DEFCON Coverage Round-up at Make

ptorrone writes "If you couldn't get to Vegas this year for the annual DEFCON Conference, we have a special spot on MAKE Magazine with all the project centric activities from DEFCON, enhanced audio, images, posts and more. It was a logistically challenging event to cover, but we hope you enjoy what we were able to capture."

    To my recollection no "cock" in the sense of a phallus has been inserted into that hole or any other orifice of mine.
    Hence I think your descriptive creative use of words to indicate said hole seems to have flawed. Or our concepts differ when we refer to the normal utilisation of said hole.

      Hell, if you just started recently, you ain't seen nothing yet. Speaking from experience, yes they will revoke posting priveleges on your session, account, IP, and entire subnet. You can get your whole damn ISP banned if you try hard enough. Usually temporary, but I got my IP permanently banned once, they don't even let you load the main page then.

    I was at Defcon this year, my first ever, and I can say without reading the article it was a superb event. The number of people there was simply amazing, and most speakers filled or nearly filled out each venue. A few speakers were what I would consider "underdogs", because they didn't get the attention of any large crowd, but were fantastic. The talk on sketchtools and on Meme Mining for Fun/Profit were both excellent. There was a random presentation by the (a?) assistant director of the DoD, which talked a lot about the information grid the DoD is building, and how the DoD wanted to recruit skilled persons. Theres really too much to talk about in a small blurb here, but hopefully the article comes up soon.

    Well, one way would be to use wireless only between two fixed points with directional antennaes. An even better way would be to send the wireless signal through a shielded cable. In other words, you can't really do it and still actually have a portable, wireless connection.
    Pretty much any technique to actually make it difficult to capture a packet without limiting range and portability is going to run afoul of regulatory agences. For example, winnowing and chaffing might be doable on a wired network, but the FCC would not be happy about everyone using security methods that flood the spectrum with 90% fake packets.
