Defcon is more tolerant of alternative views, such as open support for Anonymous, the hacktivist group that has launched denial of service attacks against major corporations in the wake of corporations turning their backs on Wikileaks and Sony’s battle with hacker Geohot. For many years, it was at the downscale Riviera Hotel this year it moved upscale to the larger Rio Hotel. The Defcon conference is anything but corporate. Now it has become the big hacker event of the year with more than 10,000 attendees. Defcon began as a party for a visiting Canadian hacker. It was started in 1993 by Jeff Moss, a hacker also known as Dark Tangent.

The two conferences exhibit the extremes of hacker and security culture, with federal agents and major corporations descending on Black Hat in large numbers and mohawk-styled hackers and Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyers attending Defcon. Thousands of security professionals, hackers, federal agents and media descended on Las Vegas this week to attend the Black Hat and Defcon conferences.
