DEF CON IV Will be held for the fourth time in Las Vegas. Heck, they are
building the hotels faster than we can use them up. If you don't know much
about Def Con, please check out the web site [www.defcon.org] and you will get an
idea.
MEDIA SPOTLIGHT:--------------------------------------------------------------
See what the all knowing media has to say about DEF CON:
Despised by Tsutomu "Shimmi" Shimomura - ".. Defcon, a bizarre gathering of
anklebiters, telecom industry security people, and undoubtedly a few cops.."
- Takedown p. 136
"By day, speakers discussed privacy on the net and computer viruses and the
hacking scene in Europe. By night, they gathered in hotel rooms and at
casino bars to swap tales of hacking prowess, to dump on the new and
clueless.." -The Cyberthief and the Samurai p. 145
IN SHORT:---------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT: Speakers and partying in Vegas for all hackers
WHEN: July 26 - 28th
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada @ the Monte Carlo Hotel
COSTS: $30 in advance, $40 at the door
MORE INFO: http://www.defcon.org or email info@defcon.org
IN LONG:----------------------------------------------------------------------
(The following is mostly pirated from last year's announcement.. I'll update
it when I feel creative)
Hey, it's time for DEF CON again. This is an initial announcement and
invitation to DEF CON IV, a convention for the "underground" elements of the
computer culture. We try to target the (Fill in your favorite word here):
Hackers, Phreaks, Hammies, Virii Coders, Programmers, Crackers, Cyberpunk
Wannabees, Civil Liberties Groups, CypherPunks, Futurists, Artists, Criminally
Insane, Hearing Impaired. It seems that books about the culture are becoming
more popular, so of course reporters are also welcome. You won't be hurt.
I promise.
So you heard about DEF CON III, and want to hit part IV? You heard about the
parties, the info discussed, the bizarre atmosphere of Las Vegas and want to
check it out in person? You want to do weird shit _away_ from the hotel
where you can't get me in trouble? Then you're just the person to attend!
Sure it's great to meet and party with fellow hackers, but besides that we
try to provide information and speakers in a forum that can't be found at
other conferences. While there is an initial concern that this is just
another excuse for the evil hackers to party and wreak havoc, it's just
not the case. People come to DEF CON for information and for making
contacts. We strive to distinguish this convention from others in that
respect. Plus this year we have official DEF CON GOONS(c) who will pummel
you until you pass out should you cause problems for other con.friendly
people! Big Brother loves you!
Top Ten reasons to attend Defcon 4
by Pappy 023ndorph
10. There are new hotels and PBX operators who've never heard of us.
9. You swore one year you'd see a speaker. This could be the year.
8. Even pit bosses and bondsmen can forget a face after a year.
7. That guy that told you to fuck off in IRC will be there.
6. You miss the 107 degree evenings.
5. Hookers take credit cards.
4. You go where the no-day eurowarez go.
3. We've got to find the 20+ MIA's from last year.
2. Everyone else is going, follow the heard. Moo.
1. The unbridled smut.
SPEAKERS:---------------------------------------------------------------------
Speakers in the past have included Gail Thackeray, Phill Zimmermann, Bruce
Schneier, Susan Thunder, Jim Settle, and many others. Who will we have this
year? Well as usual the actual list is always changing, but below will be
the current state of the speakers. There will be speaking all day Saturday

for their actions, he believes that hackers can "outgrow their
ignorance and be valuable members of the information security
community."

cross connect boxes, and the many uses of liquid solder. The use of a
cell phone as an eavesdropping device.
[> Hack the Lies Project - "Hack The Lies" was created to give a voice to
the once-silent hacker community. Over the years, popular misconceptions
have arisen about the hacking community and its motives, which are now
taken as fact by the general populace. "Hack The Lies" is here to
dispel this misinformation and to educate the public on who we are,
what we do, why we do it, and more. Come join us for discussion during
Defcon IV and make your views known.

and commerce. He will address the concerns that corporations and
individuals will face doing business electronically over the next five
years.
[> Dan Veeneman - Decode Systems - Something along the lines of "Satellite
Vulnerabilities: Present and Future", talking about controlling
satellites, jamming and spoofing, GPS systems, future LEO systems, etc.

