The Box Challenge 2025


Details
Many of the NSL keyholders and members are staff at Defcon and that weekend flies by way too fast. We rarely get a chance to chill and certainly are too busy running around to do something like talk to one another or meet new people. So - we're doing "Recovery Con" at NSL instead. Come take the opportunity to hang out, make some new friends, look at some cool gadgets, and participate in some hacking.
We'll be running "THE BOX" an electronic-tamper challenge in which you need to figure out how to defuse a simulated bomb. Come blow up and respawn at the back of the line! No one solved this at Defcon this year, and ~850 victims were claimed by The Box.
There will also be board games, pinball, video games, BBQ, and Hammer Jenga, as is tradition. If you'd like to bring something, we always welcome drinks, food for the grill, or something to snack on.
Hope you can make it!
=============================
Where do I park? / How do I get inside?
Parking: There is free street parking on N Ontario St. It is usually easy to find a spot after business hours or on weekends.
Getting inside: Once you park, head down the walkway, we are the long building in the back (see link for overhead directions)
