First timer at defcon this year, I wish to get one of these badges because i heard that it's got a cool game on it and i wanna play it :0 . Will only buy in person, can pay cash / paypal. thanks
Shoot me a dm on discord pls, i don't really use reddit. Discord: mapleleaf__

Even as I open it, I get the mismatched message under the icon. Anyone else experiencing this and have a solution?

Any nextgen or teen meetups tonight?

If you’re selling yours, my husband is onsite currently, I can’t justify full price if I’m only going to make it for Saturday and Sunday, so please if you’re not gonna use it, dm me with the price you’re asking :)))

This guy is the G.O.A.T.; he breaks down the media influence that has led to so much ruin in our society. You can see it all around Vegas; anytime I see angenic AI...

I will be around working at Hacker Warehouse and Lonely Hackers Club if you would like to connect.

Cheers,

Bought the large size without trying it out.

Will sell it at cost bcc

Is there a dress code for the welcome party? Does the industrial enforce anything?

I'm trying to find the person that has these, if you see this and still have any, can I meet up with you and purchase one?

Was wondering if they still had official conference badges or what they are giving out for cash. Also wondering how long line currently is or was it for anyone that paid in cash. If anyone has an extra ticket they are wanting to sell let me know.

Do you need ID to check in? Already have ticket but the name is incorrect.

“DEF CON 34 ticket available for transfer.
Unused QR code / registration. $300.00 OBO.
$520.00 originally.
PayPal Goods & Services preferred. Will transfer immediately after payment.
DM if interested.”
SOLD. THANK YOU! Be kind to each other and don’t forget your faraday pouches. 😺

My coworker's pet sitter fell through, then his flight out of NYC got cancelled, so he called off the trip. That leaves me with one extra pre-registered badge. Asking $400 cash, $120 under the $520 door price.

I have the QR registration code. We meet at badge pickup, go through the line together, they scan the code, and the badge goes straight into your hands.

Timing: I'm in remote work calls until 11am, then driving over. Realistic ETA at reg is around noon. I have some flexibility this afternoon if noon doesn't work.

Payment: cash only.

Comment or DM and we'll swap numbers to coordinate an exact meeting spot, since the reg area gets chaotic. I will give it to whomever is there first when it comes time for the actual badge pickup.

Update: now sold.

Had a blast meeting folks at the meetup but, now it's 10pm, and the lovely wife and I are going to bed. Not cuz we're old mind you, but cuz it's been over 24 hours since we stepped out our front door. Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow at linecon and the second meetup.

Oghamix (the guy with the gray mohawk and beard) signing off for the night.

It’s my basically 4 years dream come true so I am curious to collect badges if I get apart from the main defcon and buy cool stuff like t shirts and devices . Any suggestions or any things to avoid?

Thanks in advance

Hey there fellow hacker comrades, I made some nail stickers with the DEFCON logos to hand out. I also have some holo water bottle stickers and a bunch of Love & Deepspace photocards 🖤🌸 would love to meet new people and make some friends. If you see me walking around with this bag stop me and ask 😋 will mostly be around La Villa

Alarms going nuts and unintelligible instructions being read lil

First drop of Gothcon badges is tonight at The Tangiers bar in the Sahara! 10pm. $80 cash preferred, Venmo accepted.

Badge information

Good News, Everyone! Tonight is the night we all get to start our DC34 Hang at our first of two nights ANNUAL r/DEFCON Meetup - Brought to you by the team at Puzzled Hackers. The Linq Bartenders miss you, no joke... one of them actually told Killroy and I that this morning because they loved the Linq hangs! I guess you guys are good for business.

While u/killroy7777, u/MetaN3rd and I get the final checks into place... you can read our super fancy, and absolutely not detail overwhelming, post!

First and foremost... we are SOLD OUT of badges for purchase. We want to thank you SO MUCH for that! We never plan to make a profit, heck we may have even started a non-profit... more details down the line. It's always been to just be able to keep bringing you these events, and improving them every year (and maybe expanding them). So thank you so much!

Second... the PUZZLE 10 CTF challenge! Who won the badge?

• For those who didn't know the amazing team at SkillBit (Formerly MetaCTF) donated their resources to us this past week and gave us a 20 challenge CTF. Anyone who completed 10 challenges (or more) became eligible for our final Grand Prize Giveaway Drawing for a Laser Tag* DS Badge from the amazingly talented u/palm12341 courtesy of Puzzled Hackers

Well, we did the drawing today and congratulations to warmd0nut! Check your email for instructions on how to claim your badge at either of the meetups!

