Speaker presentations and materials are put on-line generally two weeks after the event. Audio and video are generally available 6-9 months after the conference. If a speaker is listed on the conference page, but their speech is not present here it generally means there is no available audio, video or materials. Archive pages are collected by event, then divided by year. Looking for media, speakers and briefing info? Each link here takes you to the event microsite where you can find all event information.

DEF CON
Skywing In August 2008 Verizon Wireless released a firmware upgrade for their xv6800 (rebranded HTC Titan) line of Windows Mobile smartphones that provided a number of new features previously unavailable on the device on the initial release firmware. In particular, support for accessing the device's built-in Qualcomm gpsOne assisted GPS chipset was introduced with this update. However, Verizon Wireless elected to attempt to lock down the GPS hardware on xv6800 such that only applications authorized by Verizon Wireless would be able to access the device's built-in GPS hardware and perform location-based functions (such as GPS-assisted navigation). The mechanism used to lock down the GPS hardware is entirely client-side based, however, and as such suffers from fundamental limitations in terms of how effective the lockdown can be in the face of an almost fully user-programmable Windows Mobile-based device.
