Shmoocon 2006: Overview of Engaging Hacker Arcade Events and Activities

Well, we’ve come to the end of my Shmoocon 2006 coverage. The conference wasn’t all presentations though, there were a lot of other fun activities: The Hacker Arcade featured arcade games that had been modified to generate USB tokens that you could later redeem for prizes. The folks at 757.org modified a skill crane so that it could be controlled from the web. Of course, toys like this at a hacker convention spawned some creative solutions. David Rhodes scripted the skill crane’s web interface so that it would try every possible coordinate pair and ended up with an armful of prizes. Another attendee discovered that the USB tokens weren’t case sensitive and generated a couple hundred thousand prize tokens. . . Shmoocon 2006 offered an exhilarating mix of activities that energized attendees with inspiration and excitement, fostering a vibrant community of hackers and professionals.
