If there's no afterparty, how can we be sure there was a party at all?

Fortunately, there is an afterparty. And it’s at the Liv in the extremely swanked out Fontainebleau.

Your badge gets you admission and a free drink. Doors open at 10:30.

See you there.

GOOD MORNING!

Registration is OPEN

Merch is OPEN (cash only)

DEF CON 34 is GO!

Let the wild rumpus start, people.

Good morning DEF CON! All of the #DefCon 34 files have gone live on https://media.defcon.org/ including workshop files, presentations, badge files, music and even the Hardware Hacking Village's special Linux distribution loaded with useful tools.

The same files are also available on the local convention media server https://dc34-media.defcon.org as well as the complete DEF CON archives of past talks for your local leeching pleasure.

It’s been a whole year. Let’s get reacquainted at the DEF CON welcome party!
Join us at The Industrial from 6:30 - 11:30pm Thursday for good music and the reliably immaculate DEF CON vibes.

We have transportation covered with shuttles running from the LVCC to the party all night.

Let’s go0o0!

The wait is over. Meet the #DEFCON34 badge!

It’s the creation of hardware superstar Bunnie Huang, and it features his open-source, fully inspectable #baochip.

#DC34 badgeholders will be the first to get their hands on a radically transparent device with all kinds of powerful possibilities - security token, password manager, HSM, pretty light generator - that we hope will keep you busy long after closing ceremonies.

What will you make with yours?

Meta-style glasses with recording capabilities are prohibited at DEF CON. Surreptitious filming is an invasion of privacy, and will be treated as a CoC violation. There is no exception for recording glasses with prescription lenses. Be sure to pack non-violating eyewear if you need them.

If you must take pictures, use recognizable personal photo equipment like a smart phone so that your intentions are clear. Get affirmative permission from the faces in your frame. Please refer to our official Photo and code of conduct policies for more.

The safety of our community is our highest priority.

For this reason, we have decided to postpone DEF CON Middle East. The evolving security situation in the region makes it impossible to concentrate on delivering the experience attendees deserve.

We understand that this news is disappointing, but we believe it’s the most responsible choice right now. We look forward to bringing the full DEF CON experience to friends new and old in Bahrain, and we will share new dates and information as soon as they are confirmed.

In the meantime, we’d like to offer our sincere thanks to the community, sponsors, and supporters for their understanding and continued trust. We hope and expect to welcome you to DEF CON Middle East soon, under better circumstances for everyone.

-The DEF CON Middle East Team

#defconmovienight has a classic on tap for Saturday night. Join us at 8pm PDT Saturday for the ‘not-quite-fictional-enough’ Gattaca. We’ll be recovering from painful shin-lengthening surgery in the movie-night-text channel of the #defcon Discord (discord.gg/defcon). See you there.
