Someone had a talk at the DEFCON blue team village about police software and how trivial it was to find something. I think it was like database creds in a DLL and apostrophes in fields causing errors (likely SQLi). I can't remember if it was something they ran in the patrol vehicles or at precincts.
Linecon was terrible in this last convention(my first). Missed out on so many things I wanted to see because Linecon just got out of hand. I guess it is to be expected. :/
CCC being a conference of just ~10k allowed event goers to experience much more.
Well it was secure when released with support for XP and Vista business.
