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.at.defcon.dot.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.

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. _ _ ((___)) [ x x ] cDc communications \ / Glorious Anniversary Announcement (' ') July 1st, 1996 (U) Est. 1984 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: sratte@mindvox.com CDC CELEBRATES TWELVE YEARS AS A CANDLE IN THE DARKNESS We knew it would happen.

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.
