[03:35.260 --> 03:42.140]  Hey, welcome in to Rogue's Village at DEF CON 28, everyone.
[03:42.740 --> 03:44.040]  Hell yeah!
[03:46.620 --> 03:55.740]  So, I am Jax, we got AOD over here, and we are your village leads.
[03:56.760 --> 03:59.940]  Thanks everyone for joining us for this year.
[04:00.240 --> 04:07.320]  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,
[04:07.320 --> 04:10.200]  because it's a little different than a lot of the other spaces here at DEF CON,
[04:10.200 --> 04:14.840]  and to hopefully answer any basic questions that people might have.
[04:14.840 --> 04:18.460]  You can drop those questions into the general text channel over on Discord.
[04:18.460 --> 04:20.580]  We've got somebody piping those to us live.
[04:21.240 --> 04:25.740]  But yeah, we wanted to, first of all, like I said, welcome you, and then Jay, if you want to...
[04:25.740 --> 04:35.220]  Yeah. So, first of all, if you joined us from last year, thanks for joining us again in the virtual space.
[04:36.520 --> 04:44.320]  We like to approach security concepts through non-traditional lenses, meaning... what does that mean?
[04:44.440 --> 04:45.560]  Right? What does that mean?
[04:46.300 --> 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.
[04:50.720 --> 04:55.080]  We had one of our speakers from last year is actually coming back this year.
[04:55.080 --> 04:57.600]  They had a wildly popular pickpocketing talk.
[04:58.320 --> 05:07.540]  We had a dummy setup, and this is all about how to use these skills to learn it yourself, learn how it feels,
[05:07.540 --> 05:11.920]  and also learn, at the same time, how to protect against that threat.
[05:12.260 --> 05:15.820]  So, that was one of the talks that's coming back for this year.
[05:15.820 --> 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.
[05:23.520 --> 05:24.960]  One of the principles of this.
[05:26.620 --> 05:30.240]  So, we had pickpocketing. Do you want to talk about that?
[05:30.240 --> 05:36.080]  Yeah. So, the general sense is that these are all talks that approach the security space from non-traditional backgrounds.
[05:36.080 --> 05:44.520]  So, pickpocketing. Specifically, he's a stage magician pickpocket with kind of an understanding and the skills of how this can be applied,
[05:44.520 --> 05:47.540]  but taking those skills and applying them to this other field.
[05:47.540 --> 05:49.060]  So, that's kind of where everyone here comes from.
[05:49.060 --> 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.
[05:57.360 --> 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.
[06:07.500 --> 06:12.900]  However, whether you want to apply that in secret written communications or even verbal communications.
[06:12.900 --> 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.
[06:21.380 --> 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.
[06:32.500 --> 06:40.880]  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?
[06:40.880 --> 06:49.880]  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.
[06:51.140 --> 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.
[06:57.640 --> 07:02.520]  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.
[07:02.520 --> 07:12.460]  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.
[07:12.560 --> 07:20.980]  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.
[07:21.140 --> 07:30.160]  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.
[07:30.160 --> 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.
[07:39.240 --> 07:46.460]  And approaching them all from kind of some different perspectives, giving it some fun narrative moments. There's some pretty neat stuff in there.
[07:46.460 --> 07:51.380]  There's some cool art from some different artists to kind of help bring little pieces of that to life.
[07:51.460 --> 07:57.280]  You can find that on our website, fourseats.co slash game. It's linked in the announcements channel.
[07:57.280 --> 08:03.600]  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.
[08:03.780 --> 08:11.960]  Definitely check. But that's kind of the big digital piece. But we also have a lot of more traditional speakers coming up.
[08:12.160 --> 08:13.440]  Jay, you can let people know.
[08:13.440 --> 08:20.800]  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.
[08:21.340 --> 08:26.500]  The comments on Twitch, we're not looking at those right now. Chime in on the Discord channel if you have any questions.
[08:27.940 --> 08:35.580]  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.
[08:36.120 --> 08:41.780]  So first up today. So we are the 11 o'clock presentation. Hello, you're welcome.
[08:41.920 --> 08:48.200]  We have a wonderful person I am so stoked for, honestly, today.
[08:48.540 --> 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.
[08:54.580 --> 08:58.700]  And so it's so cool to have them as a speaker here at this village.
[08:58.780 --> 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.
[09:13.840 --> 09:16.260]  That's our 12 o'clock talk.
[09:16.260 --> 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.
[09:30.000 --> 09:33.880]  So that's our 12 o'clock talk, Simon Weckert, Google Maps Hacks.
[09:34.160 --> 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.
[09:47.780 --> 09:52.120]  In the village. So we wanted to say, alright, how can we do that this year?
[09:52.860 --> 09:57.540]  We have Daniel Roy at two o'clock today and tomorrow.
[09:57.700 --> 10:02.900]  An amazing, like, honestly, like a virtuoso with playing cards.
[10:03.100 --> 10:07.660]  This guy, when I first saw him, this stuff that he does is incredible.
[10:07.660 --> 10:14.800]  And he focuses on gambling and, like, a lot of these slights that are super hard to pull off.
[10:14.800 --> 10:16.980]  Things that you'd actually pull off at the card table.
[10:17.440 --> 10:20.260]  Yeah, the history of card cheating. We talked a lot about that.
[10:20.260 --> 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.
[10:27.220 --> 10:29.940]  Hacking the card table, as it were.
[10:30.480 --> 10:34.040]  That's at two o'clock today and tomorrow. Join in for that.
[10:34.040 --> 10:38.120]  We're going to ask for, like, volunteers and people to jump in that call with him.
[10:38.120 --> 10:42.840]  So if you want to be a part of what he's doing, definitely let us know in the Discord.
[10:43.640 --> 10:48.180]  And we're closing out the day with a favorite from last year.
[10:48.280 --> 10:52.300]  James Harrison is coming back, showing us pickpocketing at home.
[10:52.340 --> 10:56.720]  We're going to go into his home and see his home set up for how he practices.
[10:56.840 --> 11:00.360]  And it's going to be, honestly, a lot of fun. That's at four o'clock.
[11:00.780 --> 11:07.820]  Yeah, and we're around from today from all the way 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Las Vegas time.
[11:08.140 --> 11:09.760]  So today and tomorrow.
[11:09.760 --> 11:13.020]  And that whole schedule is visible on our website.
[11:13.020 --> 11:18.000]  You can find that and links to everything else about this village in our announcements channel on the Discord.
[11:18.000 --> 11:19.200]  So definitely check that out.
[11:19.200 --> 11:23.780]  Yeah, let's see. Do we have... I know we got some viewers on Twitch right now.
[11:25.660 --> 11:27.580]  But... awesome, thank you. All right.
[11:27.580 --> 11:31.840]  So, let's see. No one's in the general, so you know what?
[11:31.860 --> 11:32.520]  Yeah.
[11:33.580 --> 11:40.820]  AOD, it's a pleasure working together virtually right now.
[11:40.820 --> 11:41.140]  Yeah.
[11:41.140 --> 11:45.880]  And shout out to all the other village staff, 0x90 and Lechen, also joining us.
[11:46.940 --> 11:48.240]  Rogues Village, we're doing it.
[11:48.240 --> 11:48.480]  Yeah.
[11:48.480 --> 11:49.640]  DEF CON 28.
[11:49.900 --> 11:51.080]  See you in the chat.
[11:51.080 --> 11:53.020]  Yeah, see you in the chat, folks.
[11:53.560 --> 11:55.520]  And I look forward to seeing you at the other events today.
