215260	222140	Hey, welcome in to Rogue's Village at DEF CON 28, everyone.
222740	224040	Hell yeah!
226620	235740	So, I am Jax, we got AOD over here, and we are your village leads.
236760	239940	Thanks everyone for joining us for this year.
240240	247320	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,
247320	250200	because it's a little different than a lot of the other spaces here at DEF CON,
250200	254840	and to hopefully answer any basic questions that people might have.
254840	258460	You can drop those questions into the general text channel over on Discord.
258460	260580	We've got somebody piping those to us live.
261240	265740	But yeah, we wanted to, first of all, like I said, welcome you, and then Jay, if you want to...
265740	275220	Yeah. So, first of all, if you joined us from last year, thanks for joining us again in the virtual space.
276520	284320	We like to approach security concepts through non-traditional lenses, meaning... what does that mean?
284440	285560	Right? What does that mean?
286300	290720	So, last year we had a few talks that kind of explored this, and I think it's probably best to reference those.
290720	295080	We had one of our speakers from last year is actually coming back this year.
295080	297600	They had a wildly popular pickpocketing talk.
298320	307540	We had a dummy setup, and this is all about how to use these skills to learn it yourself, learn how it feels,
307540	311920	and also learn, at the same time, how to protect against that threat.
312260	315820	So, that was one of the talks that's coming back for this year.
315820	323520	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.
323520	324960	One of the principles of this.
326620	330240	So, we had pickpocketing. Do you want to talk about that?
330240	336080	Yeah. So, the general sense is that these are all talks that approach the security space from non-traditional backgrounds.
336080	344520	So, pickpocketing. Specifically, he's a stage magician pickpocket with kind of an understanding and the skills of how this can be applied,
344520	347540	but taking those skills and applying them to this other field.
347540	349060	So, that's kind of where everyone here comes from.
349060	357240	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.
357360	367500	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.
367500	372900	However, whether you want to apply that in secret written communications or even verbal communications.
372900	381380	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.
381380	392500	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.
392500	400880	Yeah. So, that's kind of what we do as an overall village. And how are we transitioning this to the online space right now?
400880	409880	We've got a lot of things going for you. First of all, I want to shout out all the work that AoD has done with our Rogues adventure game.
411140	416720	And if you haven't, we were thinking about all the different ways that it would be fun to engage people online.
417640	422520	Do you want to talk a little bit about the game actually? Because that's live to play right now if anyone wants to jump on that.
422520	432460	Yeah, sure. 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.
432560	440980	And we figured the thing that makes the most sense is a fully digital experience. So this is a game that you can go play. It is a text-based puzzle adventure game.
441140	450160	It's a puzzle game, not a hacking exercise. Yes, there are lots of ways to cheat it and to get by it without having to figure out any of the puzzles. That is not the point and you will not enjoy it if you do that.
450160	459200	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.
459240	466460	And approaching them all from kind of some different perspectives, giving it some fun narrative moments. There's some pretty neat stuff in there.
466460	471380	There's some cool art from some different artists to kind of help bring little pieces of that to life.
471460	477280	You can find that on our website, fourseats.co slash game. It's linked in the announcements channel.
477280	483600	Definitely check it out. 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.
483780	491960	Definitely check. But that's kind of the big digital piece. But we also have a lot of more traditional speakers coming up.
492160	493440	Jay, you can let people know.
493440	500800	Yeah. My bad. 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.
501340	506500	The comments on Twitch, we're not looking at those right now. Chime in on the Discord channel if you have any questions.
507940	515580	OX90 is taking comments from the Discord channel and tossing them to us. Or will be in a couple minutes. So if you have questions, toss them over there.
516120	521780	So first up today. So we are the 11 o'clock presentation. Hello, you're welcome.
521920	528200	We have a wonderful person I am so stoked for, honestly, today.
528540	534580	You know what's funny is that if you look back through the Rogues Village Twitter, we retweeted the initial news of this happening.
534580	538700	And so it's so cool to have them as a speaker here at this village.
538780	553620	Simon Weckert made international news earlier this year for a talk about taking a bunch of basically Android phones and creating virtual traffic jams.
553840	556260	That's our 12 o'clock talk.
556260	570000	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.
570000	573880	So that's our 12 o'clock talk, Simon Weckert, Google Maps Hacks.
574160	584980	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.
587780	592120	In the village. So we wanted to say, alright, how can we do that this year?
592860	597540	We have Daniel Roy at two o'clock today and tomorrow.
597700	602900	An amazing, like, honestly, like a virtuoso with playing cards.
603100	607660	This guy, when I first saw him, this stuff that he does is incredible.
607660	614800	And he focuses on gambling and, like, a lot of these slights that are super hard to pull off.
614800	616980	Things that you'd actually pull off at the card table.
617440	620260	Yeah, the history of card cheating. We talked a lot about that.
620260	627080	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.
627220	629940	Hacking the card table, as it were.
630480	634040	That's at two o'clock today and tomorrow. Join in for that.
634040	638120	We're going to ask for, like, volunteers and people to jump in that call with him.
638120	642840	So if you want to be a part of what he's doing, definitely let us know in the Discord.
643640	648180	And we're closing out the day with a favorite from last year.
648280	652300	James Harrison is coming back, showing us pickpocketing at home.
652340	656720	We're going to go into his home and see his home set up for how he practices.
656840	660360	And it's going to be, honestly, a lot of fun. That's at four o'clock.
660780	667820	Yeah, and we're around from today from all the way 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Las Vegas time.
668140	669760	So today and tomorrow.
669760	673020	And that whole schedule is visible on our website.
673020	678000	You can find that and links to everything else about this village in our announcements channel on the Discord.
678000	679200	So definitely check that out.
679200	683780	Yeah, let's see. Do we have... I know we got some viewers on Twitch right now.
685660	687580	But... awesome, thank you. All right.
687580	691840	So, let's see. No one's in the general, so you know what?
691860	692520	Yeah.
693580	700820	AOD, it's a pleasure working together virtually right now.
