Friendly #DEFCON reminder: the deadline for the #defcon33 Call for Papers, Call for Workshops and Call for Demo Labs is now less than a month away! Get your submissions in ahead of the mad rush at the May 1 deadline for maximum attention. We can’t wait to see what you’re working on!

Can someone share any number about how Black Hat (and DEF CON) negotiates the instructor's share for Trainings? On the website:

blackhat.com/call-for-training

Is written:

"Payment is negotiated directly with each individual Trainer."

So, say that I propose a course for 1000 USD / student and I get 20 students registered and paying. What share of those 20'000 USD does BH/DC offer me usually?

The #DEFCON #MeshTastic MQTT server is in early testing. Soon we will open it up for beta testing and will be asking for people to help, then we will do our full reveal of our plans!

A lot of great community support and organizing in the background we will talk about when ready.

This week’s #defconmovienight selection is Scarface (1932). Classic pre-code gangster flick based loosely on Al Capone and directed by the great Howard Hawks. Join us at 8pm PDT Saturday in the movie-night-text channel of the #defcon discord (discord.gg/defcon). The world is yours.

So the DEFCON 32 badge can be repurposed into a hardware hacking multi-tool. I flashed the custom firmware FREE-WILi created for the badge. It is limited since I don’t have all available GPIO pins that the Raspberry Pico does but do have some, USB serial, and I2C control. It seems like a bus pirate variant maybe? Someone with actual hardware hacking experience can correct me on that.

#defconmovienight wants you to join us Saturday at 8pm PDT for ‘The Big Lebowski’ - a film that asks the important questions, like “Who’s the [redacted] nihilist here?” We’ll be with the other urban achievers in the #defcon discord (discord.gg/defcon) in the movie-night-text channel. Marmots optional.

#DEFCONTraining Las Vegas Registration is officially open! Expanded menu includes dozens of course options, new 4-day trainings and a $200 #earlybird discount. Join us in August for #DEFCON style hands-on technical training from our world-class trainers. Information and signup at training.defcon.org. Reserve your spot now!

#DEFCON33 Theme Drop!

“Access Everywhere.”

This year we’re thinking about how to make information and services available to everyone. Available wherever you are, whoever you are, and usable no matter how you need to connect.

Less walled gardens, more sunlight.

You can read the theme story and get some visual inspiration at defcon.org/html/defcon-33/dc-3. You can get it in a PDF on media.defcon.org. Homework assignments to get you into the vibe coming soon.

We can’t wait to see where you’ll take it.

See you at #defcon

#DEFCON33 is building steam. Planning is in full swing. In fact, a glance at any nearby calendar will tell you we’re already halfway there!

We know you need to plan, too. That’s why we’re opening up Early Bird Online Registration. For the go-getters who register early, we’ve got our lowest online price. And just like in years past, registering online guarantees your badge, no matter what the attendance numbers turn out to be.

Starting Wednesday you’ll be able to hit up shop.defcon.org to get your ticket. Are you ready?

The Early Reg price is $540 ($520 +$20 processing fee.) Early Bird season ends May 23.

Regular Pricing is $560 ($540 + $20 processing) and is available until July 18.

Late Pricing is $580 ($560 +$20 processing) from July 19 to the close of Online Registration.

As always, online registration is not required. The cash-at-the-door price is just $500, and it comes with the bonus of our world-famous LineCon.

We’re very excited about how #DEFCON 33 is shaping up. We hope you are too.
Past the halfway point, people. Let’s GO.
