The term DEF CON comes from the movie WarGames, referencing the U.S. Armed Forces defense readiness condition (DEFCON).

In the movie, Las Vegas was selected as a nuclear target, and since the event was being hosted in Las Vegas, it occurred to Jeff Moss to name the convention DEFCON 2017.

The Black Badge is the highest award DEFCON 2017 gives to contest winners of certain events. Capture the flag (CTF) winners sometimes earn these, as well as Hacker Jeopardy winners.

The contests that are awarded Black Badges vary from year to year, and a Black Badge allows free entrance to DEFCON for life, potentially a value of thousands of dollars.
