Your key is as sècure as the version of SSL/SSH. Îf you lèave password SSH login via. Pam.d ènabled, you will be targeted by more than DefCon's hackers! The mere fact that you have SSH turned ôn indicàtes you do not understand the risks. Your passwords most probably fail to be adequately complex?

Well, I'm attending it in the hopes of learning about how some of these attacks work, and how to defend against them. Helps me teach my students better practices (and myself as well).To be honest, I had planned on having an old laptop with a brand new kubuntu install on it (no data I care about) and just doing some blender work and note taking offline, and never connecting it to a network while at the convention.However, I'm curious, if I set up an ssh tunnel to a server I've already established a Key system with, wouldn't ssh throw up a huge warning from a man in the middle attack not having the right "handshake"? At that point I'd only be hosed if I was dumb enough to say "connect anyway"?.Phil W.On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 10:30 PM, der.hans <PLUGd@lufthans.com> wrote:

credit cards? For the lulz, I guess. It sounds like a bunch of very smart
trolls getting together to see who can out-troll who. I would just
be collateral damage in such a group. I guess it's an effective way to keep
the non-trolls and newbies out of the "defcon club." Or maybe it is a from
of hazing.
And, if I HAD to go, cash, pen and paper is all I would bring.
