Thousands of security professionals, hackers, federal agents and media
descended on Las Vegas this week to attend the Black Hat and Defcon
conferences. Both conferences exhibit the extremes of hacker and security
culture, with federal agents and major corporations descending on Black
Hat in large numbers and mohawk-styled hackers and Electronic Frontier
Foundation lawyers attending Defcon. Its like the difference between law
enforcement and pranksterism, where both have the object of protecting
freedom.
.
Defcon (spelled DEFCON and named after the old code for nuclear war, or
defense condition) is now in its 19th year. It was started in 1993 by Jeff
Moss, a hacker also known as Dark Tangent. Defcon began as a party for a
visiting Canadian hacker. Now it has become the big hacker event of the
year with more than 10,000 attendees. The Defcon conference is anything
but corporate. For many years, it was at the downscale Riviera Hotel and
this year it moved upscale to the larger Rio Hotel. Defcon is more
tolerant of alternative views, such as open support for Anonymous, the
hacktivist group that has launched denial of service attacks against major
corporations in the wake of corporations turning their backs on Wikileaks
and Sonys battle with hacker Geohot. One attendee said it was impossible
to find Guy Fawkes masks anywhere in Las Vegas, since the mask, like the
one worn above, since it is a symbol for Anonymous.
.
But Black Hat is now 15 years old and it draws more than 8,500 attendees
to the elegant Caesars Palace Hotel. Black Hat has plenty of dramatic
moments as the corporate, academic, government and indie hacker cultures
mesh and sometimes clash. Plenty of people go to both conferences. But
youll see more suits at Black Hat and more T-shirts at Defcon. You can pay
corporate rates at Black Hat, but at Defcon, they dont accept credit cards
since hackers do not want to be identified.
