If you are not satisfied with certain things in the world, and decided to use all possible ways to achieve your goals. Congratulations, you are becoming a hacker.
Those who dare to hack the impossible middle finger all over the world will gather in Las Vegas every year and participate in a grand party called DEFCON.
Technology, hacking, geeks, strange coffee, and alcohol, DEFCON appears in the memory and media description of the world with its unfathomable image. However, this defiant attitude has made DEFCON a lot of spirits including Chinese hackers. temple. As the saying goes, "If you are born, why not get rid of the shackles."
The United States local time on August 4, 2016 (Beijing time on August 5), this hacker Party started in 1993 is about to usher in the 24th reunion. To learn about the gathering of the global hackers No1, let’s take a look at the ten cold knowledge about it.
Many people are familiar with BlackHat, the world's top conference for hackers, but do not know that the founders of BlackHat and DEFCON are the same person - the famous hackers Jeff Moss. And, back in 1993, four years before BlackHat was founded, Jeff Moss created DEFCON. At that time, the world Internet took shape and DEFCON became the world’s first hacking party. Until today, it and BlackHat have been tied together to become the world's most hacking party.
As for the difference between the two, BlackHat is more inclined to gentle technical exchanges, and DEFCON tends to be more prone to punks.
The difference between the two styles is as follows:

[DEFCON]
2, DEF - take out your phone and see the button "3"Many people do not know the origin of DEFCON. Of course, "CON" generally represents the conference in English, but what is "DEF"?
Many people Baidu later told others that DEFCON is an abbreviation for Defense Condition. It symbolizes a hacking spirit. But Jeff Moss will tell you that you only guessed half right.
Take out the phone, open the virtual dial pad (if you are still using the Nokia candy bar function, then just look at the button just fine), look at the English letters under the "3". You will be surprised to find that it is "DEF." This represents the first year of 1993 when the DEFCON was opened.
In 1993, 18-year-old Jeff Moss faced a leave. One of his hacker friends was leaving the United States soon because of his father’s job transfer. “This is the time of the year. The high mountains and rivers are long. He meets on a daily basis, not only because of what age.†Jeff decided to hold a grand farewell party for his friend. After a long period of planning, everything was in place. However, things changed a bit: His friends left the United States in advance and there was no news.
Jeff decided to invite his other hacker friends and changed the “Party Party†to a “know Partyâ€. Jeff at the time did not expect it to happen. Twenty-four years later, the Party became a party. The "holy land" of hackers all over the world.

4, the strange crack is DEFCON logoHow can a hacking party get cracked? The top hacker's party, how to get a variety of wonderful crack.
Software cracking, hardware cracking, phone cracking, car cracking, drone cracking, cracking of everything that can be cracked. At previous gatherings, hackers tried to create Wi-Fi with the longest link distance; the game could quickly turn a beer into cold beer under Las Vegas's hot sun.
In the past two decades, in addition to the classic projects, DEFCON has gradually developed different games. In these competitions, the organizing committee will select the champion of a project and award a top honor - a black badge. Because of the importance of the CTF Contest (Captured Flags), which is the hacking team's offensive and defensive tactics, the black badge is often awarded to the CTF's final championship.
This black badge is not just a superb honor, but his winner will also have the privilege of participating in this life and never having to pay for tickets. According to DEFCON’s equal US$240 ticket count. If a hacker spends the rest of his life in the sixty years of attending DEFCON every year, then the black badge is worth at least $14,400.
Sad news: The badge cannot be transferred.
An important temperament of the hacker spirit is equality and anonymity. Therefore, this grand Party only accepts on-the-spot tickets for single-handedly handed-in delivery. All requests for appointments, online tickets or requests for ticket purchases will be rejected by the Organizing Committee.
Of course, there is no precedent for not collecting money because you are a government official and a big coffee company. When Will Smith went to DEFCON to experience life as a hacker, the organizing committee said: Sorry, please buy a ticket.
As long as you are 21 years of age and meet the Nevada drinking rules, you can participate in all activities with a bottle of wine, including speeches, CTFs, cracked exchanges, craps, and pool parties.
Of course, if you drink too much in the garden or pool, it will be a challenge for your life. There are several consequences:
The best situation is that nobody wants you.
The middle ending is that your face is full of Tintin,
The worse outcome is that you don’t have anything worth the money.
The worst outcome is that your most precious thing is gone. . .
DEFCON is both a paradise for hackers and a place where the FBI and the police take care.
At DEFCON in 2001, a Russian hacker was directly arrested for cracking Adobe's e-book format.
In 2008, three students from MIT spoke a topic at DEFCON and shared how to break through the technology of the Boston subway system. The name of the topic was: "Do you want to take the subway for free in your lifetime?"
However, this matter was soon discovered by the Traffic Management Department of the State of Massachusetts. They have filed a prosecution against these hackers.
Because the reputation of DEFCON is too great, many hackers will be threatened by stakeholders before DEFCON publishes the cracked results.
9, hackers are also black Tigers also have time to fight.
In 2009, an ATM was placed in the casino of the conference center. Many hackers chose to collect cash here. As everyone knows, this is a fishing ATM machine. The information of numerous hackers was stolen.
It seems that the mutual harm between hackers is also merciless.
Said that DEFCON is a hacker's party around the world. How do you get the Chinese hackers?
In the 2015 DEFCON CTF, three Chinese teams scored the top six, namely HITCON, Blue Lotus and 0ops. In the speech session, five hackers from the 360 ​​shared their cracked results with the world. .
At DEFCON in 2016, there were also many Chinese hackers who had strong inserts.
There are many more cool things about DEFCON. It was because of the hackers' indecision and wildness that they created such a shocking Party. Twenty-four years later, fresh meat hackers have now become uncles, and DEFCON is still as worth looking forward to as it was then.
Who knows what pose these crazy hackers will use to crack the world?
