Oh to hell with it...Merry Christmas! :) We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas, a great Hanukkah, and generally enjoyed the holidays! 2012 is the year the Mayans predicted the world would end - and is also coincidentally the 20th anniversary of DefCon. We've been doing some early planning already to ensure that DefCon20 is the biggest, baddest, most exciting DefCon EVER!
We hope everyone had a very Happy New Years - be safe in whatever activities you chose to indulge in (or at least don't get caught!).
Effffn has suggested a new network metric - HC's per second (hcps). It's a bit of an inside joke (that you can never erase from your mind once you've been exposed) - but suffice it to say instead of a generic "megabits per second" it's taking a known entity as a frame of reference. A video for example. Think "Rebecca Black's per second." There may be something to do this...!
Happy New Years and see you at DefCon 20!

All your torrents are belong to us...

Network utilization currently at 94% (on inbound).
For the mathematically challenged, that's 94Mb (we have a 100Mb circuit).
Outbound is running about 20Mb (probably torrents seeding).

9:30p - the day is largely over (other than parties at this point).
Not much bandwidth consumed today - a few spikes, but generally hovered around 10-14Mbps.
DCTV seems generally well-received. The feeds from the cameras don't mix speaker & slides so we had to pick one feed to broadcast. We're already talking about major upgrades next year - but since this is the first time since the AP we've been able to do this, we got a lot of ideas for making DC20 a major step-up.
Oh, and we got our first hate-mail today! So sad that the world is full of hate like that. However, we got many more people who emailed in, or stopped us in the halls, or tweeted us, thanking us for the network. Apparently many more people knew how to use wifi. A number of people said it was much better than over at Blackhat.
However, it's not about us -- thank YOU for coming, enjoying the conference, getting out, participating, etc!
We found some guys who setup a rogue DHCP server. One of the contests, actually. Running a rogue DHCP server off a hard-line that we can trace through our switches easily? Not so smart. Extermination protocol Zeta-3 was triggered, and successful.
If you're doing anything cool with IPv6 here - let us know! (noc at defconetworking dot org).
Enjoy the parties tonight - be safe, have fun!
