Pretty excited to be at ARMA Infocon in Houston this morning to talk about how we deal with the tons of data we get in astronomy and space exploration. Not my usual turf, so I had to do a lot of research for the talk and learned lots of cool stuff.

There was a problem with http range requests that should now be fixed. Please let us know if you see a difference!

Just a heads up I think Data Duplication Village made a major mistake with the InfoCon Drive. They somehow gave me Infocon DC30 not DC34 I actually have fewer talks and such than the drive I brought in from DC33. So I have to now redownload all that manually. #DEFCON #Cybersecurity

I really wish the Data Duplication VIllage would at least offer non NTFS formatted versions of the disk. This is the second time I have had to repair the partition table for my DEFCON InfoCon drive. Started it last night on stream. I'd like to see EXT4 versions #DEFCON #Cybersecurity #InfoCon

Great game. I think my favorite infocon game is Bureaucracy. Border Zone a close second. If it wasn’t for all those timed events!

Yep. Dorothea sent around a very good slide deck on this, and how it's affecting online searching, that I found a worthwhile read.

Taking Arms against a Sea of Chatbot Sludge
For INFOCon 2024, November 13. The term of art is "chatbot slop," actually, but for me the word "sludge" is ever so much more evocative.

My DEF CON 34 InfoCon drive showed up with a DC30 archive, so now I’m rebuilding and verifying the whole thing. This will take a few days, but at least everyone else gets to profit off my issues. 😂 Python tool here: github.com/ChiefGyk3... #DEFCON #Cybersecurity

In addition to DEFCON, there’s also INFOCON (threat condition related to IT systems) and FPCON (threat condition related to force protection, ie threats against military assets or personnel)

⭐ 1 stars • Python
The Great InfoCon Recovery rebuilds and maintains a local time capsule of the infocon.org archive and DEF CON's media.defcon.org. It preserves the source directory layout, skips files already verified locally, resumes partial downloads, and records SHA-256 hashes in a manifest.

When working on the #infocon collections I noticed the #ccc CryptoCon website TLS certificate expired back in March. https://cryptocon.org/
They have HSTS enabled so I can't just ignore the error with a modern browser, maybe wget or curl will work.

Been digging into infocon's structure all day, and I think I finally have my scraper set up to properly rebuild my InfoCon drive after it somehow got imaged with DC30 data at DC34. I also figured out how to recreate the Rainbow Tables and VX Underground drives at home.
