It feels like it’s been a year, I’ve been to the burn, packed all my belongings into a storage unit and moved to San Fransisco, but just last month in September, I went to my first Defcon. And it was amazing. So I wrote up the experience. If you’re a noob and considering going, or if you’re a seasoned hacker veteran, take a look. Hopefully it’s as fun to read as it was to go.

Wow.
Defcon 26 was a wild ride through the hardcore hacker halls of the people I’d always vaguely known on the internet but never had a face to go with the name. Now I feel jacked into the dark places of the internet where some amazingly talented and nice and funny people reside. I’m super pumped and excited.
