Ok so as I’m sure some of you may already know the DefCon 08 qualifiers have started… For those who don’t know what this challenge is about, I’ll quote a few parts of the document I’m going to link to in this post.

QUOTE START…
“It’s simple, yo. First, get ya velcros extra tight and an extra layer o’ tape on
da horn-rims, or whatever ya’ll do to prepare for this shit. The competition
itself is a quiz board with hackin’ challenges e’rywhere. You pick one and hack
till you gots da answer. We’ll be all o’er da map like reversin’ bins to land
shellcode, surreptitious data thievery, even a little breakin’ web shit for the
kiddiez. But mostly, some real l33t shit, ya know what I’m sayin’?”
…
“E’ryone who thinks they good should get in on this. If ya don’t win, hell, ya
might learn sumthin’. And that’s it! Jump into ya so-called web browser and check
out kenshoto dawt com to get the sheezy all regeezy.”
…
“Let’s get down to it. Crewz of any
size may register, but must get it done before things get started. Top seven
ninja-squads each get a table at La Fiesta Grande, a.k.a. The Hackin’ Trip on…”
the Strip, a.k.a Defcon 16 held 8/8/08 through 8/10/08 in Vegas.”
