A torrent is also available[1] The official page seems under heavy load ATM.

I'm surprised to see that Defcon recommends the closed source uTorrent.

While not being open source, BitTorrent Inc. does promote the open standardization of the protocol[1], and employs the creator of bittorrent, Bram Cohen[2], as chief scientist.

μTorrent is, I think, the best suggestion for a client for people who need client suggestions. (having tried a large number of very mediocre competitors, free, open, or otherwise)

I usually stick to rtorrent on the commandline, but that's a shitty suggestion for helping bring awareness to hacker issues.

Mass Scanning the Internet is a must-watch.

Edit: it's available youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOWexFaRylM

+1 to this. During the presentation they scan the entire internet for open VNC ports that do not require authentication. There were many found (thousands?), the most surprising being a mainframe that looked like it controlled a railway interchange. I was the guy who gave them the iPhone backdoor port ;-)

This was demonstrated at 30C3 last December as well. I still have the screenshots of the hits on the firewall logs from the various servers I had up at the time.

Highly recommend checking out "Hack All The Things - 20 Devices in 45 Minutes" by CJ Heres & Amir Etemadieh & Mike Baker & Hans Nielsen. https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2022/DEF%20CON%2022%20vid...

This is the GTVhacker group that hacked the GoogleTV.

"Weaponizing Your Pets" with Gene Bransfield is definitely also worth checking out. "The War Kitteh and Denial of Service Dog."

I was having trouble streaming the talks from defcon.org so I decided to mirror it here http://104.236.115.7/ I will probably kill the server in about a week, when load to Defcon servers go down.

The default file indexer for Nginx truncates the file names which makes it hard to find a video, but just appending the file name should play the correct video.
