1
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:42,140
Hey, welcome in to Rogue's Village at DEF CON 28, everyone.

2
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:44,040
Hell yeah!

3
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:55,740
So, I am Jax, we got AOD over here, and we are your village leads.

4
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,940
Thanks everyone for joining us for this year.

5
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Yeah, we just wanted to kick the village off with a little welcome, first of all, and a little description of what this village is about, because it's a little different than a lot of the other spaces here at DEF CON, and to hopefully answer any basic questions that people might have.

6
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,460
You can drop those questions into the general text channel over on Discord.

7
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:20,580
We've got somebody piping those to us live.

8
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,740
But yeah, we wanted to, first of all, like I said, welcome you, and then Jay, if you want to...

9
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:26,440
Yeah.

10
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:35,220
So, first of all, if you joined us from last year, thanks for joining us again in the virtual space.

11
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:44,320
We like to approach security concepts through non-traditional lenses, meaning... what does that mean?

12
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:44,680
Right?

13
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,560
What does that mean?

14
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:50,720
So, last year we had a few talks that kind of explored this, and I think it's probably best to reference those.

15
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,080
We had one of our speakers from last year is actually coming back this year.

16
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,600
They had a wildly popular pickpocketing talk.

17
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:11,920
We had a dummy setup, and this is all about how to use these skills to learn it yourself, learn how it feels, and also learn, at the same time, how to protect against that threat.

18
00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:15,820
So, that was one of the talks that's coming back for this year.

19
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:23,520
They're going to teach you how to practice at home, a little bit about how to make your own dummy, and stuff like that.

20
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,960
One of the principles of this.

21
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:28,620
So, we had pickpocketing.

22
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:30,240
Do you want to talk about that?

23
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,300
Yeah.

24
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:36,080
So, the general sense is that these are all talks that approach the security space from non-traditional backgrounds.

25
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,220
So , pickpocketing.

26
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:47,540
Specifically, he's a stage magician pickpocket with kind of an understanding and the skills of how this can be applied, but taking those skills and applying them to this other field.

27
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:49,060
So, that's kind of where everyone here comes from.

28
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:57,240
We've had pickpockets, we've had magicians, we've had people who are professional poker players and professional advantage players who beat the casino.

29
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:07,500
Jay and I have done talks on how you can use the skills of fraudulent mediums from all the way back in the 1800s to do secret communication in your field work today.

30
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:12,900
However, whether you want to apply that in secret written communications or even verbal communications.

31
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:21,380
It's about taking those skills from other places and applying them to this security space to find some fun and funky tools that you might not expect.

32
00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:32,500
And then also the reverse, taking things from the security space and applying them to those other fields to realize just kind of what you can do with those tools that you might not have expected if you come from a traditional security background.

33
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:33,100
Yeah.

34
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,980
So, that's kind of what we do as an overall village.

35
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:40,880
And how are we transitioning this to the online space right now?

36
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,420
We've got a lot of things going for you.

37
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:49,880
First of all, I want to shout out all the work that AoD has done with our Rogues adventure game.

38
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:56,720
And if you haven't, we were thinking about all the different ways that it would be fun to engage people online.

39
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,540
Do you want to talk a little bit about the game actually?

40
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:02,520
Because that's live to play right now if anyone wants to jump on that.

41
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,540
Yeah, sure.

42
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:12,460
We were trying to figure out what kind of content would make more sense to present in a digital space than in a physical one.

43
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,040
And we figured the thing that makes the most sense is a fully digital experience.

44
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,720
So this is a game that you can go play.

45
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,980
It is a text-based puzzle adventure game.

46
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:23,740
It's a puzzle game, not a hacking exercise.

47
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:27,400
Yes, there are lots of ways to cheat it and to get by it without having to figure out any of the puzzles.

48
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,160
That is not the point and you will not enjoy it if you do that.

49
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:39,200
But what it does is it's a whole sequence of puzzles that asks you to think about a lot of concepts you might be very familiar with as well as a lot of concepts you might be a little bit less familiar with.

50
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,280
And approaching them all from kind of some different perspectives, giving it some fun narrative moments.

51
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,460
There's some pretty neat stuff in there.

52
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:51,380
There's some cool art from some different artists to kind of help bring little pieces of that to life.

53
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:55,320
You can find that on our website, fourseats.co slash game.

54
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,280
It's linked in the announcements channel.

55
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,260
Definitely check it out.

56
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:03,600
I'll be doing a longer Q&A if you want to know more about that after you play some of it on the announcements channel.

