 I Own Your Box! / Making the Scene at DefCon 9
DefCon is a lot more than this contest -- there are panels on everything from privacy issues to hacking Cisco routers, plus the infamous TCP/IP drinking game and dozens of parties -- but on Friday morning, as the conference begins, most people are focused on hanging out and doing some hacking.
Contestants are setting up their own servers to look like the network server so that if you try to connect to the network, you might mistakenly direct packets of data at someone else's computer -- then they could gobble up your passwords and possibly even end up owning your box.
Most of the people at DefCon are working in security, and won't admit that, just for fun, they like to launch buffer-overflow exploits on slow Sunday afternoons.

 Wired News: Defcon: The Hacker's Bacchanalia
Defcon, an annual gathering that holds the Alexis Park Hotel's all-time record for the most alcohol consumed by one group in a weekend.
The rest of the attendees seemed to be content occupying their time with poolside lounging, private parties in hotel rooms and, naturally, beer-tinged teenage high jinks.
But for the most part, Defcon was a way for a young audience -- over half of the conference-goers seemed to be under 21 -- to gather in person and quietly talk tech.

 Wired News: Hackers in Suits? Gadzooks!
Conference organizers call it the "annual computer underground party for hackers," and Defcon is known as much for its technical content as its beer-tinged hijinks.
But the stealthy corporatization of Defcon has irked some hackers who are particularly anti-authoritarian -- even if the authorities are fellow geeks.
When Defcon started, the computer security field was not nearly as well defined as it is now -- precious few people had even heard of the Internet -- but nine years later, many of the topics that once drew crowds are old news.
