CON we talked to new people so I felt like I had kind of owned DEF CON that year I went to talks I got a mohawk for charity and got to know what have become my best friends in the world and I haven't missed the DEF CON since DEF CON 17 and I know it's redundant and you've heard it a lot but I'm here to tell you that DEF CON is going to be what you make of it stretch beyond what's comfortable oh yeah put yourself out there you will get to know some of the most interesting things and some of the most interesting people and honestly what are likely to become some of the best friends you'll ever make this tends to be a very close knit and a very loyal community and I would invite you to do so all of us are approachable all of you are approachable everybody let's get to know each other and glad you're here so inappropriate speaking of crypto crypto crypto is a few years longer than Jay and actually has made a huge impact on our team so I'm going to ask him to come up first of all first of all Ryan everyone complained last year about how big you made the badges I think this year is ridiculous no they can't see because they can't see I'll get to my tippy toes doesn't help hey I see his hair okay so I am super super tired so I'm going to apologize for everything oh I'm loud I don't need a phone I'm sure can everyone hear me over there see I got the what which is what I expected I honestly just want to thank everybody on this stage because if these great people weren't here I wouldn't want to come every year for me DEF CON actually except for this year has never really been I've never been able to actually do all the fun stuff I've never been able to do Ryan's challenge I've never been able to actually participate in a contest or do anything at all but I've got to hang around with some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my entire life and all of them actually are here and then some of them are still working but I just want to thank everyone and you guys know how much work you guys did this weekend or this week and I appreciate all the effort because I asked a lot of people like to I mean Aunch over here he and I both have not gone to sleep I don't even remember one yeah so I hope you guys enjoy the badges

Okay. Do we have anything? Bring it in. Name that new. Rosetta phone. My name's Matt. I'm electrical engineer and I cross over to the dark side now I'm project manager for an internet company that streams cat videos. Now the cringiest thing I've ever done was put my World of Warcraft Guild on a resume and actually got the job. And I still cringe to it to this moment. I'm sure that that was. Name that new. Bold move. Just come on up, princess. Princess. Just come on up. Hi, my name is Jordan. I'm from Israel. I'm a computer programmer and I think the most embarrassing thing I have is I'm such a class. I've been here for like three weeks a month and I'm all bruised. I've been to the ER once and I have scrapes and bruises all over me. Audience participation. That is actually really good. Name that new. Patient zero. Last one, right? Okay. You two guys are the last ones. Wow. You are what? I said approximate princess. Oh. So my name's Keith. I'm a student from Boston Mass. Anyone? Anyone? No one. And last night something embarrassing happened to me. I tagged along for a vendor party over at the MGM Grand. Anyone there? Might have had too much to drink. I think that's enough about that story. Something else as I work at Walmart. Give it to us. Well, I don't know. I didn't really embarrass myself, but it could have ended badly, you know. I don't know. So the story wasn't about you, you were just. No, it was about me. I was there. I was the one that got wasted. Name that new. Tag along. Okay. So I'm Isaac. I'm from Portland and I'm actually a high school student, but a hacker in training. And yeah, I'm actually a only chick student who's up on the stage right now. And so my embarrassing story would be like the first time that I ever used a computer. It ended up being fried and had tons of Rick Rolls all over it. So, yeah. Very inappropriate. You cannot say that. We can go. Anybody? He's pretty, I mean that's. I mean, I'm kind of pretty. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but we're going to pick on you and you are named that new teachers pet. Come on up. And it's only for one reason. Everybody stand up. Kanye. I'm not trying to get this mic in a minute. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. We've been standing. We've been sitting here for how long now. Stand up. I know I'm louder than the mic. All right. Now everybody. That's all you got to do. Just follow after me. That's it. Get your get your air. Get all excited. Dude. Kanye. No, okay. Just Kanye. Come on up with my microphone. All right. I'm gonna let you finish. Yeah. All right. So, like I said, we'll do smore afterwards. I really appreciate everybody, you know, participating. It truly is the most fun part about this talk. And it's one of the things that we really enjoy because this is a way to get to know each other. It's a way that you guys can start to reach out. You know, again, I'm telling you, put yourselves out there. It's really important for you to be able to do what these people just did. That's very brave. And I'm very proud of every single person that did that because that's some scary stuff with the exception of you. You know, so. And the last thing I'm going to do, I'm going to do some thank yous. First, dark tangent, Jeff Moss. He is the guy who started Def Con. And he is the reason that the, you know, everybody is here. Truly. And Romer, because he's the guy that got me into Def Con. And I'm really happy that, you know, I was able to do that. This is, it was something that, you know, well, I'll get all weepy. Hi Wiz. Again, you know, he started 101. And his friendship has meant a lot to me. A whole list of people, Cripp, Nikita, Lost, Jay, Anch. Only Chick. I apologize. I didn't even know you were going to be here. Runner up, who is, hi Wiz, is better half. Shhh. Oh, I'm sorry. Totally single, man. Russ, Russer and Panadero. Pushpin, who is one of the guys who's a vendor goon and is actually a lot of fun. Clutch. Alex Rogan and Jen are not here in Medic. Alex Rogan, Jen and Medic were the first ones that I truly hung out with. And Jen was absolutely hysterical. If you get her drunk, she'll make snow angels in the grass. You know, everybody else has ever been a vendor goon. It's really important, you know, to recognize the goons all do everything. And they do it for the con, you know. And it's, so they don't often get recognized, but the goons are an important part of this. And anybody that I've forgotten to thank, if you're out there, you know, like if you've got a really long beard and you start with Evil Rob, you might not be on the list. Still. So I appreciate it. If you guys have any questions, if you just want to chat, come on up. And then, like I said, stick around. They're going to be wheeling in the bars if they're not already out in the lobby. Yeah, anybody that's watching on TV, first of all, shame on you for not being here. But second of all, come on down and participate, you know, be part of it. All right. Thank you guys. Thank you.
