Defcon Las Vegas -

Every summer, Las Vegas transforms from a playground of neon and slot machines into the global epicenter of cybersecurity, hacking, and digital mayhem. Welcome to DEFCON — one of the most legendary, unconventional, and secretive tech conferences on the planet. What is DEFCON? Founded in 1993 by hacker Jeff Moss (aka "The Dark Tangent"), DEFCON started as a party for fellow hackers and has grown into a massive gathering of over 30,000 attendees — including security professionals, government agents, journalists, and "black hat" hackers.
