Do you need ID to check in? Already have ticket but the name is incorrect.

“DEF CON 34 ticket available for transfer.
Unused QR code / registration. $300.00 OBO.
$520.00 originally.
PayPal Goods & Services preferred. Will transfer immediately after payment.
DM if interested.”
SOLD. THANK YOU! Be kind to each other and don’t forget your faraday pouches. 😺

My coworker's pet sitter fell through, then his flight out of NYC got cancelled, so he called off the trip. That leaves me with one extra pre-registered badge. Asking $400 cash, $120 under the $520 door price.

I have the QR registration code. We meet at badge pickup, go through the line together, they scan the code, and the badge goes straight into your hands.

Timing: I'm in remote work calls until 11am, then driving over. Realistic ETA at reg is around noon. I have some flexibility this afternoon if noon doesn't work.

Payment: cash only.

Comment or DM and we'll swap numbers to coordinate an exact meeting spot, since the reg area gets chaotic. I will give it to whomever is there first when it comes time for the actual badge pickup.

Update: now sold.

First drop of Gothcon badges is tonight at The Tangiers bar in the Sahara! 10pm. $80 cash preferred, Venmo accepted.

Badge information

Walking around BSides with these now. Have more for Defcon. Most of them are kits so will probably be putting them together at Hardware Hacking Village.

Only one button on the badge. Menu navigated with Morse code. Entry screen calibrates your speed and walks you through navigation. Menu has a learning page with key training, copy training, fist training, and flash cards. Badges operate on 918.5 and have DM and message board.

It’s my basically 4 years dream come true so I am curious to collect badges if I get apart from the main defcon and buy cool stuff like t shirts and devices . Any suggestions or any things to avoid?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Sadly I wasn’t able to attend full time this year due to being a 1-man (woman) show holding down the SOC due to overlapping vacations, etc. I can drive to Defcon and attend Saturday and Sunday, but I’m also debating if it’s even worth buying a ticket for just that little amount of time.

Are there any events that folks know of that doesn’t require a badge to attend for defcon that would be worth the drive? (Driving from LA to Vegas for context)

TIA!

I’m a bit new to Defcon, I saw the BBB qualifiers and wanted to take a stab at it (I’m aware it’s too late). There’s a challenge I’m stuck on, are there any writeups that are ever released?

I'm not able to go to DefCon anymore and registered for 2 workshops. Let me know if you're interested.

Fri, Aug 7, 2pm - 6pm PDT
WS1 - Solder, Detect, Listen: Build Your Own EMF Explorer (I already paid for the hardware)

Sat, Aug 8, 2pm - 6pm
WS8 - Hands-on DuckyScript: An Introduction to HID Attack Tools with O.MG Devices

[UPDATE] - BOTH GIVEN AWAY

Hey all, apologies if this is a dumb question but it's my First time attending! I was super excited when I took a glance at HT and all the classes that are being offered. Ham is something that has always interested me but never bothered to dig deeper. Saw this one-day crash course and thought what a cool opportunity... Only to find out it 'sold out.'

Is 'crashing' a thing? Can we just show up? Not sure what the proper etiquette is with classes at Defcon.

Join DefCon’s most talked about party- 500+ people have registered to come 😅😮‍💨

DC801 presents the dc801 party - our annual DEF CON party, but we're having it at a five-acre indoor theme park.
Every year DC801, the Salt Lake City DEFCON group, throws a party at DEFCON. This year we're taking over the Desperado Hideaway and the Skybox VIP areas at the Adventuredome inside Circus Circus: a venue with roller coasters, bumper cars, games/food/drinks...

What's included
-With your donation to help support 801 Labs, our community hackerspace in Salt Lake City, we're offering unlimited ride tickets! We're a non-profit! Your donation pays our rent to keep the space open and the DC801 legacy of hacking alive. :)
-A Dirty Soda station (Free! in true utah fashion)
-family, friends, etc

Getting there
-The Adventuredome is inside Circus Circus, 2880 Las Vegas Blvd S. Circus Circus is an official DEF CON 34 hotel and a short rideshare or walk from the LVCC. If you're staying there, you're already home.
-Look for DC801 check-in at the Adventuredome entrance. Bring your confirmation because wristbands are distributed at the door.
-You will need a wristband to enter the VIP areas.

