Ya I know it’s the same text as last year, we are tired… The difference is….

THIS YEAR THEY EXIST.

Ok — so defcon isnt exactly the most expensive con there is.. In fact, it is quite a steal at $120. But sometimes hackers are poor. Sometimes the difference is having beer and no badge, or a badge and no beer. Both are a bad situation.

So let me show you how to get into Defcon for a measly $15! (That still leaves you some scratch for BEER!) It is time to introduce this years I-Hacked T-Shirt.


i-hacked dc17 shirt

Not only will you get into Defcon for free (minus the cost of the tshirt of course) but you will have access to areas most “Humans” simply wont! Imagine hob-knobbing in the goon’s private skybox! Imagine finding the talk that you are most interested in, COMPLETELY FULL… With a normal badge you would be out of luck, but using the 2009 Defcon17 I-Hacked shirt, you can tell some sad sorry sap to get the hell out of your seat, because you are a goon and they have to listen to you! And it is completely legal!

How were we able to do this? Simple, We were able to (easily I might add) obtain the details of the badges early by social engineering the company that Joe Grand used for production. Not only did they provide the final proofs back to us, but actually sent us some PHYSICAL SAMPLES! (wh000000t!)

We took those proofs and produced a T-Shirt that we feel captures the “hacker spirit”. This limited edition 2009 Defcon17 I-Hacked tshirt, which is SURE to be “THE” topic of DC17 and making it to DEFCON LORE can be had for only 15 bucks.

All proceeds will go to providing beer to those who are wearing the shirts. :)
