New! Headsets for Talks At DEF CON 34!

Posted 2026-08-05

Listening Together at #DEFCON34 (how audio will work this year -- headsets rather than speakers) https://info.defcon.org/defcon34/documents/670

The wait is over. Meet the DEF CON 34 badge!

Posted 2026-07-31

It's the creation of hardware superstar Bunnie Huang, and it features his open-source, fully inspectable Baochip.

DEF CON 34 badgeholders will be the first to get their hands on a radically transparent device with all kinds of powerful possibilities - security token, password manager, HSM, pretty light generator - that we hope will keep you busy long after closing ceremonies.

What will you make with yours?

No Recording Glasses at DEF CON 34

Posted 2026-07-28

Meta style glasses with recording capabilities are prohibited at DEF CON. Surreptitious filming is an invasion of privacy, and will be treated as a CoC violation. There is no exception for recording glasses with prescription lenses. Be sure to pack non-violating eyewear if you need them.

If you must take pictures, use recognizable personal photo equipment like a smartphone so that your intentions are clear. Get affirmative permission from the faces in your frame. Please refer to our official Photo and code of conduct policies for more.

Workshops Page is Live! Reg Opening Soon!

Posted 2026-07-10

Prepare yourselves! DEF CON 34 Workshop registration goes live at noon PDT on July 14! First come, first served.

The full course lineup is available on the DEF CON site.

Make sure to limber up your clicking mechanism of choice and stay hydrated.

Godspeed and good luck to all of you!

DEF CON 34 Badge Alert: SAO Edition

Posted 2026-05-20

DEF CON 34 is an electronic badge year, and we've got something very special in store, created for us by a hardware hacking legend. We can't share too much at this juncture, but we can say this: it will be iconic. First round Hall of Fame. In addition to being a cool badge, it's a platform. It's a full-fledged, first-of-its-kind inspectable platform. Long after closing ceremonies we think you'll still be using this device to regain some agency and security in this rapidly complexifying world.

So what we can offer right now is some data to help all the SAO enthhusiasts out there. Please enjoy this spec sheet with the relevant schematics, measurements and clearances for your projects. Electro-specs also included.

We're excited to see what you come up with. As good as the badge is, we know you can make it better.
