Defcon 14 review

Defcon is over, I must say the european conferences are totally different. Very different atmosphere, I prefer the European conferences actually.

However I did meet alot of interesting people that I had known for a while but had never met before, I also met alot of new cool people. So the trip out to Vegas was definitely worth it.

I was disappointed with the organisation of Defcon though, looked very amateuristic: they ran out of badges, programs, just about everything. They had some replacement badges luckily, but they didn't print out any extra programs or anything. There were also no TVs showing the talks anywhere. The organization of CCC is alot more professional.

Anyway because of the lack of programs and basically because the program wasn't very interesting I only ended up going to one talk (basically because I knew the guys speaking): Fun with 802.11 Device Drivers by Johnny Cache and David Maynor, where they talk about hacking into computers by using bugs in the wireless device drivers. Because they are still waiting for Apple (and possibly other vendors) to fix their software, no technical details were released.
