I’m going to #defcon for the first time this year. I’m very excited to finally make this dream a reality, but I’m curious: what tips do y’all have for me as a first timer?
kay barkbark@CrowderSoup Don't let the imposter syndrome set in. None of us know what we are doing, even if it looks that way. Talk to lots of people and see lots of things. There's way more than just talks. Don't be afraid to pull out your laptop and try a challenge that someone has set up.
