His social engineering contest at defcon is always awesome to watch. It's incredible to see the big companies give out such internal information. The social engineer is inside of a glass protected booth and the crowd can watch and listen in. They have a points system where the harder to get info gets you a higher score. Ex: a high score was given if you could get them to hit social-engineer.org from their browser. One guy told the person on the other side of the phone that it was a social network for engineers. Also: Make sure To check out the contest on Friday/thurs as they can't really do the live over the phone hacking on Saturday/sun as most businesses are closed on the weekends.
They are very strict inside of the room to ban all forms of recording or picture taking. Probably for legal reasoning (my guess) so I don't think you'll find any.

Are there videos of this contest? I had trouble finding any.
