I’ve shown up at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for DEF con 21. Over the next couple of days, I’ll be speaking about what I get as much as here.

The primary event today is registration, which implies getting a neat badge. This year’s badge was developed by [Ryan Clarke]. According to the DEF con booklet, they are “non-electronic-electronic” badges this year, as well as DEF con will be alternating between electronic badges every other year.

The playing card style is printed on a PCB, as well as utilizes the silkscreen, solder mask, as well as copper layers to offer three colors for the artwork. The badge is a crypto challenge, featuring some cryptic characters, numbers, as well as an XOR gate. I don’t have any type of concepts about it yet, however some people are already working difficult on cracking the code.

Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to a few talks including one on hacking cars and trucks that we discussed earlier, as well as one on decapping chips. I’ll likewise be inspecting out a few of the villages. The Tamper apparent village is premiering this year, as well as they’ll be showing off a range of tamper proofing tech. I’ll likewise try to get to the Beverage Cooling Contraption Contest, where competitors develop gadgets to great beverages (ie, beer) as rapidly as possible.

If you have any type of DEF con tips, let me understand in the comments.
