Be a member of the jury as two lawyers prosecute and defend a hacker (live on the stand) in a made up scenario. You, the audience, will decide if the hacker was caught in the act, or if the attribution was all a false flag. Learn through the trial what evidence you don’t want to leave behind in an op, what D&R can and should collect, and how criminals who conduct cybercrime actually get prosecuted.

DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied, and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.
