Some of the other presentations I learned from was one by the Co-Founder of Tor, Roger Dingledine.
He explained How Russia is Trying to Block Tor and their techniques and how the Tor group reverse
engineered their attempts which caused them to change their strategies and approach. James Pavur
gave an insightful presentation on various radio frequency attacks that go on in outer space. He
demonstrated how state and non-state actors can, and have, executed physical-layer attacks on satellite
communications systems that have caused disruptions.
Another component of DefCon is the vast amount of villages they have. These villages contained talks,
demonstrations, and typically a hands-on component where attendees could try their hand at it. For this
year’s DefCon, they had 20+ villages. I was able to at least see every village but did not have time to try
my hand at everything.
