Network Instructions:
================

The DEF CON NOC delivers the cyberz throughout the different properties the conference is held.

TL/DR

Step 0 Visit https://wifireg.defcon.org/ and create a login

Step 1 Pick a conference network to connect to:

SSID DefCon = Encrypted and port isolated WiFi
or
SSID DefCon-Open = Unencrypted giant collision domain

STEP 2 Use your login info from Step 0 and away you go!

If you want to get online, remember there are two (and only two) official ESSIDs you should use to access the intertubes:

The encrypted one with 802.1x authentication and digital certificate verification (DefCon) and the unencrypted, wild-west of the wireless networks (DefCon-Open). Please choose wisely.

Despite the fact that the 802.1x Godz seemed to have smiled at us for the past couple of years, never forget we're talking about the Wi-Fiz: where radio wavez make packets fly and digital voodoo makes the communications secure, dodging the blockchains and those pineapples along the way.

We test stuff before we go onsite, but things might change on how all operating systems, drivers and users deal with the Wi-Fiz. There are might be some devices out there that really do not like 802.1x with PEAP authentication. In particular, for quite a while some Android platforms wouldn't verify the RADIUS server certificate prior to sending the user's credentials to enter the network. And this is not cool.

And, choosing for the device to "not verify server certificat"� will probably not only let that device connect to one of the hundreds of rogue access points on the show floor but will also send your login credentials to a rogue radius server. This is also a bad thing.

Because of these, and a bunch more cyber common sense reasons, do not, I repeat, do NOT choose the same credentials (aka: username and password) used for your important stuffz, like shopping sites, online-banking, the pornz, your windows domains (yeah, it happened before) to connect to the hacker conference network.

For updated information and instructions on how to connect to the Wi-Fi with the n0t-s0-1337 Operating Systems along with the link to download the digital certificate to be used, visit https://wifireg.defcon.org/

And if you don't know how to properly configure the Wi-Fiz on your Ub3r-1337 linux distro, you should consider a new platform.
