How not to get pwned at Defcon

> Sounds harsh but do you really need to take your laptop? 

I wouldn't bring anything valuable.  I wopuld also not bring any
personal information on a computer. re-image it BEFORE you come.

I found a site that was selling eeepc-900 for $200. I'm adding a
10400uAh battery ($48). 

I'm loading it with BT 4.0, and disabling wireless 99.99% of the time,
aand NOT loging into any of my accounts with that laptop. I'm adding
other protection mechanisms in the days to come.

> You can check your mail and twitter on the iPhone, do you need much else?

Ahem. There will be a talk on hacking iPhones. Since some of the work uses
SMS messages, it's not unlikely that someone will post the exploit on the
blackhat/defcon twitter feeds.
