Hacker Conventions Ranked By Bandwidth-Per-Visitor

Posted by timothy on from the elbowroom-is-too-hard-to-quantify dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "Ever wondered how much bandwidth you will get at a hacker con? This web page tells you how much. It shows the total bandwidth and bandwidth for each visitor for all the recent hacker cons." It looks like Defcon attendees get the short end of the stick, while those at metarheinmain chaosdays are practically swimming in bandwidth. There are a lot of other cons (a few examples listed here) which I'd like to see added to this list.

    While at DefCon, stay away from the ATMs and if at all possible stay away from the network entirely.

    I've heard the can hack those ATMs to steal your information if you even look at them!

    Ummm, it's a hacker convention- Why would they purchase their own bandwidth when there's wireless in the office above?
