DEF CON Homework alert! This Saturday #defconmovienight is showing ‘Wall-E’, a film that touches on many of the theme ideas of #defcon33. Some questions to ponder when you watch our boxy little hero save the future: Why is the ship called ‘Axiom’? Are we closer to the cozy dystopia Wall-E suggests? What do you think Earth looks like 10-20-100 years from the film’s ending? How do we best resist the fate of the short-fingered humans of the Axiom? Join us Saturday 8pm PDT in the movie-night-text channel of the discord (discord.gg/defcon) for film and conversation. Liquified pastries optional. #defcon

We have rebuilt our primary #bittorrent server and are reloading seeds now. In the next few days all the rainbow tables, wordlists, and cons should be available again!

#defconmovienight is back Saturday night at 8pm PDT with some vintage late 90s David Fincher goodness. Join us for ‘The Game’ - a movie truly years ahead of its time. We’ll be in the movie-night-text channel of the #defcon discord (Discord.gg/defcon). Hope to see you there.
