When the social engineer is packing up his office, some items require extra special handling… these trophies from @sec_defcon are always proudly displayed!

For my first @defcon, i competed in the @sec_defcon 's vishing competition and placed in 7th.
I had so much fun! Thanks to all the organizers, coaches, and judges!
The Brothers Shamus scored another Dundee from @sec_defcon 😎
Till next year, friends. We’re staying the course and preparing for a stronger entry at DEFCON 34.
Also, congrats to Hall & OSINT. He worked his ass off and earned that first place finish!
Thank you to everyone who made the #sec and our competitions at #defcon33 possible. I’m so grateful to be surrounded by those who give so much to achieve our vision. Big ideas to raise the bar next year. Until then, enjoy our sweaty end-of-the-line selfie. Time to roll out.
Major props to @JC_SoCal & @_sn0ww for creating a mini hacker museum of one of the cellular devices @kevinmitnick’s used for operational security during his time on the run.
If you would like to see it - it is currently being housed at the @sec_defcon village.
To learn more about Kevin’s story check out Ghost in the Wires a @nytimes bestselling book - his memoir.

Our AI botsplained what a cell phone was to this poor dude and we ended up getting first place in Battle of the Bots!
@RachelTobac@_sn0ww@JC_SoCal@sec_defcon you guys rule
I also volunteer hundreds of hours a year giving back to the hacker / Cyber community because many people need guidance
Organizing a DC village is 1000s of hours of work for a team like the @sec_defcon and unfortunately it is a financially net-negative and mostly thankless job
