The Trip of a LIFETIME! | DefCon 32 ReCap!

[@GuidoZ]

Awesome in every way! I'm so proud of you, dude. You deserve all the recognition and good vibes coming your way. Very sorry I couldn't make it to DEFCON this year. "Next time..." =)

[@VikingTells]

Talk about surreal, I wasn't expecting to be remembered let alone called out in a video. And yes, I was with LPV and TOOOL. Was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hang out. Next time, we're getting you in that lock!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Genuinely great to meet you! I'm down next time, if I can't get the lock unlocked, I owe you another Squach Coin!

[@702TekPanda]

It was nice meeting you! Thank you for the tokens! 🎉

[@MrDerekJamison]

Great job summarizing your experience at the con! It was amazing getting to meet you, sorry we couldn't hang out more. Our drive home was two days and I was exhausted -- I watched DC31 videos on the way home since I also skipped the majority of talks except for a few village talks like P00t's talk on antennas and a few other topics I really wanted to see. I'll probably spend a week watching DC32 videos in 3 months. My wife had a great time too -- she got a few locks opened at TOOOL using her lockpick earrings.

[@PickedItMate]

Oh wow Sas I knew you said it was a nightmare journey back but WTH!!! I'd ask how you're still able to smile after all that but I know exactly why... what an amazing experience Defcon 32 was! Never felt so at home in my life. Oh and yeah one of my best nights was not getting in to mau5 so please don't feel bad at all - had 4 badges and got stopped chatting to so many amazing people because of it in LVCC it was a huge conversation starter usually involving the highlander or me just liking DC four times more or some other nonsense. Brilliant video - as always. And thanks for being an amazing roomie.

[@TalkingSasquach]

NGL I was nervous about sharing a room with someone because who knows! I'll share a room or a beer with you anytime. Looking forward to the next time!

[@Destination-Valhalla]

Glad you were able to experience it man you totally deserved an awesome trip :) hoping to make it out there next year.

[@ncc74656m]

Such a wicked experience, Squach!!! Congrats on a killer DC!

[@TalkingSasquach]

DC was amazing! I recommend everyone checking it out of they can

[@zr00t]

I went to Defcon last year and it was my first DC ever and unbeknownst to me it was a year of non-electronic badges so I was super bummed about the badge I got last year. This year's badges look so cool. I had no idea what I was doing at Defcon and it was honestly quite overwhelming trying to figure out what to do and where to go. I don't know if I'll ever make it to DC again, but other than your flight back, sounds like a great time and I'm jealous now about all the things.

[@FiveWhiskers]

I hit that slump too bro, thats why I havent been making content (4 years on tiktok) keep going man, watched this video to the end its great

[@TalkingSasquach]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you!!

[@FiveWhiskers]

@@TalkingSasquach you give me some motivation to play the flipper again. Did you ever work out a Samsung smart tag, I don't know where the payload code is when you use the nfc tool it suggests 🤔

[@Jeremiah.o.A.T]

Sounds like an awesome experience! Thanks for what you do for this community.

[@adamkempers402]

Invited to a DeadMau5 set by the man himself is epic! Just getting into SDR and would be really interested in the presentation about DIY antennas. Looking for a recording but otherwise, do you have any other resources you’d recommend for making antennas/understanding basic principles?

[@TalkingSasquach]

Yah that was one of the most awesome things ever! Once i find p00ter's presentation, i'll share it!

[@HansStam]

Dude, you are a legend and I am so jealous you got to go to defcon. I also watch your videos with my son. Keep on making your amazing videos cause you are an absolute inspiration to me and my boy.

[@TalkingSasquach]

I appreciate you! All the good vibes keep me going!

[@thesargonas]

A few weeks before DEF CON, I flew back to my hometown for a LAN Party... I had a macbook pro, a dell laptop, a macbook air, a steam deck, a portable LCD monitor, more wires than god intended one man to have, a 65% maechanical keyboard, an iPad, an android phone, and iPhone, air pods, and a camera with two lenses in my carry on tech bag, and they didn't even glance at it for more than a few second, lol.

[@randomalleycat]

I would love to go to things like this, but I hate travelling, and I can't stand the heat! If there's ever anything in the Seattle area though, let me know!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Yeah, I hate travelling too, especially after this trip but it was worth it!

[@tordforguson]

Super Siked to have ran into you! Thanks for the goodies!

[@RRMGarage]

It was good to see you.. thanks for the tip on making my qr codes more readable.

[@Kushed3d]

Great video!! Love hearing the awesome thing's you experienced during defcon! Maybe next year we can meet! Sick stuff as always

[@TalkingSasquach]

@@Kushed3d definitely! I appreciate you!

[@maskedman1337]

People try to say "dry" heat isn't as bad, but "dry" heat will kill you while humidity just makes you feel yucky. That said, 104-106 for Vegas summer ain't bad.

[@tekstyle1679]

first time going to a club and your on Deadmaus artist list with back stage table . Best way to do it , haha very nice. 🎉😎

[@ruthlessazzt3523]

Im digging ur videos u explain alot of good stuff with the things im into keep it going bro im watching u bro

[@lordRocketGod]

Good times brother. 😎🤘

[@neilBradley-vp6wh]

Wish I could've been there...sounds like an awesome time. I appreciate you!

