<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Defcon-16 was a Computer Underground
Hackers Convention dealing with computer security held in Las Vegas,
August 2008. There were approximately 120 speakers including Dan
Kaminsky, whose talk “Black OPS 2008”, was about the DNS
vulnerability that he discovered. These talks should interest a large
number of people on TayLUG. The full media archives are now available
in three different formats:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Audio (average 6MB per talk).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Video (average 200MB per talk) in MPEG4
format.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Slides only (average 100MB per talk).</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Each individual piece of media is
marked with its file size so you will know how much bandwidth is
being used.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">With the average size of video being
about 200MB and there were approx. 120 speakers, this means that
there are 20GB~30GB!! of archived video material. The best thing to
do is copy the media URL&#39;s into an RSS reader as it makes it easier
to navigate than the web site.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For people that might be restricted by
bandwidth quotas, I will put up the speakers&#39; schedule where there is
a PDF file available for download for every speaker. These PDF&#39;s
gives the presentation slides of their talk. This means a person can
see what the talk is about prior to video download minimising  
bandwidth wastage.</p>
