amishrabbit > A closeup view of one of the participants in the Defcon Bots competition, where robotics students demonstrate their prowess at building a "terminator" that can hit targets with a pellet gun.

amishrabbit > One of the robot operators at Defcon Bots tweaks a piece of hardware that helps control his bot's machine gun.

amishrabbit > A projected display at Defcon Bots keeps track of time in each event, as well as a running score for each team.

amishrabbit > Yeah, Defcon has talks, too...at university professor Tom Holt's talk about the "Market for Malware" he describes how phishing trojans modify pages ever so slightly

amishrabbit > Defcon speaker Ne0nRa1n, who with a game developer created a version of Tetris that uses measurements of your heart rate to determine the speed at which blocks fall

amishrabbit > Defcon's projected message board provides a wide array of information, from upcoming talk schedules to personal notes, to jokes.

amishrabbit > In the Vendor Area at Defcon, you can find almost anything for sale, as long as it would be marketable to tinfoil hat wearers. These types of ex-military "seismic sensors" are buried around secret installations to alert security guards about intrusions. Now, you can buy them for your farmhouse for a thousand bucks a set.

amishrabbit > Zac Franken, who asked that his face not be shown in photographs, demonstrates his Wiegand-protocol hacking tool, which permits him to, essentially, change the functions of this mockup contactless access control system...a type such as you might find in an office building.

amishrabbit > Not to be outdone, this Xbox 360 was appropriately dressed for the occasion. It was used to drive the Guitar Hero contest.
