DEFCON Coverage Round-up at Make

Posted by timothy on from the make-this-cowboys dept.

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."

  3. Did the Wall of Sheep capture TKIP/WPA-PSK packets by Travoltus · · Score: 1

    Just wondering. I have a wireless router using WPA-PSK security with TKIP cipher type and a 24 character WPA passphrase and I was wondering if that can be hacked?

  4. offtopic...yay! by 42Penguins · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I recently started reading at -1 "uncut and raw" and it's pretty damn raw. Are posting privileges reduced/revoked based on IP, due to the overwhelming amount of AC trolls?

    Back to reading at +1...

  5. passive RFID eavesdropping from tens of feet by free2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    it seems that passive RFID eavesdropping is possible from tens of feet distance, rather scary if your RFID passport sends valuable ID information to a thief !

      Oh, by the way. These seem to be Lynn's exact slides as photographed by the people at DC13: http://164.106.251.250/docs/netsec/defcon13/7-27-0 5.zip Looks like he mostly just added funny images and took off ISS' name.

      These are the slides on the CD I assume. The CD differs greatly from what was presented in many cases and doesn't include many other slides.

      Also, you can get the original lynn slides at http://cryptome.org/lynn-cisco.zip.

  8. Defcon was fantastic by hoka · · Score: 2, Informative

    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.

    How would you capture a packet? More importantly, how would you make capturing a packet as difficult as possible?

    LOL about the shielded cable wireless trick. I'll tell that to a coworker, they won't get it for days!

    How about limiting the range? I could measure my house from end to end and restrict the range to that. Then someone might have to come up to my doorstep to tap me. :)