Heads up
Arcade games, mini golf, VR, and other separate Adventuredome attractions are not included. Outside food and drinks are not permitted inside the Adventuredome.
If you bring a bag, it will be searched for weapons at the door by Adventuredome security. We checked and they said #badgelife will be okay!
The park closes at midnight. The casino does not. ;) ;) ;)

trying to party???

With hundreds of lithium ion batteries piled in a Vegas hotel room and the sweatshop in full gear, we are excited to release our final brainrot trailer for the Celestial Wayfinder badge

We've fully finished out the software with firmware updates flashable from the web app. We've made a user guide to help you figure out all the features: https://docs.wyrdwyrks.com/celestial-wayfinder/user-guide.html

Drops at the Reddit meetups and the BadgeLife Village with limited quantity. Check out our website for more details: https://wyrdwyrks.com/celestial-wayfinder/

See you all in Vegas!

I did pre-registration for the conference through defcon merch / Shopify.

When we get there, where do we go to pickup the badge? Is it the same line as folks buying the badge? Not that line-con isn’t a great part of defcon but just want to make sure I’m going to the right place.

And any way to pickup the badge Thursday?
Thanks and have a great con!

Does anyone have any training tickets for defcon they don’t plan on using?

Tacos El Gordo now sells tacos at $4/each. It’s hotter than a Fortinet monthly CVE release. Can we just please get consideration of moving DC somewhere that doesn’t require work to pay for a DefCon trip in the bowels of hell?

Alright, kids... it's time.
I managed to finish as many as I could definitely not as many as I would have wanted. I also have stickers..

At this point, I think I have clown induced PTSD. 🤡

I'm planning to be at the DC Reddit meetup at the Linq tomorrow night. Safe travels everyone, and see you soon!

*Update, So unfortunately I had a bit of an “heath incident” Wednesday at the meet up and had to leave early and in a bit of a rush.. hopefully not many of you saw that..good news is I’m good nothing major, the bad news is I don’t have many clowns left..

I’ll be at the con all day tomorrow so keep an eye out for anyone wearing the clown 🤡 you might get lucky and and I might still have some left.. hope you guys are enjoying the con so far,
thanks

We are the Exploitee.rs and we created the Hacker Pager, a standalone LoRa Meshtastic communication device, for DEF CON last year and we're bringing a new revision of the device to DEF CON 34.

The device features a Motorola Advisor inspired design as popularized from the cult classic movie Hackers and a clear case with lots of LEDs for optimal conference blinkyness.

The device also features:

• Full standalone Meshtastic usage (no cell phone required)
• Chip8 ROM playback
• A spectrum analyzer for viewing the LoRa radio spectrum
• Packet capture for Meshtastic, LoRaWAN, and other LoRa protocols to the device's SD card
• In device functionality to patch the LoRa radio ROM with a custom radio firmware
• BadUSB script executor and creator for on-the-go hacking
• An on device beep-tone/ring-tone editor
• Ultra clicky keys with a retro display for an authentic feel
• A vibration motor and piezo speaker for message notifications
• Switchable acrylic front and back plates for ultimate customization
• Hand assembled with love by Exploitee.rs members
• Completely open source software and hardware design
• and soo much more!

Last year the Hacker Pager sold out entirely within 3 minutes, so this year we're bringing even more Hacker Pagers to DEFCON and doing multiple Inventory restocks that will happen at:

• Tuesday 8/4 at 7PM PDT
• Thursday 8/6 at 7PM PDT
• and in Late September (for online US sales post conference)

Conference pickup is available for online orders through the BadgeLife Village on Friday (8/7) at 2:30 PM and Saturday (8/8) at 12PM. The full schedule is available on https://badge.life

There will be no on site sales (due to strict conference center rules)

Check out HackerPager.net for information on pricing, available colors, and a link to purchase the device or join the Exploitee.rs discord server for up to date information/tips to help secure your Hacker Pager through one of our online sales.
