This is _not_ the professional sounding announcement. Use that one to con
|
||
|
your boss / employers out of the cost of the trip. The professional
|
||
|
announcement will be available on the FTP site and other more serious mailing
|
||
|
lists and news groups, etc. This is the k-RaD kriminal shout out to all u
|
||
|
el1te hacker types that aren't in jail to attend 'da def con. werd.

What's this? This is an initial announcement and invitation to DEF CON III,
|
||
|
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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
WHO: You know who you are, you shady characters.
|
||
|
WHAT: A convention for you to meet, party, and listen to some speeches
|
||
|
that you would normally never get to hear from some k-rad people.
|
||
|
WHEN: August 4, 5, 6 - 1995 (Speaking on the 5th and 6th)
|
||
|
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada @ The Tropicana Hotel
|
||
|
|
||
|
So you heard about DEF CON II, and want to hit part III? 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!
|
||
|
|
||
|
What's been said (Only the good stuff will be quoted, of course)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Stevyn - "What can eye say, it was intense! . . . the whole con just
|
||
|
kicked ass! I totally recommend you check out the next one."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Gail Thackeray, Prosecutor, "It's partly an entertaining party, it's
|
||
|
partly a fashion statement. But it's mostly something about which the
|
||
|
business world has no clue."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Wendy Murdock, Boardwatch, "Def Con represents the tug-of-war that has
|
||
|
always been present - people strive to get that which is just out of
|
||
|
reach, aggravating governments and breaking rules in the process."
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
WHERE IT IS:
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Tropicana has rooms reserved for the convention. Rooms are expensive.
|
||
|
They are even more expensive if you don't book under the convention. If it
|
||
|
is to expensive for you, please see the section below on Las Vegas WWW sites
|
||
|
that can provide you with information on other nearby hotels that are cheaper.
|
||
|
Check-in is 3 pm, check-out time is 12 noon. Remember there is an 8% sales
|
||
|
tax in Vegas.
|
||
|
|
||
|
65$ Single or Double room, Midweek (Monday - Thursday)
|
||
|
90$ Single or Double room, Weekend (Friday - Sunday)
|
||
|
350$ One-Bedroom Suite (Call for Availability)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Tropicana, 3801 Las Vegas Blvd. So., Las Vegas, Nevada, 89109
|
||
|
(702) 739-2581 or (800) 468-9494 or (702) 739-2448 (Fax)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Held in three conference rooms at the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas, DEF CON
|
||
|
promises to be interesting. The Tropicana has a huge pool (largest in the
|
||
|
world? Anyway, lots of cool movies have been filmed with this pool in them)
|
||
|
and in August Vegas should be about 100(f) degrees at one in the morning.
|
||
|
What do you care? You'll be wired on caffeine and not sleeping anyway. There
|
||
|
are numerous attractions in town from the strip bars to the local COs in case
|
||
|
you seek distraction.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Tropicana is located right on the "Strip" with the other three corners of
|
||
|
the street occupied by the MGM Grand (Largest hotel in the world), the
|
||
|
Excalibur, and the Luxor (The big sense-net pyramid). If you can afford it
|
||
|
I totally recommend spending some extra time in town.. there are too many
|
||
|
cool things to do, especially if you have never visited. Heck, last time I
|
||
|
got to rent and fire uzi's and MP-5 machine guns (OK, so you can do that for
|
||
|
cRacK in Los Angeles) see some strippers, and drink 1$ bottles of imported
|
||
|
beer. What a place! Now you know why I chose Vegas for a location.

