+1 to this. During the presentation they scan the entire internet for open VNC ports that do not require authentication. There were many found (thousands?), the most surprising being a mainframe that looked like it controlled a railway interchange. I was the guy who gave them the iPhone backdoor port ;-)

Like #89? The control system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOWexFaRylM#t=2869

That's the one.

I was having trouble streaming the talks from defcon.org so I decided to mirror it here http://104.236.115.7/ I will probably kill the server in about a week, when load to Defcon servers go down. The default file indexer for Nginx truncates the file names which makes it hard to find a video, but just appending the file name should play the correct video.

I added a page to show the full title of videos to make it easier to find specific talks.

A torrent is also available[1] The official page seems under heavy load ATM. [1] https://www.defcon.org/html/links/dc-torrent.html

I'm surprised to see that Defcon recommends the closed source uTorrent.

While not being open source, BitTorrent Inc. does promote the open standardization of the protocol[1], and employs the creator of bittorrent, Bram Cohen[2], as chief scientist.

μTorrent is, I think, the best suggestion for a client for people who need client suggestions. (having tried a large number of very mediocre competitors, free, open, or otherwise)

I usually stick to rtorrent on the commandline, but that's a shitty suggestion for helping bring awareness to hacker issues.

Mass Scanning the Internet is a must-watch. Edit: it's available youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOWexFaRylM

Viss is pretty funny on this one. A complaint form that goes to nowhere? Turn it into a tumblr feed!

In passing he also mentions a Tumblr posting screenshots from scans. This appears to be the page: http://mainframesproject.tumblr.com/

Personally, I think qbittorrent is a better general suggestion.

Direct link to the "Speaker & Slides video"-torrent: https://www.defcon.org/html/torrent/DEF%20CON%2022%20video%2...

For information, if other's are on a system with an SSD that's filling up: that's 26.9 GiB.

Thanks for the link, btw :)

I've used both utorrent and qbittorrent and the only difference is the latter does not have any ads bundled.

If anyone is looking for alternative, Deluge is open source and very good (http://deluge-torrent.org/)
