Disclaimer...

I am no hacker nor I claim to be a security expert... all I think is the effort put by the people of HITB and DEFCON is good and I do hell agree that knowledge should be kept free...Anyways those pictures were grabbed from DEFCON website and it belongs to either DEFCON or their respective creators...I just think they are kewl...so I put them here :P thx.
