We are working on some back end server movements that is taking away from adding new content, but in the next week or two we should be back up to speed. We have a lot of podcasts people don’t seem to care about, so we might decide to stop supporting them unless some folks want to help us update […]

We are working to add the Net NTLMv1 Raindbow Table to our collection. It’s in .rt format and takes up 8TB, but compressing it will get it down to 4TB. If anyone knows of a utility to convert from .rt to .rt2 that would be great as that is just as good as compression.

Oh no. I see there are many, many older Security BSides videos in our archive that need to have English captions generated and embedded. That’s going to take some serious time.

A glimps behind the curtain as the @InfoCon Security BSides @SecurityBSidesGlobal archive collection is getting 41 conference updates. #InfoSec #InfoCon

After that large update of https://infocon.org/cons/ conferences now I am beginning work on a big Security BSides @SecurityBSidesGlobal update, should take a week or more! #InfoCon

New big batch of cons is up, torrents are tracking and ready for everyone to download and share! https://infocon.org/cons We are have taken feedback and are generating all new torrents at 32meg piece size instead of 64 to more compatible with older / different clients.

A new batch is up, but the torrent hashes still need to be added to our tracker. Once that is done we will do some promotion.

We are in the process of migrating to a new server for encoding and processing new content. Once back up and working we will begin on the next big batch of updates.

Primary P2P server migrated successfully and is seeding files, but we are still debugging a problem with contacting our trackers.

Our main tracker software has been upgraded, please let us know if you notice and changes or problems! https://infocon.org #InfoCon #Hacking #BitTorrent

Hopefully this is the year #qBIttorrent releases one client that supports v1 and v2 instead of keeping them separate! One can hope. As one of the largest and most popular #bittorrent clients that decision has wrecked adoption of v2 torrents with all of their improvements. Even #Transmission […]

Giant update of the concept Fiona Cole ton do e, now just need to update the Security BSides sub directory and then all cons will have been updated to AV1 for pseudo-streaming and English captions added! https://infocon.org/cons #InfoCon

Almost done with manually joining all the parts of early SOURCE conference talks. Once done I’ll encode and caption, and get them online. That’s almost the last of the defunct conferences getting re-encoded to AV1 with captions.

Time to rest. That was a giant push to get all the updates of the cons directory on the server. Next is the long process of generating all the torrents and getting them in the tracker and on the torrent servers. That will take weeks, but at least the website has the latest.

The RTX6000Ada is cooking along, encoding and captioning. A big update in the works, should be a week or two until the next one goes live.

We have started a project to re-encode all the past conferences that are no longer operating. Generally we just focus on updates, but over time as more cons stop operating we are leaving bhind those in he older video format (HEVC) and the newer, streamable […] [Original post on defcon.social]

Updated Botconf @botconf , CyCon NATO, DeepSec @deepsec , 44CON @44CON , and DNS OARC @dnsoarc conferences now live! https://infocon.org/

I’m looking for audio of videos from early Dutch Hacker cons, does anyone know if they exist for Hacking In Progress (HIP97), Hacking at the End of the Universe (HEU93), or Galactic Hacker Party (GHP89) ?

In celebration of WHY2025 we are cleaning up and reorganizing our collection of Dutch Hacker Camp events.

We got through almost all the drives at the #DefCon Data Duplication Village #DDV - One failed duplicator prevented us from fulfilling the last of the VX Underground June 2025 collection. Next year we will add an SSD only duplicator for those that want extra fast dupes.

Starting to build the #DEFCON Data Duplication Village HDD for all the https://infocon.org/cons/ files, about 5+ TB in size.

Done with the big pre #DEFCON conference archives update! Starting g with 8dot8 and ending with ZeroNights, about 25 conferences updated and English captions added. Enjoy! https://infocon.org/con/

It’s getting close to #DEFCON so we will finish up our current encoding and get everything online and build the updated hard drives for the Data Duplication Village. Once built I’ll post the stats of what the archive is like now.

Finally getting around to something I’ve always wanted to do. Fix the @ShmooCon videos for 2008, 2009, and 2010. Each talk is a series of many small video files. Because I’m in the process of transcoding to AV1 and adding captions to #ShmooCon, I’m finally going to manually join all the […]

The slowest party of preparing videos is generating the audio captions. There are some options to speed it up, but it reduces accuracy somewhat. We don’t want to have to ever regenerate them so it’s an upfront cost. Currently generating for all of the HITB and ShmooCon talks, it will take more […]

Recent #InfoCon updates: These conference series have been completely re-encoded into AV1 format to pseudo-stream in your browser. All videos have had English captions generated and embedded into the video as well as saved in a subdirectory […] [Original post on defcon.social]

Grinding away on some new updates

We have rebuilt our primary #bittorrent server and are reloading seeds now. In the next few days all the rainbow tables, wordlists, and cons should be available again! https://infocon.org/

InfoCon.org

InfoCon.org is an archive of hacking and security conference videos, documentaries, rainbow tables, word lists and podcasts.

Our tracker server will be down for a while for updates and upgrades, we will post once all is back online
