Every talk has weighted moments pulled from its transcript, so the player can skip the parts that are setup. Open a talk and use the three buttons under the tabs:
| Fulleverything, as broadcast | 45 min |
| Summarymethod and findings, no framing | ~20 min |
| Highlightsthe findings only — if you watched nothing else you would still get the result | 8–12 min |
The marks on the scrubber are those moments. Taller pink ones are the payload. Tap one to jump straight there.
Day is the top row — leave it off and everything else searches across both days. critical / high comes next: that is severity of what the talk describes, and it is the fastest way to the consequential work. intro / working / deep is how much background the talk assumes. Then topic, affected system and technique, which are three separate axes rather than one tag soup, so "anything touching Windows kernel" and "anything about BLE" are different questions.
Search covers titles, speakers and every transcript line — 21,000 of them. If you half-remember a phrase from a talk, that is the way back to it.
Italic titles were never spoken aloud. 84 of the 167 talks have no title anywhere in
the recording; those names are descriptive, written from the content, and marked
no title spoken. They are not the real titles.
rerun means archival — a replay of an older DEF CON that was never on the
schedule. 60 of the 167 are reruns, and 16 recordings air more than once.
Moments tab lists every marked moment with its timestamp. Transcript follows the
video as it plays, and clicking any line seeks there.
Copy gives you the talk's canonical id and a link back to this exact view, plus a
timestamped link into DEF CON's own stream.
Recent appears once you have opened something, so an accidental close is one tap from
being undone. Everything resumes where you left it.
