Def Con is the Coachella of tech conferences.
Its an event kids go to to have fun with their friends.
They have game rooms and furry parades karaoke and cool badges!
And their website doesnt work.

Its not a serious event any more.
What are the real infosec conferences these days?
- SSchick 2y agoThe furry part is most certainly true.
- the_real_cher 2y agoAll of it is true.
- Sytten 2y agoHave you even attended? It is not a corporate event doesn't mean it is not serious. Real conf, what sort of gatekeeping is that. There is still zero days being dropped and you meet a lot of the smartest people in infosec.
- the_real_cher 2y ago"Gatekeeping"
- cdchn 2y agoThere are a ton of other infosec conferences where you'll meet just as many if not more of the smartest people, with a much better SNR.
- bitexploder 2y agoCansecwest, recon, there are tons of great, much smaller venues. Blackhat is more and more like RSA, and DC is more and more just a time to hang out with friends and catch up. The size of crowds is just unbelievable. My first DefCon was 18 years ago. It’s just so different.

- tptacek 2y agoBlack Hat is the "real" security conference that runs alongside DEF CON.
