That's it, DEF CON 33 has concluded. We've had an awesome turnout and it couldn't have been done without the community, our sponsors, and everyone involved. If you have any pictures that aren't crowd shots, feel free to reply to this thread. Be sure to visit us next year!

Day 3 of DEF CON is going strong, we still have many more badges & shirts to hand out.

Day 2 of DEF CON 33 went great. After switching to high gain antennas on our Protecli VP6670, the network started to perform smoothly.
