    I've been to one event in Vegas and the community at DefCon was so enlightening. I felt like I belong and I can be my honest self. Miss you guys last year.

    DEFCON 2003 was one of the best things I've ever experienced in my life.  What a culture.  Boy would I love to do it again.

    One of the hidden gems, its amazing this doc doesn't have more views spread the word!
  • I liked "stop recording please", polite but firm request, and immediate compliance.

    "Drinking before 10 am I haven't seen yet" Me: "You're doing it wrong." God I hope we can get back to normal next year.

    I'll be going to Defcon 2019. I work as a security researcher. The con is everything from cybersecurity, soldering, lock picking to technical talks! Don't be intimidated to go ❤️
  • Defcon 9 participant here.....one of my best memories. That was before Defcon really blew up and became super popular.
  • And now we are at a time where someone like me. 26 years old is getting active in a community I had only read about as a kid. Fascinating to see such amazing, intelligent and creative people building the future that I get to enjoy. Now it's my turn. What can I be apart of? An exciting question indeed.

    This is a convention where you'd want to disable your mobile phone WIFI.. and Bluetooth... yes, disable BLUETOOTH.. actually just turn off your phone.

    Awesome Doc! Thank you soo much for putting this up on Youtube. Jason Scott is the best! Definitely have to find the time/money to make it there in the next couple of years.

    The right music, applied sparingly. Jason is coming into his own as a filmmaker.

    DEFCON looks like just the group of brilliant lovable misfits I've been looking for.

    It's really interesting that Keith Alexander spoke at Defcon right before the Snowden leaks happened.
  • @bitw2001
