Sigh.
Every year around this time we see people posting the same tired, old advice about DefCon that hasn't felt relevant in over a decade: "Don't turn on your laptop" and "Bring a burner phone" and all that other hooey.
Am I going to have to do a video that pushes back against this? 🫣
@deviantollam @defcon Great advice all around! Both tech-centric and the practical 3-2-1 section.
What I really appreciated about the tech-focused early parts of this video (besides the practical, realistic advice and chat about threat modeling) was how much this advice also applies to things like travel and other venues where theft and damage to your equipment is also a concern, not just hacking.
