Since you two (ghz and pdx6) are arriving within minutes of each other, it may be good to meet at baggage pickup and call me (775-771-4472). If I'm at LAS by then, I'll pick you up. If I don't pick up the phone or can't make it in time, go to the taxi stand, and I'll meet you at the hotel. --Fo0bar 04:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meet up

[edit] Internet

fo0bar will be bringing Son of FrankenDell with him. The original FrankenDell from Defcon14 would have been nostalgic, but this Dell won't need power tools to work at the Riv, nor will it attempt to attack ghz again.

Here's what should be coming as part of the network:

  • Son of Frankendell
  • PCMCIA-to-PCI adapter as purchased from Fry's during Defcon14
  • Orinoco Silver card for inserting in said adapter
  • WRT54GL/S for wireless
  • Cheap LCD
  • Roll-up keyboard
  • Mouse
  • 8-port switch
  • Screwdriver set
  • Extra/spare/just-in-case equipment:
    • PCI wired NIC
    • PCMCIA wired NIC
    • CDRs
    • Possibly a spare laptop
    • Modem maybe? Do they still make those?

Son of Frankendell will be running OpenVPN and routing all Internet traffic to an external location (probably a Linode). Be prepared for possibly pooling for $9 per day for Riviera internet access, but it shouldn't be necessary (wink wink).
