How do I "not get hacked" at security conferences like Defcon and Blackhat?

My 3 Tips: for Defcon, Blackhat, etc:

  1. If you dont drink a lot at home dont drink a lot in Vegas.
  2. If you dont work for a company dont wear their shirt (atleast in vegas).
  3. Go somewhere for a nice dinner and dont make a vendor pay for it.

Bonus Tip:
There are 30,000 people in Vegas who do what you do for a living. Make a friend… not everyone is trying to social engineer you.