EVENTS:-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLY COW:
While not really an event, the Holy Cow is sponsoring DEF CON this
year with massive doses of their great beer! That's right! If you
are over 21 you get a free beer ticket. Tickets will be randomly
given away on Friday and Saturday. Over 900 tickets will be
available!
HACKER JEOPARDY:
Winn is back, bigger and badder with Hacker Jeopardy. The Holy Cow
will help supply the beer, you supply the answers. Extra secret
bonus round, and an elite challenge round make this year even better.
The first round starts at 12 midnight o'clock on Friday and lasts
until it is done. The second and secret rounds will happen Saturday
at midnight.
6 teams will be picked at random and compete for the final round.
There can be only one! Strat's Team, the winners from last year
will defend if all the members can be found.
Each team member must chug a beer before beginning the round.
CAPTURE THE FLAG:
Killer Prizes! Dollars to be won! Round up the posse (so to speak)
for it's time to bust root!
OK, these probably aren't going to be the last set of rules
or explanations, but they're better than what's on the web site.
What's still true:
The capture the flag network is still going to have 5-9 dedicated
machines. These machines will be running a variety of operating
systems. The network is going to be connected to the Internet by way
of a firewall. One machine on the net will be a terminal server for
serial connections and people connecting from the Internet.
What's changed:
everything else.
Seriously:
The goal of the contest isn't to put messages on the console displays.
Instead every machine will have a file on it called root.flag or
root.flg To capture the flag, put your tag in that file. Putting
messages on the console was too easy on some OSes, plus it would
interfere with playing Quake.
The new simplified rules:
1)No hacking from the console.
2)No disabling any host for more than 3 minutes or the network for
more than 30 seconds. A host is considered down if a Defcon Goon
can't access a host and read the root.flag file.
3) No crashing the terminal server.
4) In order to be in the contest, you have to sign up your name(s)
and an email address on a web page we'll have set up. Otherwise
it just gets too complicated figuring out who's actually winning.
(Remember, the whole Internet can play)
The Prizes:
Dark Tangent is in charge of handing out prizes, and also of telling
me what they are.
Added attractions:
About half of the machines on the net will be running Quake on the
console. Bring your own quake machine to join in the fun.
Port-scan poker, hacking with a Las Vegas theme (details to be
figured out at the last minute)
About 6 gigs of file space for all your 0day needs.
VIRTUAL WORLD:
We will have a discount at Virtual World, and you will be able to
play the various Red Planet or Battle Mech games. Full pod
immersion! Up to eight people/pods per group. Virtual World will
give any DEF CON IV attendee a $2 discount on any and every game.
Just show 'em your name badge and your in!
NET CONNECTION:
This year I am going with multiple ISDN 128k connections. About 2 of
them in fact. One will be used for Hack Net so outsiders can
participate, two will be used for Warez net and the remainder I'm
not sure yet.. maybe for doing a cu see me reflector site. If you
want to connect to the network make sure to bring a computer with
a 10 base T (10bt) Ethernet card to plug into our hubs. Don't
forget to bring weird connectors and stuff, those always seem to
come in handy. I would have gone T1 like last year, but the cost
increased by like $500 and there was no way!
4th ANNUAL SPOT THE FED CONTEST:
The ever popular paranoia builder. Who IS that person next to you?
"Like a paranoid version of pin the tail on the donkey, the
favorite sport at this gathering of computer hackers and phone
phreaks seems to be hunting down real and imagined telephone
security and Federal and local law enforcement authorities who the
attendees are certain are tracking their every move.. .. Of course,
they may be right."
- John Markhoff, NYT
Basically the contest goes like this: If you see some shady MIB
(Men in Black) earphone penny loafer sunglass wearing Clint Eastwood
to live and die in L.A. type lurking about, point him out. Just get
my attention and claim out loud you think you have spotted a fed.
The people around at the time will then (I bet) start to discuss the
possibility of whether or not a real fed has been spotted. Once
enough people have decided that a fed has been spotted, and the
Identified Fed (I.F.) has had a say, and informal vote takes place,
and if enough people think it's a true fed, or fed wanna-be, or
other nefarious style character, you win a "I spotted the fed!"
shirt, and the I.F. gets an "I am the fed!" shirt.
NOTE TO THE FEDS: This is all in good fun, and if you survive
unmolested and undetected, but would still secretly like an "I am
the fed!" shirt to wear around the office or when booting in doors,
please contact me when no one is looking and I will take your
order(s). Just think of all the looks of awe you'll generate at
work wearing this shirt while you file away all the paperwork
you'll have to produce over this convention. I won't turn in any
feds who contact me, they have to be spotted by others.
HINTS FOR FEDS: A few hints so you can survive longer. (1) If you
have to carry a firearm, don't use the "Gunnysacks." The butt packs
are easy to spot with their long zippers. (2) Try not to have a
military style haircut. Dead giveaways. (3) Use of the word
"Affirmative" and "Negative" don't help your undercover personae.
(4) Drink a lot. I mean A LOT. No one will suspect you as a
drunken agent of law enforcement! (this is one of my better tips.)
One whole slew of feds was spotted by someone when the feds'
supervisor came into the hall and mentioned to their companion "One
of my guys was already spotted." Doh! The contest winner just
followed him to his group, and won their shirt with FOX Television
from L.A. filming the whole thing. The spotted feds were cool with
it, accepting their shirts.. but I think they left early.

Here is a brief review of the new Stratosphere Hotel Gseven posted to the
mailing list: .. There is no gambling in the tower, although there is a
"Stratosphere Casino" on the ground. The "King Kong" ride is part of phase
two, and has not been built yet. By all reports, the "Let It Ride" roller
coaster is a major yawner. The "Big Shot" by all reports is pretty wild,
and is described as a reverse bungee jump. Contrary to the other report,
you don't get "hauled" up and "dropped". You get shot up, by a giant
slingshot but tethered by a rubber band. Supposedly if you manage to open
your eyes at the top and are facing the right direction, you can see Lake
Mead.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP?----------------------------------------------------------
Here is what you can do if you want to help out or participate in
some way:
Donate stuff for the continuous give-aways and the various contests.
Got extra ancient stuff, or new cool stuff you don't use anymore?
Donate it to a good cause! One person was very happy over winning
an osborne "portable" computer.
ORGANIZE sharing a room or rides with other people in your area.
Join the mailing list and let people know you have floor space or
some extra seats in your car. Hey, what's the worst that can
happen besides a trashed hotel room or a car-jacking?
CREATE questions for hacker jeopardy (you know how the game is
played) and email them to winn@infowar.com. No one helped out last
year, so this year let's try. Everything from "Famous narks" to
"UNIX bugs" is fair game.
BRING a machine with a 10bt interface card, and get on the local
network, trade pgp signatures, etc.
