What does DEFCON look like? It generally looks like America except for the male/female ratio. That is changing as more hackers grow up, get married and bring their wives. I talked to a lady who was at DEFCON for the first time. Her children are now grown up enough for her to get away and join us.
Years ago it had a massive delegation of pale, somewhat autistic teen agers with few social skills. They have now grown up, some are getting a little sun and some are getting more social but social graces are still not their strong suit.
Many try to find ways to stand out. Kilts are worn. I walked behind a guy who had a plastic Viking horned helmet. Hair is colored with whatever will stand out. Mohawks and mullets are everywhere.
And increasingly the boring middle is being seen.
