As promised, here is the second post that deals entirely with DEFCON 18 plans. I don’t know if I’ll be following them closely or not. As stated in the last post, I kind of suck at keeping schedules at DEFCON. There’s so much stuff to do and I either get ADD and try to do everything or I follow Rain around for most of the con and will keep Twitter (@tottenkoph) updated no matter what. But this is what I’m planning so far…
I should be touching down in LAS around 1400 PDT. If there is anyone who is getting in around the same time, my friends and I would be more than happy to share a taxi or (if there are enough people) get a limo. I have no plans whatsoever between then and the Summit. I highly recommend people attend. For those of you who don’t know what the Summit is, it’s an opportunity to raise money for the EFF. The Mini Bosses and Dual Core will both be performing there this year (for more information click here) . After that? Probably mass consumption of beverages.
Friday, I would like to go to the 1000 talk on “How to Get Your FBI File…” by Marcia Hoffman, but getting up that early would be really ambitious of me and I don’t think it will happen. What’s most likely going to happen is that I’ll procure bacon and caffeine and generally kill time with Rain until her talk at 1200 on “Build a Lie Detector/Beat a Lie Detector”. Probably attend her Q&A and generally tool around/try not to throw up between then and 1600. I’ll be MIA from 1500-1600 because the speaker goons (and possibly Nikita) will deal unspeakable bodily harm to me if I am not in the green room during that time. My talk is at 1600, followed by the Q&A session (during which I will try my hardest not to rant about how much I hate a certain evil telecommunications company and love the Graffiti Research Lab). But I may be drunk. So there will be no promises…. Kill time until 1930 when Zoz is talking about “Pwned By the Owner: What Happens When You Steal a Hacker’s Computer”.
I will be attending random events Friday night as well as getting Jayson Street (@jaysonstreet on Twitter) to sign my copy of his book. Repeat mass consumption of beverages.
Saturday is completely up in there air, expect 1400 is Shawn Moyer’s (@shawnmoyer) talk on “Wardriving the Smart Grid: Practical Approaches to Attacking Utility Packet Radios”. At 1500, is James Arlen’s (@myrcurial) talk on “SCADA and ICS for Security Experts: How to Avoid Cyberdouchery”. 1600 is Jayson E. Street’s talk “Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea: Using the 36 stratagems for Social Engineering”.
Repeat consumption of beverages as well as going to 10,000 Cent Pyramid at 2200 on Saturday night.
Flight leaves at 1100 on Sunday for some god awful reason and the taxi/limo share is open to anyone who needs a ride to LAS.
