If you were a blackhat, burning a 0-day at DEFCON would be a huge waste. You probably wouldn't get anything interesting, and chances are someone would catch it.

- saagarjha 6y agoA lot of people burn zero days for cred.
- Kalium 6y agoAt DEFCON, it'd be a job interview. Assuming you are looking to work for Raytheon or similar.
- tptacek 6y agoYou don't need to do any kind of performative hacking to get a job at Raytheon.
- Kalium 6y agoNope, you definitely do not. It would definitely get the attention of some vulnerability development types! But there are also more professional - if occasionally less fun - ways to go about that. If memory serves, the "open" network has seen novel attacks used in years past. But not many.
- p1necone 6y agoIt would be fun though
- jjoonathan 6y agoAnd even more importantly, it might prove somebody wrong about something.
