Defcon is much more like a family reunion than a scary thing. This year hundreds of hackers literally opened their veins to give blood in honor of one of our own who needed it. The hacking of other attendees that goes on has more of a prank feel to it (much like a lot of the con!) than a scary thing. It's just a bunch of people getting together to talk, do interesting things and/or get drunk together.
