Is it just me or does it look a little weak this year on the BH/DC party seen? You would figure that with the 20th year of DefCon that there would be parties everywhere thrown by vendors galore. Instead they will probably spend a ridiculous amount of money on a booth that everyone will walk on by – and too much on Booth Babes.
@Dawg This is typical leading up to the conference. A week before a whole bunch will pop up.
ExploitHub BH/DC Party
– Sky Villa Suite @ The Palms
– 10pm-4am Thursday night
– Open bar
– Find someone associated with ExploitHub for invite

This party was pretty legit! Looking forward to the Hacker Halted party in Miami as well, in October. Last years was great, casino theme, and I didn’t lose any money!
Yo! How are we looking for 2013?!?!?! Heading out and would like to get the info on this years parties. Thank you for making last year a blast!
