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."
Is this where your penis size gets mentioned? :P :P
Anyways, to everyone else out there, this was during one of the Defcon presentations, by Vanna Vinyl. You just had to be there.

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 !
There is a nice mirror of the presentations at: http://164.106.251.250/docs/netsec/defcon13/ For those that want to see the slides.

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.
