The last time I went to Defcon, someone drove the security golf cart into the pool. Others were flushing bags of concrete down the toilet. There's damage, and then there is Defcon.
- throwawaymath 8y agoWhy the hell do people act like that at the conference? That sounds like children running amok, not a security conference.
- snarfy 8y agoThe age requirement for Defcon is 18. There is also a large cross section of counter culture and drug culture. There were many parties happening. I recall smoking salvia out of a hooka, which later tipped and burned the bed sheets. A random guy came in to the party with a 50 gallon trash bag full of dried salvia.
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoNo, defcon has no age requirement.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoBecause it's defcon, not blackhat. Defcon is the Saturday before graduation at a frat house. Blackhat is a the 4th of July at a country club.
- teddyh 8y agoCould someone translate that from American to European for us non-US residents, please?
- Sohcahtoa82 8y agoFrat houses[1] are known for having a lot of parties. This partying will crescendo around the university's graduation date. DEFCON is being compared to one of these peak parties. Black Hat is a bit more subdued. It costs a lot more to attend Black Hat. Black Hat parties are more like casual social gatherings. I believe that in Europe, country clubs are more likely to be called gentlemen's clubs. In either case, it's usually the richer people attending.