57
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:04,920
Definitely check.

58
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:08,620
But that's kind of the big digital piece.

59
00:08:08,620 --> 00:08:11,960
But we also have a lot of more traditional speakers coming up.

60
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Jay, you can let people know.

61
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Yeah.

62
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,340
My bad.

63
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:20,800
You might have heard a little bit of feedback as I went live on the channel to see if anyone was throwing comments in the Twitch.

64
00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:24,420
The comments on Twitch, we're not looking at those right now.

65
00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:26,500
Chime in on the Discord channel if you have any questions.

66
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:31,580
OX90 is taking comments from the Discord channel and tossing them to us.

67
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:33,400
Or will be in a couple minutes.

68
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,580
So if you have questions, toss them over there.

69
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,660
So first up today.

70
00:08:37,660 --> 00:08:40,360
So we are the 11 o'clock presentation.

71
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:41,780
Hello, you're welcome.

72
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:48,200
We have a wonderful person I am so stoked for, honestly, today.

73
00:08:48,540 --> 00:08:54,580
You know what's funny is that if you look back through the Rogues Village Twitter, we retweeted the initial news of this happening.

74
00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:58,700
And so it's so cool to have them as a speaker here at this village.

75
00:08:58,780 --> 00:09:13,620
Simon Weckert made international news earlier this year for a talk about taking a bunch of basically Android phones and creating virtual traffic jams.

76
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,260
That's our 12 o'clock talk.

77
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:30,000
Simon's going to tell you what his inspiration was for the project, how he went about it, and some of the further reaching goals that he's achieving with these projects that he's doing.

78
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,880
So that's our 12 o'clock talk, Simon Weckert, Google Maps Hacks.

79
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:44,980
We have a really fun... we had a lot of people at the village last year doing, you know, magic, card tricks, gambling type stuff.

80
00:09:47,780 --> 00:09:49,200
In the village.

81
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120
So we wanted to say, alright, how can we do that this year?

82
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:57,540
We have Daniel Roy at two o'clock today and tomorrow.

83
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:02,900
An amazing, like, honestly, like a virtuoso with playing cards.

84
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,660
This guy, when I first saw him, this stuff that he does is incredible.

85
00:10:07,660 --> 00:10:14,800
And he focuses on gambling and, like, a lot of these slights that are super hard to pull off.

86
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,980
Things that you'd actually pull off at the card table.

87
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Yeah , the history of card cheating.

88
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,260
We talked a lot about that.

89
00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:27,080
So if you want to see kind of how card magic and that security space fit together, it's a really good place to see that union.

90
00:10:27,220 --> 00:10:29,940
Hacking the card table, as it were.

91
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,520
That's at two o'clock today and tomorrow.

92
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:34,040
Join in for that.

93
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,120
We're going to ask for, like, volunteers and people to jump in that call with him.

94
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,840
So if you want to be a part of what he's doing, definitely let us know in the Discord.

95
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,180
And we're closing out the day with a favorite from last year.

96
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,300
James Harrison is coming back, showing us pickpocketing at home.

97
00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:56,720
We're going to go into his home and see his home set up for how he practices.

98
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,780
And it's going to be, honestly, a lot of fun.

99
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:00,360
That's at four o'clock.

100
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:04,500
Yeah, and we're around from today from all the way 10 a.m.

101
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:05,960
to 6 p.m.

102
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,820
Las Vegas time.

103
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:09,760
So today and tomorrow.

104
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,020
And that whole schedule is visible on our website.

105
00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:18,000
You can find that and links to everything else about this village in our announcements channel on the Discord.

106
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,200
So definitely check that out.

107
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Yeah, let's see.

108
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,780
Do we have... I know we got some viewers on Twitch right now.

109
00:11:25,660 --> 00:11:27,060
But... awesome, thank you.

110
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:27,580
All right.

111
00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:28,720
So, let's see.

112
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,840
No one's in the general, so you know what?

113
00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:32,520
Yeah.

114
00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:40,820
AOD, it's a pleasure working together virtually right now.

115
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:41,140
Yeah .

116
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:45,880
And shout out to all the other village staff, 0x90 and Lechen, also joining us.

117
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:48,240
Rogues Village, we're doing it.

118
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Yeah.

119
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,640
DEF CON 28.

120
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:51,080
See you in the chat.

121
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,020
Yeah, see you in the chat, folks.

122
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,520
And I look forward to seeing you at the other events today.
