No cables to be pulled, no pineapples messing with the WiFiz, no vlans to be configured, not seeing you all in Vegas, this is weird. We are sad not setting up DC’s infrastructure this year. But we're going to be on Discord helping w/ other stuff to make DC SM a success.

For a question we got about using username/ password defcon/ defcon. Is it safe? despite the same username and password, every users get dynamic/ rotating keys. So yes, as secure as any enterprise level eap-peap 802.1x network can be. Pick your uname/pass though. #defcon

It looks like the cert format acceptance still varies depending on the flavor of Android being used. Couple of devices we tested with the original instructions worked just fine. So here is a good tip: convert to DER. Thank you

@boblord @c7five @ErrataRob @alexhutton It looks like chrome books still don’t like verifying server side certificate for 802.1X, making then the connection insecure and defeating the point of having such type of authentication. If anyone has successfully implemented CBs and 802.1X, we are all ears
