DEF CON 25 was only my second time at ‘CON.  I still felt like a n00b and still know nothing.  But, I came to the realization that these past two years I did ‘CON wrong.  I once again went to way too many talks.  Once again, I tried to plan too much ahead of time.  Once again, I spent way too much time in lines.  But, What I did do was talk to more people, not stress going to all the talks I wanted to and did not stay out way too late Friday night.

For the next time, when ever that is, I need to participate in villages and challenges to get the true essence of DEF CON.  The talks are available later and are just as good to digest later.  I am still just not sure what I want to focus on.  Maybe packet hacking village, that seems like the easiest to jump into.  I am also interested in the darknet competition.
