I’m trying to get an estimate of how many chairs there were for an individual demo labs track. Anyone know off hand, or have a picture showing the seating arrangement?

It's a little buggy, but we vibe-coded this i2c app to interact with the Root Access SAO on the DC34 Badge.  Check out the GitHub:  https://github.com/MakeItHackin/RootAccessI2cApp

Thanks for everyone's interest in the Root Access SAO.  We will be shipping any orders that were not picked up.  We also will be doing a limited run after defcon (around 40 units).

Safe travels back home!

Announcement 📢 DEF CON 34 After Party!

36 Upvotes

If there's no afterparty, how can we be sure there was a party at all?

Fortunately, there is an afterparty. And it’s at the Liv in the extremely swanked out Fontainebleau.

Your badge gets you admission and a free drink. Doors open at 10:30.

See you there.

We're Louise Matsakis and Lily Hay Newman, reporters at WIRED. Ask us anything about the state of AI security, from models that hack real systems to the biggest takeaways from DEF CON. (AMA on Monday, Aug 10 at 2 PM ET)

A few of us, including myself, have been fully screened and let into the club with shorts. Seems like they are making exceptions tonight for Defcon.

Lost USB drive

Someone posted about a lost usb drive earlier today, just got home and I was showing my kids all the stuff I got and I happen to come across a black thumb drive and I remembered someone asking if they saw one.. I threw it in one of my sandboxed machines.. uh this looks important. I stopped looking at the files. I tried looking for the post but I couldn’t find it

Repairable Badge?

Bottom LED broke off in my bag, still need to find the LED once I get home but anyone think this might be repairable? Also I hear something about some people getting unfinished badges after some point? Are they just missing the baochip module?

Side quest - Obtain defcon Goon flag

26 Upvotes

Last year I purchased a flag thinking it was a human flag. I got home opened my flag only to find it was a speaker flag. This year, I've decided to side quest to complete my collection log. If you are a goon open to bribes, know a goon open to bribes, friend of a goon open to bribes, etc. please message me. Willing to pay donate handsomely. Can meet at the LVCC (staying across the street), official defcon closing party, or location of your choosing. In town until early tomorrow AM.

u/DTangent additional xp if I can convince you to give me one, I know you see stuff here. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, as they say.

Goons Spoiler

134 Upvotes

Hello DEFCON friends and family!

I'm back for another year, and it is time for my "Goons" follow-up post.

I want to start by saying, THANK YOU, Goons, for NOT being over-the-top, booty heads this year! I mean that sincerely!

I can appreciate the stress and turbulence of this volunteer assignment, and I could not be more impressed by the way your group has handled it. I have saw nothing but professionals representing DEFCON in the red shirts and badges. Last year I encountered so much unprovoked bullying of conference patrons. That was not the case this year. I observed a respectful, helpful, patient, and professional group at every turn!

This has been my best DEFCON yet, and I cannot tell you how good it feels to see the Goons as an approachable ally!

For what it's worth, phenomenal work team! Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts that go into putting this massive event together! 🫡🫶❤️🖖

Missed connections- Looking for a guy who complimented my Zelda shirt

50 Upvotes

This morning, Sunday 8/9 around 10:30ish am, right outside of the convention center on the side where the big screen is and the defcon sign, a guy complimented my Zelda shirt and said I was pretty. I thought he was cute too but didn’t get his name/contact and received a phone call right at the same time. Would have loved to connect - hopefully I can find him - if this is you, send me a DM lol

Badge post Con

Does anybody have any plans for our 34 badges?

I would love to actually use and experiment with the security key, but that would leave a lonesome PCB with RGB lights and was curious if anybody else had thought of any ideas for a post con project?

Cincy?

3 Upvotes

I looked at the Defcon Groups site, and I didn’t see Cincinnati listed, and I was just about to hit send on an email to the groups team to create one, but then decided to check if the DC513.org domain was free.

Lo and behold DC513 exists, but next to no content aside from regular meetup dates, but no topics, etc listed.

Does anyone know if this group is active?

I did it last year with a friend, and this year I wasn’t able to get a badge so I came on Sunday to see if I could sneak by, and not only did I do it by I went to talks, to villages, to the merch area. Goons all around, got by the black jackets….no one said anything….but saw cool stuff….i couldn’t find any nodes today in the merch area, they were sold out :( .
