On the other hand, they might just PCAP all of _your_ traffic, and wait until some flaw like DSA-1571-1 surfaces, and go back a week, a month, a year later to recover the plaintext of all your encrypted sessions.


this is a risk you already run anytime you connect to any network so i'm not really sure why it makes defcon "more" dangerous.


When you connect to any other wireless network, there a chance that your traffic is being sniffed.

When you connect to the wireless at DefCon, the only real question is how many people are sniffing it, and for what. :)
