August 2020 – DC612 is Canceled!

Written by  on August 3, 2020 

Hello Hackers!

As most of you have probably gleaned, DefCon is canceled. For real. Sort of.

Since DefCon is moving to a virtual-only SafeMode this year, things are a little different to say the least. Nobody really knows what it will be like. Will there be connection issues? A DDoS? Will DNS stop working? Probably all of them at once if we’re being honest.

This is definitely a unique situation to find ourselves in, and one that will hopefully not repeat in 2021. As such, we are encouraging everyone to experience it in its fullest (if you are able) and we will not be having a DC612 “meetup” like we normally would in Vegas. Take this time to see what works and what doesn’t, what needs improvement, and maybe take some notes for our future virtual meets.

With luck, masks, and common sense, we’ll see you all in-person next year. But hopefully sooner. But probably not. Expect a September virtual meeting to be planned as usual.
