There's nothing better for the post-con blues than curling up with some Raspberry Zinger and a good write-up. Hair of the dog, perhaps. So take a litle 'me time' and live vicariously through these eyewitness accounts.

DC 20 Media Page is Live!
Posted 8.16.12
The updates continue - this time it's the DC 20 Media page. We've got all the speaker materials you'd find on the conference DVD, and since last-minute updates are inevitable with this kind of content, we've also added all the speaker-updated slides we've received so far. We will keep updating the page as we receive more speaker changes, and we will be adding video and audio as they become available to us.
DC 20 Program and DVD Available for Download!
Posted 8.14.12
We've got a couple more DEF CON 20 goodies available for free download today: both the official program (in handy-dandy PDF format) and the conference DVD (in a convenient, humongous .rar). For those of you who might have missed the festivities and want a token, and those who've already 'misplaced' their own copy, get downloading. While you're on the media server, we invite you to check out the wealth of other media we have there from the past two decades of DEF CON. Even better, if you have something we missed, please consider sharing it with us, and with the DEF CON community at large.
