Defcon 2 0 0 17
The Unofficial Defcon DFIR CTF comprised of 5 different challenge categories with a total of 82 DFIR related challenges including a Crypto Challenge, Deadbox Forensics, Linux Forensics, Memory Forensics, and a Live VM to Triage. After the challenge was over, Evandrix and I teamed up to tackle the rest of the challenges and became the second and third person to successfully complete all the CTF. The result for you is a much more active and quick rear suspension, eliminating play and wag all at the same time. Out of the box, our DEFCON & XCT suspension bikes with Enduro’s MAX bearings will save you time and money, as they will perform well 2 or 3 times longer than off the shelf bearings. 1-7 POT DEFCON CHOCOLATE 2-MUSTARD REAPER 3-HURT BERRY 4-REAPER PINK PEACH 5-CRIOLLA SELLA 6-WARTRYX 7-REAPER PINK PEACH 8-JAY’S PINK 9-JAY’S PINK 10-PURPLE UFO 11-BATMAN PINEAPPLE 12-PURPLE UFO.

Presented by the Joint Quantum Institute, National Institute of Standards and Technology and University of Maryland, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore
With a hands-on Bell-o-meter for entangled photons you can convince yourself that there are quantum effects beyond classical physics: a real qubit is offered to the participant who achieves the strongest violation of a Bell inequality. We also present a fresh attack that breaks many current quantum crypto systems, and demonstrate a photon-based quantum randon number generator.
Find it in Capri 114 /115 Friday-Sunday at DEF CON 17!

DEF CON 17 CTF Quals Cartoon Write Up
Check out this awesome write-up of the CTF Quals from one of the qualifying teams, the Sapheads! Clever and educational, it provides a great perspective on the thought processes behind solving the B300 section of the qualification round. Sounds like they plan to do more, so we'll keep an eye out!

From G Mark on the DEF CON Forums:
THE PROPER (AND ONLY) WAY TO SIGN UP A TEAM FOR HACKER JEOPARDY
Okay, just to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity, here are the directions to sign up your team. Don't do something else (like post a reply to Winn's thread, since it might not get read in time -- we had this problem last year.)
1. Open an e-mail to 'hackerjeopardy@gmail.com'
2. Include your TEAM NAME and the real names and handles of your three (3) team players. (Privacy policy: we protect your identity unless a Fed or someone with a whole bunch of cash wants it.)
3. Explain why you are 31337 enough to play this year. Brag like you're trying to get lucky.
4. Include at least one cellphone number so we can contact you to notify if you're playing or there's a problem with your entry.
5. Send the e-mail as soon as possible, but absolutely no later than 90 minutes before the scheduled start of the round to be played. In case of any dispute, you're wrong (unless you are an entity described in #2 above.)
Alternate slots for ninjas... LosT @ Con Mystery Challenge

Team Fortress 2 Tournament - Only Two Days Left to Sign Up for Quals!
Qualifiers - July 17-18
Get your teams together and mark your calendar. Qualifiers will be the evenings of July 17-18. As teams sign up, we'll work with the team captains to finalize scheduling. Also, we'll group the individual reg's together into teams for the quals as well.
If you haven't signed up, please do so sooner rather than later. NOTE you don't need a full team to sign up a team. If you've got 4 or 5 friends you want to play with, register a team and we'll fill the blanks up with individual reg's later.

From shrdlu on the DEF CON Forums:
Information for those hoping to win on our momentous Tenth Year of celebrating caffeine.You can submit your beans before Friday morning, by various arcane methods, none of which will be posted here (but email to Foofus might help). You *MUST* submit them before 10AM (or close to it), since that's when we start brewing and drinking and judging. We'll send the occasional messenger out into the massed and frightening horde if you are trying to bring it Friday morning.
Coffee Wars only takes place on Friday morning. We're usually done by 11-ish, and vanished completely by Noon. You can spot most of the judges the rest of the day due to the slight vibration of their entire body (except me; I *like* that much caffeine).

It's that time again, art ninjas!
Whip out your favorite medium and get to creating, because the official DEF CON 17 Artwork Contest is now underway, and will run now to June 15, 2009.
The goal for this year's artwork contest is to create a piece of art you would see plastered on a wall, mailbox, telephone pole or bumper of a car of the nearest urban center. What we're looking for is an underground feel, reminiscent of DIY 'zines, gig posters, or pulp comics... (Read on)

From Deviant Ollam in the DEF CON Forums:
The Gringo Warrior section of my web site has been pretty bare for a long time. I didn't even have a link to it on the main page. Well, that's all changed now. All the past content, the scores, the videos, the summaries, etc etc etc. is all online now.
http://deviating.net/lockpicking/gringo
So, if you participated in a run of Gringo that was filmed, check it out and show your friends! If your attempt was filmed by someone other than me, point me towards a video of it online and i'm happy to link to it. If we somehow accidentally filmed you when you did not want to be filmed, please let me know so i can pull the video down.
I'm looking forward to bringing this back again at DEF CON 17 and have been really happy to take more and more steps towards buffing up the overall appearance and reputation of the game in order to ensure that it is included among the 'Official Events' with a Black Badge this year. That was the plan last time, but a miscommunication fouled us up in the end.
I hope to see all of you stopping by the Gringo area this summer, if not to participate then at least to cheer on (or heckle) your friends.
The Riviera - Good Changes for DEF CON 17
- This year at the Riv we'll see some nice changes to some of the pricing and policies of the hotel!
- 1. Room prices have been dropped to $89/Day and should be reflected on the DEF CON 17 Booking Page soon.
If you booked under the old prices I _think_ the pricing will automagically be reflected in your bill as the new room block price. - 2. We will get the pool until 11pm for swimming and hanging out. We can do low key DJ action till then. We are currently talking with them to determine how we can keep it longer.
- 3. Drink prices on beer and booze have been reduced. I'll update this post when I have accurate information.
Some initial RIV updates from the Dark Tangent on the DEF CON Forums:
We'll post any updates to policy or pricing changes as we get more details!