[@Mr.Robot-E-Corp]

I saw you outside DDV

[@jcgm666]

Man I really want to go to the Defcon, at least 1x in my lifetime. Really good video as usual, thanks for all the recap

[@MakeItHackin]

it was so cool to meet you IRL!

[@TalkingSasquach]

NGL I was super awkward around both you and Derek, I respect you guys so much for being the real deal makers/creators. It was great to meet you and next time I'll try to act more like a human lol.

[@moormoor4281]

Love ❤️ from England

[@Agent_Orange_Peel]

That is a wild trip! I read all about the delays getting there from a lot of people. Didn’t think that going home would be the worst story.

[@maskedman1337]

Air travel has gotten SO BAD I've stopped flying. I used to be addicted to travel (25 countries, 3x as many trips)...but no more unless it's a bucket-list thing.

[@adamkempers402]

10K overweight?!? I’ve NEVER heard of this it’s insane! Ive been on small planes where they arrange a handful of passengers from one side to the other or back to front and vice versa. 10K overweight seems like something that should’ve been flagged by their systems WAY in advance.

[@TalkingSasquach]

@@adamkempers402 for real. It was quite literally insane

[@TheGeekiestGuy]

So stoked you look like you had a great time in the club. Glad you brought ear plugs.🤣👌🏾🤙🏾

[@smevy_main]

Gf, "Go check if sasquach posted a new video." Me, "i dont think there is, but I'll check" Literally, the first video that pops up when i open youtube is yours wooohooo!!

[@sidhayn]

I was the one with the wifi logo, Iceman had an NFC logo tattoo :-)

[@Spencer.76]

What an epic adventure!

[@elitecpudoc329]

I was at a tech conference in vegas in july and ran into a similar case where what happens in vegas stays in vegas, but i didnt know i was happens. thakfully i was only delayed 6 hours, but it could have been worse.

[@ShaggyTheGrimReaper]

amazing video, talk about surreal from meeting 0day to many other legends alike yourself i wish i could have gone gald you made it home, bein a introvert as well tho i feel you on the social meter

[@L0rdK0nda]

Finally!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Sounds like a great time......mostly. LOL

[@taipanino]

wish i could be there keep up the good work

[@JayR079]

Great video. Very descriptive!

[@Razor1138]

Is DefCon worth going to even if you don’t do any hacking stuff, currently learning python. Or would it be a waste of money?

[@TalkingSasquach]

I think DC was 100% worth it for sure. Just try to plan on making the most out of it, figure out presentations you want to see, etc

[@Razor1138]

@@TalkingSasquach Since it’s a ways away till the next one, is there anything that would be worthwhile to maybe learn to open another level of fun to the con?

[@TalkingSasquach]

@@Razor1138 there are a ton of smaller local conventions also. Check out BSides

[@TheGeekiestGuy]

Dammit. I wanna chill with you awesome peoples. Maybe next year. I'd drive out of I lived on the mainland. Paradise tax gets me again. I bet Derek and Make it Hackin were good company. DeadMaus must be awesome, too. I have so many questions... I need to get to the next Defcon....

[@maskedman1337]

You had such a great time because you found your tribe. Simple as that :)

[@FiveWhiskers]

Great video sasq, Im into SDR, make a video on poscag, ADS-B and noaa (scientificbrad)

[@martinospapantoniou4491]

Can u do a video for find my but with air tag version ? I’m trying to take raw info from nrf app on iPhone and cannot

[@SandraWuerthner]

So sad, that i didn't see you. Whats my first Def Con - it was so amazing. Greetings from Austria

[@reillydunn7151]

so cool!! are canadians aloud at defcon lol,

[@Bl4kH4t]

mmmmmm Port of Subs :D love all the great foods in Vegas!

[@BaroWolf]

I flew from Sydney to Las Vegas for DefCon and EVERY FLIGHT was delayed...

[@vincentparent2851]

I think my patience at the airport would of lasted a hour then I'd got a rental and drove. Lol

[@whiteb0rd]

NEVER depart Vegas / DEFCON on Sunday. Fly out early Monday, or better Tuesday. Rooms get cheaper (typically), you get to go to the closing ceremony, which is a big deal. If you do DEFCON the right way, you're going to be a waste product for the better part of a week anyway, might as well rest up there and enjoy a day or two on the strip.

[@chrism3034]

was my 6th Defcon, would have been great to have had a chance to run into you.

[@StevesLockPicking]

Looks like fun at defcon, wish I could have been there

[@josephmoreno3375]

Sweet shirt!

[@cdchanger5]

the shirt is so 🔥 i NEED it

[@TalkingSasquach]

I actually had to go back the next day at DefCon because they ran out of my size!

[@brians8930]

I was on the lookout for you, but never saw you. Maybe next year?

[@deathspirate2170]

Dammit dude I didn't know you were there too! Sorry I missed you

[@derbemobile]

DEFCON is must do!

[@jolt06]

Waited an hour to take off on my flight almost missed my connecting flight because of this.

[@chris12x1]

i need to go for sure next time!

[@WangLees]

It's not what like it was but still a good gathering and meet up

[@smegheadGOAT]

You know its over when ...

[@RoyalReptilePirates]

I will go next year!!!!!

[@hashwizard2544]

[@BigManV2]

13 mins ago is crazy

[@maskedman1337]

If you're on the artist's list, yes, that's what nightclubs are like. If you're not on a list, you're just around a bunch of drunk pretentious people trying to "make the scene" and presented with overpriced drinks.
