DATA DUPLICATION VILLAGE DETAILS for DEF CON 25!

July 22, 2017  /  Scott Martin


Last years DEF CON data duplication village was a massive success with about 2 Petabytes of data duplicated and pushed out the door. We're ready to do it again!

HOW IT WORKS
DEF CON will provide a core set of drive duplicators as well as data content options. It will be a first come, first served and duplicate 'till we drop. Bring labeled 6TB SATA blank drives, and submit them in the queue for the data you want. Come back in 14-24 hours to pick up your data-packed drive. Space allowing, the last drop-offs will be no later than Saturday afternoon and the last drives will run overnight with the final pickup time at 11:30am.

WHAT YOU GET

  • 6TB drive 1-3: Updated archive of infocon.org plus other "direct from DT" content
  • 6TB drive 2-3: freerainbowtables.com GSM A51 and MD5 hash tables (tables #1-2)
  • 6TB drive 3-3: more rainbowtables, lanman, mysqlsha1, ntlm, and some word lists (tables #2-2)

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 6TB SATA3 7200rpm drives - one for each source/copy

If you want a full copy of everything you will need three drives.

Be aware that we cleared all the Vegas area stores of every single 6TB drive last year so get them now!

WHERE TO BE
The Data Duplication Village is located in the Naples room of the main Promenade level. Look for “DUPER” on the DC25 Map

SIDE NOTES
Duplicating a 6TB (About 5.46 usable) drive at an average of 120 Megabytes a second comes out to just under 14 hours per drive. With all about 16 duplicators doing about 95 drives concurrently, we expect to push about 11GB per second out to the drives for 3 days straight. We did 335 drives for DC24 and we're hoping to do even more for DC25!

See you in Vegas!
