It has begun...
DEFCON is back at the Riviera Hotel, August 8-10, taking over the whole place, no drunk
frat meetings or police chiefs conferences to share with!
The wheels are turning on the 16th installment of your favorite hacking conference. Contest and Event threads are up and running in the forums, and now is the time to start suggesting new ideas, or to get involved with an existing event.
Your favorite official contests will be back, including Capture the Flag, the Mystery Box Challenge, DEFCON Bots, and the Lockpicking Contest as well as the unofficial Toxic BBQ, Øwn the Box, and the Phreaking Challenge. See the current state of the official and unofficial contests and get involved at the DEFCON Forums.