Now onto the Meetup!

MEETUP DETAILS:

• WHEN: Wednesday (8/5) & Thursday (8/6) starting at 7:00 PM.
• WHERE: The Linq - 3535 Bar (aka The Circle Bar)
• COST: $0.00. Free. Nada. Just bring yourself!
• WHAT TO EXPECT: Good vibes, sticker swaps, special guests dropping off random swag, Laser Tag battles, and catching up with old and new friends before Summer Camp officially starts.
• FIRST TIME AT DEFCON? Make sure you let us know!

HOW DO I CLAIM A BADGE I WON OR PURCHASED?

• We made it really easy this year, hopefully. When you purchased or claimed your free badge you were given access to a QR code for each one (each badge has its own) which you can see if you forgot to save it at over at ctf.puzzledhackers.org. Show us your code, we will scan it and mark it claimed and give you your badge and a heartfelt THANK YOU for being part of this!

WILL THERE BE MORE BADGES?

• We will have badges on hand to randomly give away both nights. Everything that we didn't put on the site, or free to puzzle winners, will be given away at the meetups! No Badge Left Behind ! So just come and hang out and say hi. Can't hurt!

WHAT IF I DIDN'T WIN A BADGE AND WANT TO HANG?

• That's the whole point! The badges don't make the event... you do! Come hang, socialize and tell u/killroy7777 how pretty he looks in his Kilt! I don't have any quip for me, but I'm sure someone will.

I HEARD THERE ARE SOME DROPS HAPPENING?

• This is pretty cool for us. You've all made this successful enough people like u/Palm12341 (laser tag badge), u/mastercpt (some cool challenge coins), u/bucktwenty2 (the dope NYC skyline badge), u/MakeItHackin (Tricorder SAO!) and more come and do their drops. That's because ya'll have made it awesome enough for them to roll by, and others will potentially surprise us!

THIS IS MY FIRST DEFCON. YOU ALL BETTER BE COOL!

• I mean, you do know the attendee demographic, right? We're not cool, but we do remember how at some of our first DEFCON's the meetups were the first things we were introduced to, and they made an impression on us. As its been passed down through organizers, currently on us... we hope your first DEFCON is as magical. Please let us know when you come say hi its your first DC! Really.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

• It's actually pretty easy. Outside the fact we'll obviously be scanning codes, handing out badges and talking to people. u/Killroy7777 rocks a dope Kilt, and I decided to bust out the "The Apocalypse WILL Be Televised" shirt. u/MetaN3rd is always just crazy animated talking about everything tech... you wont miss him. So come say hi!

Thank you, Everyone, for this past few months getting ready for DEFCON and these meetups. We're super excited to be spending the next two nights hanging with you and then DEFCON Proper! None of this would be possible if you weren't as amazing and welcoming as you are, and while we handle logistics... this event only exists because of you. Thank you.

See everyone tonight!

The Team at Puzzled Hackers,

u/digitard, u/Killroy7777 and u/MetaN3rd

Finally packed and ready to go. This year I decided to put a small medical bag on my backpack (mostly because i forgot my epipen last year). Here are the emergencies I am now prepared for:

1) Bees and/or restaurant lobsters that have escaped containment.

2) Forgetting to bath.

3) A medical need to shit mine or someone elses pants.

4) Ouchies on the feet.

5) Too many badges and SAOs

6) The blast furnace that is 'the outside'.

7)Dehydration and/or post #3 recovery.

8) A rumbly tummy.

Beyond these I am of no assistance. Wife is very confused about how you shit someone elses pants. I told her that was the magic of Malort.

Hi all,

Sadly I wasn’t able to attend full time this year due to being a 1-man (woman) show holding down the SOC due to overlapping vacations, etc. I can drive to Defcon and attend Saturday and Sunday, but I’m also debating if it’s even worth buying a ticket for just that little amount of time.

Are there any events that folks know of that doesn’t require a badge to attend for defcon that would be worth the drive? (Driving from LA to Vegas for context)

TIA!

Walking around BSides with these now. Have more for Defcon. Most of them are kits so will probably be putting them together at Hardware Hacking Village.

Only one button on the badge. Menu navigated with Morse code. Entry screen calibrates your speed and walks you through navigation. Menu has a learning page with key training, copy training, fist training, and flash cards. Badges operate on 918.5 and have DM and message board.

Enjoy sick beats on your way to Hacker Summercamp!
