Closing comments by jonnyx Tell jonnyX why he sucks, why PhreakNIC sucked, and how you can do a better job next year, etc., while the nice men in the white suits fit him for his new jacket with the extra-long sleeves (assuming the *other* nice chaps in the blue uniforms and/or the expensive suits with matching dark glasses & wires trailing out of their ears haven't hauled him away already for rioting, ringleading and otherwise pissing off powerful people). Sunday, 4:00PM to 5:00PM |

Cracking DSS by Woofus Digital Satellite System TV signals are beamed onto your property, into your house and even through your body 24hrs/day, whether you use these services or not. Some people experiment passively with these signals, and might even see some descrambled TV in the process. This talk will focus on some of the hardware and software used in the descrambling process. There will be handouts and a computer setup to demonstrate associated smartcard reader/writer software. For legal purposes, no cards will actually be programmed, but panelists will go through most of the motions. Saturday, 6:00PM to 7:00PM More info via www.scramblingnews.com |

"Hackers: the Movie" drinking game
Join us as we combine sensitive and insightful MST3K-style
commentary with blood-alcohol poisoning, MPAA copyright-infringement, and possible curfew
violations in a fun game for the whole family! Be the first to spot a technical innacuracy
by shouting "Bullshit!" (or some other expletive) at the top of your lungs, and everyone
else takes a drink. But be careful! If you incorrectly call bs on some portion of the plot,
YOU must take a drink while everyone laughs, points at you, throws small objects and forces
you to use AOL. Please have legal ID for proof-of-age handy. Disputes will be settled by
humiliating contests made up on the spot by con staff. No vomiting, please. Winner is the
last person conscious, their prize is aspirin and coffee in the morning. In the unlikely
event the movie actually ends with more than one person still conscious, um, well, we're
not sure - that's never happened before. Friday, 11:00PM until only one participant is left conscious or the movie ends, whichever comes first. Other MST3K links! |

IFJ's c64 video *note* - the following description was lifted blatantly from the DefCon Multi Media Archives
C-64 Cracks, Tools, and Demos - by Iron Feather Journal. Saturday, 11:00PM to Sunday, 1:00AMish Be sure to check out IFJ's table in the vendor's room.
You can also check out the video via Real Player Plus in RTSP or PNM mode
(port 554 or 7070); the "PerfectPlay" option doesn't seem to work properly. |

Killing Spammers Dead, or at Least Taking Them Offline for a While by Fuller, Lothar and Nohbody Spammers are everywhere; from your favorite newsgroup, to web posting boards, and even in your personal e-mail box. While getting rid of the spam is the work of the truly dedicated (and demented/deranged ;) ), there are simple things you can do to contribute to wiping these vermin off of the electronic map. Also, learn how to craft effective abuse reports, minimizing the chance a busy abuse desk admin will bit-bucket your complaint or otherwise NOT squash the guy who dumped that oh-so-inviting offer to watch Cindy get off with a mule message in your inbox. Saturday, 11:00am to noon |
|
LPFM / Radio Free Nashville Update by Beau Hunter & friends Hear the latest on the Low Power FM movement (an attempt to put some portions of the broadcast spectrum back into the hands of the public), who opposes it (the National Association of Broadcasters, media conglomerates and other commercial interests), why, and how you can get involved. Tennessee's application date is fast-approaching. Saturday, 4:00PM to 5:00PM |

Minors and Hacking, Technology in Education by Fuller and Lothar Minors have had a major role in the hacking community.

*solved* PhreakNIC v3.0 code walkthrough by Elonka From the faraway reaches of that wasteland known as St. Louis, Missouri, Elonka decided to take a look at the PhreakNIC v3.0 Code and give it a shot. Though no one else had been able to crack it in a year of trying, she managed to successfully core-drill to its center in 10 days, and cracked it on August 7, 2000. By doing so, she won free booze, T-shirts, and accommodations at PhreakNIC v4.0. How'd she crack the code? Superior 'l33t skillz, or dumb luck? Come to her presentation on Sunday, and join her as she leads a tour group into the dark and twisted recesses of jonnyX's brain. Elonka will go step by step through the solution of the Code, explaining the dozen or so different cryptographic techniques that were required to get to its center. Sunday, 3:00PM to 4:00PM Step-by-step tutorial |

SARA was organized in the early 1980's and today has about 400 members worldwide. The group consists of optical astronomers, ham radio operators, engineers, teachers and non-technical persons. Many of our members are new to the field of radio astronomy and membership is extended to all who have an interest in radio astronomy. Sunday, 2:00pm to 3:00pm |

something weird by jonnyx Not even jonnyX is sure what this talk will be about, but rest assured, it will be absolutely amazing, probably, unless the panelists are passed-out somewhere and miss it, in which case not a whole lot will be going on at this point. Sunday, 11:00AM to noon |
|

Uber-tech: the Superdome Supercomputer by James Dean HP's "Superdome" is the company's new high-end server. Some interesting problems had to be solved when hardware is scaled this large. Hear what makes a 64 processor system run, and the challenges of designing for: IA64 upgrades, CrossBars across cabinets, and multiple simultaneous OS types (HP-UX, NT, Linux). James works for HP, but is speaking in his private capacity as he finds this the most "kick-ass" piece of hardware he's laid hands on in a long time. For those with a hardware power fetish only! Bigger is Better! Saturday, noon to 1:00PM |
