Its time for Steph, Alex, and dc414’s annual Halloween party! 🙂 As usual, costumes are recommended but not required. Trick or treat runs 6-8pm – Watch for kids if you come during that time.

We will have chili and other food (and I promise, more dairy free options this time around!). Feel free to bring drinks or a dish to share.

Contact Anarchy Angel for directions – anarchy at dc414 dot org

Here are a few tips and guidelines to follow while in Vegas:

  • Keep an eye on dc414’s twitter, Facebook, and G+ feeds to keep up to date on what we are doing so you can join in on the fun.
  • If you have access to dc414’s VPN be sure to use it at all times on your tablet, phone, and laptop. If you do not have access to the VPN but have a server you can access “like one on your home connection”, set up a ssh tunnel and use it at all times.
  • Do not use USB “or CDs/DVDs” sticks from anyone, other then ones you brought your self, including ones you find on the floor or parking lot.
  • Do not leave USB sticks laying out that you intend to use later.
  • Do not let anyone connect their phone to your system for charging or any other reason.
  • Do not connect your phone/tablet to anyones computer other then yours.
  • When using the local WIFI “hotel, convention center, etc” Do not visit any site you intend to login to with the HTTP protocol “ie http://mail.dc414.org” only connect using HTTPS “ie https://mail.dc414.org”
  • Do not scan any QR codes with apps that do not verify the content before displaying it or opening other programs.
  • Do not ever leave your computer, phone, or tablet unattended

THOTCON greatness

This was the best THOTCON I have been to yet! Awesome talks, awesome beer, awesome food, and awesome people kinda sums it up for this year. Mine and ngharo’s talk went really well, and so far I have had lots of good feed back. I was a little drunk by the time we did our talk so that helped a lot, lol. My favorite talk was “Owning Payphones: 3650-Day Exploits” from savant, dude did a wonderful job and violated payphones in dirty ways! The one I learned the most from was “You put what in your DNS record?” from Mubix, yeah zone transfers are old school and I been using it for ever, but I had no idea you could do it to com and stuff, lol. Here are some pics of the swag and the con. Enjoy.
