DEFCON 21 was in Las Vegas, NV from August 02-04, 2013 and we were there. Our real-time posts, references, and links are available over on @Technewsradio on Twitter.
We have a detailed report (PDF) from the sessions attended if you are interested. Just drop us an email to get the full report or a request via message on Twitter. A podcast summary is planned but not promised at this time.
