Defcon 14 Full of Amazing Hardware Hacks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the best-and-brightest dept.

nTrfAce writes "Defcon 14 is taking place right now in Las Vegas. You know it's serious when you see things like an IPV6 enabled refrigerator with an IP address of 1337:sec:badd:a22:DEF:C012::14. And of course using a rocket for war driving, er WarRocketing. And Joe Grand has created the absolutely coolest Defcon badge ever out of a PCB, PIC, and LEDs."

      NICE CATCH!

      I was going to complain it wasn't a global unicast address (2000::/16 - 3fff::/16) but yours was better. I suppose they meant it to be 5EC instead of sec which would have been more 31337.

      Oh well... Good job...

      Damn... Even got mod points and I can't both mod and post/reply... Sigh... >;-P

    Defcon should call up slashdot and ask where to send the award for the 'DoS attack' war game since obviously they won by ./'ing the defcon site.

  13. my favirote LED badge... by Lumpy · · Score: 5, Funny

    I ordered one with IR led's instead and place it on a hat. I have it scroll "Fuck OFF Security GUYS!" so only the people watching the security cameras can read it.

    Quite fun to get accosted by someone that comes down to ask me about my profanity on my hat to get me looking at them with it in my hand going "What?? this has not worked for weeks." while showing them a blank screen, and I walk away. Security are typically way to stupid to understand Infared let alone CCD camera sensitivity to IR.

    IT's fun. it also set's off movie "camera detectors" everytime.

      Either that or you are the idot. Think this through, security is going to show up, question you and guess you just turned the thing off and toss you out. Nobody is going care about your side of the story in the first place if you complain about the treatment you get, and they won't beleive you either that there was nothing display becuase the security tape WILL show otherwise. Now you could go on to explain your little prank to them but they hey what was the point again?
