Lawrence pointed out that I hadn’t trolled the crowd for panel suggestions yet, and the schedule is up. Here’s the stuff I’m tentatively planning to see.
- “Welcome and the Making of the DEF CON 19 Badge”. Depends on whether I have a badge or not. Let’s hope the badge issues are resolved this year.
- “DCFluX in: License to Transmit“. I haven’t done a lot with my amateur license (KF5BFL, but don’t bother looking for me; I have no gear at the moment), so I’m thinking about this one. On the other hand, I’m concerned it might be a little basic, and theprez98’s “WTF Happened to the Constitution?” might grab me instead; I like theprez98, and the topic of this talk seems to overlap with some stuff I’ll be doing at St. Ed’s this fall.
- “From Printer To Pwnd”. This grabs me just a little more than the “Sneaky PDF” and “Staying Connected during a Revolution or Disaster” panels, but I reserve the right to change my mind.
- “Black Ops of TCP/IP 2011“. Kaminsky. Enough said.
- “And That’s How I Lost My Eye“. With a title like that, how can I pass?
- “Key Impressioning“. I disagree that this is a relatively unknown technique, but I am interested in what the presenter has to say.
- “We owe it all to the Hackers”. I can’t tell if this is the Steven Levy, and I’m likely to be at dinner anyway, but maybe.
- “Safe to Armed in Seconds: A Study of Epic Fails of Popular Gun Safes“. Do I need to say any more?
- “DIY Non-Destructive Entry“. Actually, I’m torn between this and “Battery Firmware Hacking“.
- “Economics of Password Cracking in the GPU Era“. Again, though, I’m torn between this and “Smile for the Grenade! ‘Camera Go Bang!’“.
- “This is REALLY not the droid you’re looking for…” “Our talk will demonstrate a technique using legitimate and documented APIs to steal credentials and other user information from the most popular Apps in the Android Market. We will demo this technique live and provide a technical walkthrough of the specific methods being used.”
- “Cellular Privacy“. I’m leaning more in the direction of this than “Look at what my car can do“, mostly because Andrew is oddly resistant to letting people hack on his car for some strange reason. But the “Earth vs. The Giant Spider” panel sounds fun, too.
- “Seven Ways to Hang Yourself with Google Android”. Or “Internet Kiosk Terminals : The Redux”. Decisions, decisions.
- “Build your own Synthetic Aperture Radar“. This sounds awesome. And dangerous. And awesomely dangerous.
- “Introduction to Tamper Evident Devices“. I might opt for “Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform” instead; these guys are already getting press.
- “SCADA & PLCs in Correctional Facilities: The Nightmare Before Christmas“. Background for the novel?
- And this year’s “Hippie, please” panel that I won’t be attending? “Staring into the Abyss: The Dark Side of Crime-fighting, Security, and Professional Intelligence“.
I’m open to requests, but I won’t make promises.