3rd ANNUAL SPOT THE FED CONTEST
|
||
|
Spot the fed, win the shirt
|
||
|
|
||
|
"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 MB (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 generate over this convention. I won't turn in
|
||
|
any feds who contact me, they have to be spotted by others.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
TELEPHONE CONFERENCE BRIDGE (801-855-3326)
|
||
|
|
||
|
For DEF CON III there will be a dial in conference set up. If you are
|
||
|
overseas, or just too poor to make it to the convention this year, you can
|
||
|
still get an idea of what is going on and participate. One part of the voice
|
||
|
conference equipment will allow you to listen to the convention room
|
||
|
microphone, another will allow you to ask questions during the Q&A sections
|
||
|
of peoples speeches. A general conversation area will be up so you can chat
|
||
|
with others at the convention, or just others dialed into the bridge.
|
||
|
Navigate through the voice mail maze and get free phone sex! Impress others!
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Voice bridge is up now at 801-855-3326. It has 5 analog ports, but in a
|
||
|
few weeks will have eight digital ports for better sound, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SPOOAH DOOPAH RAFFLE GIVE AWAY!@#
|
||
|
|
||
|
Throughout the convention, between speakers and events there will be a raffle
|
||
|
giveaway in which if your number is drawn, you win the prize. Last year's
|
||
|
giveaway included an ancient kaypro monochrome portable, a roll of Sprint
|
||
|
"security" tape, "Computer Warriors" evil anti-virus cartoon, a 240 meg IDE
|
||
|
HD, and other elite things.
|
||
|
|
||
|
>> All the prizes given away are donated by other convention goers, so if <<
|
||
|
>> you have any stuff to give away, please save and donate it to the con! <<
|
||
|
|
||
|
RED BOX BUILDING CONTEST
|
||
|
|
||
|
While we don't encourage or condone the use of toll fraud devices, we do
|
||
|
encourage creativity and expression of thought. We combine these and come
|
||
|
up with a red box creating contest. The final device doesn't have to
|
||
|
produce the real red box tones (can't have people getting arrested) BUT it
|
||
|
does have to produce some audible tones, any kind of tones. This contest
|
||
|
is inspired by last year's give away of a red box "Big Red" that looked just
|
||
|
like a big pack of Big Red gum, but really was a red box. Elite! There was
|
||
|
also a little girl's doll that was a red box, but the switch for that one was
|
||
|
hidden under the dress and, well, it just wasn't given away.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Come up with unique ideas! With just a Hallmark card and some spare time you
|
||
|
can create an elite 007 style tone generating device! What will you win if
|
||
|
yours is chosen as the most k-rad besides the envy of fellow hackers? You'll
|
||
|
get a tee shirt and the cost of admission to the convention refunded PLUS
|
||
|
some as-of-yet undecided prize. I bet you just can't wait to burn your
|
||
|
fingers with your soldering iron now!
|
||
|
|
||
|
THE VIDEO ROOM
|
||
|
|
||
|
In one of the rooms a LCD wall projector will be hooked up connected to a
|
||
|
VCR, and people can bring flicks to play. Stuff like Max Headroom, War Games
|
||
|
etc. You know, the cool cheesey stuff. Also some "hacker" videos will be
|
||
|
shown. If you have something you wanna show, bring it along. When the
|
||
|
projector is needed in the main conference room it will be swiped for the
|
||
|
duration.
|
||
|
|
||
|
COOL VIDEO SHIT
|
||
|
|
||
|
At this time we are working to see if a T1 connection is possible. If it is
|
||
|
there will be a cu-see me connection set up with multiple video cameras in
|
||
|
various locations. Images will also be added automatically to a WWW page for
|
||
|
people to snag. As all this works itself out there will be further
|
||
|
announcements. No, there will be no "Hack our server" contests, and there
|
||
|
will be "Security Professionals" with "Diagnostic Tools" to "Correct" any
|
||
|
people who may cause the network problems.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SCAVENGER CONTEST
|
||
|
|
||
|
A scavenger contest is being planned. The person or group with the most
|
||
|
number of items on the list wins the prize. (Prize undetermined as of yet)
|
||
|
and there will be a few follow up prizes. Don't forget to carry massive
|
||
|
amounts of water as you run about the concrete jungle, dehydration can
|
||
|
happen just crossing the street. This is a contest for only the most k-rad.
|
||
|
|
||
|
GROUP BATTLE TECH SIMULATIONS AT VIRTUAL WORLD
|
||
|
|
||
|
DEF CON has reserved groups of Battle Tech Pods on Friday and Saturday in
|
||
|
order for people at the convention to battle it out in total VR mech-combat.
|
||
|
There will be two teams, the White Hats and Black Hats, who will oppose
|
||
|
eachother. Each pod group <currently> consists of 8 pods, so it would be
|
||
|
4 on 4 or we might join pod groups to make it an 8 on 8 battle. In any
|
||
|
event you need to reserve you space in the pod battle groups if you want in
|
||
|
on the group action. There will be battles going on Friday and Saturday
|
||
|
before 5pm. Cost is $25 for one hour of simulation per person. Currently
|
||
|
there are three pod groups of eight each open on Friday and two eight pod
|
||
|
groups open on Saturady. As people sign up DEF CON will reserve more pod
|
||
|
groups if there is demand.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are to chicken to get in on the group battle action there will also
|
||
|
be a DEF CON group discount rate.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are interested in signing up for a seat in the group e-mail me the
|
||
|
day you want to participate and I will mail you back your log in name. Give
|
||
|
preference of White or Black hat status. You will need to pay the $25 in
|
||
|
advance to reserve your space. Open spaces will be filled on a first come,
|
||
|
first serve basis, and also during the con there _should_ be spaces available.
|
||
|
The intent is get good con battle groups going. A full battle tech info pack
|
||
|
will be availbe on the FTP site soon, as well as in future announcements and
|
||
|
on the mailing list.

DEF CON III will be planned right up until the last minute, with problems
|
||
|
being fixed and new things being added all along.. a sort of work in progress
|
||
|
that you get to witness in person when you show up. Hopefully it won't be
|
||
|
too messed up when presented to the public. What can you do to help?
|
||
|
|
||
|
=> Please help generate questions for Hacker Jeopardy. Come up with some
|
||
|
questions and answers, and Winn will decide which ones to use. Mail 'em
|
||
|
to winn@infowar.com.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- -> We are looking for people to speak on Personnel Information Gathering and
|
||
|
selling. Hopefully a speaker (who could remain anonymous) in this area
|
||
|
has experiences in gathering and selling such information. If you know
|
||
|
of such a person, please invite them to contact me or let them know we
|
||
|
are looking for such speakers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- -> We are looking for some people to submit artwork to be used in the
|
||
|
convention someplace. It could be a poster, or in the program. Black
|
||
|
and white art would be eligible for the program only.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- -> Articles and interesting FTP sites, WWW pages, mini FAQs, etc. are all
|
||
|
wanted for the program. Quality articles that are informative and apply
|
||
|
to the theme of the convention. Scanner frequency lists,
|
||
|

|
||
|
words of one famous (and abused) phone system: "Sit up straight, PAY
|
||
|
ATTENTION, Listen to what your being told. (Now try again)" (Whoever can
|
||
|
identify that phone system first gets in free)

WHY IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT SIGNED?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, last year it came to my attention that some unknown person in
|
||
|
California had modified an announcement and was having people mail their
|
||
|
pre-registration money to them instead. It was actually pretty funny. Only
|
||
|
one person was fooled and lost 10$. Not bad. I knew something was up when
|
||
|
he said he had pre-registered for 10$ and had the receipt I had supposedly
|
||
|
mailed back. I am never that organized! To avoid potential problems like
|
||
|
this one please verify this announcement!@# My key is available for
|
||
|
verification on public key servers, and my key-id is 46A8294D. The
|
||
|
other key you will find on servers may be my older 1284bit key, which is
|
||
|
still good, but just not used to sign this text.
