DEF CON is an annual hacker convention held in Las Vegas,Ā Nevada.

It is also known as DEFCON, Defcon, or DC. DEF CON, founded in 1993 by Jeff Moss, is today regarded as one of the worldā€™s most prominent and well-known computer security conferences.

Computer security specialists, journalists, lawyers, federal government personnel, security researchers, students, and hackers are among those who attend the event.

DEF CON serves as a forum for the newest innovations in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be ā€œhacked.ā€

The conference features many speaker tracks covering a wide range of computer and hacking issues, cyber-security challenges, and competitions known as hacking wargames. DEF CON is famed for its contests, which range from constructing the longest Wi-Fi connection to figuring out the best way to cool a drink in the Nevada heat.
