Read the whole article, still have no idea WTF they were supposed to have made. DEFCON badge?
I know whatever it is, it’s not going to work correctly. So, I hope it’s something to do with the FBI.
So, I looked it up. WTF it’s some conference? Looks like a conference for those kids in online gaming who tell you they’ve stole your IP address, tell you it’s 192.168.1.12, and they are totally going to DDOS you. After which you’re getting banned because their Dad works at Microsoft. They’ve grown up into LARPing as hackers who know just as little as they did back then.
Defcon is a cyber security* conference. The badges are a big part of it and often have little Easter eggs and games attached to them.
*There's a lot more beyond cyber security. Physical pen testing, voting machine hacking, get a chip embedded, etc. It was fun when I went but it's an odd place. An absurd amount of furries.
Sort of. I believe there's still legit stuff there. DEF CON is like a game dev conference where John Carmack is giving a masters-level panel on graphics engine pipelining where the audience is a bunch of RPG-maker LARPers thinking, "he's just like me! I'm a dev too!"
Yeah, when I was digging more I saw the typical mask statement just a couple years ago. I immediately discard the intelligence of anyone who says "We know that masks reduce spread." I've never been to any such con, but they all outed themselves over the last five years with their all-in adherence to the mask and vax posse.
Maybe was cool in the past at least.
