30,000 Hackers Took Over Las Vegas

From the creator

Ditch the VPN and lock down your network with Twingate. Zero trust access that's actually easy to set up, and it's free for up to 5 users: https://twingate.com/chuck-defcon DEFCON is the world's largest hacking conference, and every year it takes over Las Vegas with tens of thousands of hackers, researchers, feds, and people who really shouldn't be trusted near a Wi-Fi network. We went back again, and this time we tried to capture what it actually feels like to be there. The villages, the badges, the lockpicking, the car hacking, the social engineering booth where people get owned live on stage, and the strange, welcoming culture that holds all of it together. If you've never been, this is your walkthrough. If you have, you already know why we keep coming back. Huge shoutout to NahamSec, who was there with us.

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
