FAQ:
How do I sign up?
Come by the Packet Hacking Village, and drop by the WiFi Sheep Hunt desk. Say Hi!, and give your full name, address, phone number and bosses name to a “farm” hand. OR at the very least give a team name and email address so we can identify you. WE WILL need a picture of you if you are a prize winner however. So if you are camera shy you better buy a mask or bribe a stand-in for the picture.
Wait but what clues am I sniffing for exactly?
Well, we have AeroScout Tags that are broadcasting messages that will help you because those messages will be clues as to how to connect to the access points. We also may or may not have devices constantly connected to those access points that may or may not help you find the right access points to connect to. Remember bogus clues, tags, hints, devices do exist.
Where will I need to be in order to receive the clue packets?
You will want to stay close to the Packet Hacking Village and preferably close to the WiFi Sheep Hunt information desk. Well, that is if you don't have specific types of antennas to be farther that is.
What hours will the clues be transmitting?
Contest equipment will be broadcasting starting August 6th Thursday morning around 10am until August 9th Sunday morning around 10am.
How do I know what access points to actually connect to?
Here is your first hint, they will have at the very least the following letters in the broadcasting SSID name: S H F I W. But you know what, our admins have just informed me they do not know if they set the access points to actually broadcast an SSID or not. I guess you have your work cut out for you.
When I successfully connect to an access point how do I get the credit for bringing that sheep to the “farm”?
Well you do have an SSID and a password and/or username and password combination don't you? I think you just answered your own question. Keep that information with you and if you want verification maybe one of the “farm” hands will help you, or maybe they will not.
Will hints be provided on twitter like they were last year?
I don't know what do you think? Maybe you should follow @wallofsheep and #WiFiSheepHunt and find out.
Will you take bribes for clues and help or assistance?
MOST DEFINITELY! FOOD, DRINKS, SWAG, ETC are all fair game. This is DEF CON. Now remember we didn't say they would be good clues but they could be. You have been warned.
What if I choose the hack the WiFi Sheep Hunt contest wireless access points route how do I get credit?
You may want to read the fine print at the top (see previous blog post). OR you can show your work to a “farm” hand and they will give you credit. But remember, you can only win in this way if no other Sheep Herder brings all three sheep back to the “farm”.
There are other ways to play so at least one of the other ways does not involve connecting to a contest access point. You will get notoriety however because we will tweet what you did and give you props!
When will the winners be announced?
The winners will be announced at the Packet Hacking Village and on Twitter on or about August 9th at noon.
NOTE: For logistic reasons YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN A PRIZE!
I repeat YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN A PRIZE!
So for example, if you are the 1 st prize winner but are not able to pickup the prize you will get the props on twitter but the prize will be given to the next eligible contestant with the most sheep brought to the “farm”.

DEFCON 23: WiFi Sheep Hunt Summary of Contest
WiFi Sheep Hunt Summary of Contest:
Hello potential WiFi Sheep Hunt contestants! We have lost our Ovis aries, or Sheep for the biologically impaired. Your job as a Sheep Herder is to help us find our sheep and return them to the “farm”.
The first Sheep Herder to successfully return all lost sheep to the “farm” will be the 1 st Prize Winner of the WiFi Sheep Hunt contest.
This year we have 3 ways of sheep herding (playing). You choose the way you want to play, but choose carefully, as once you choose you may not switch to another way of playing. A Sheep Herder may be an individual or a team but as a team you may only choose one way of playing.
Sheep Herder Type 1
This type of sheep herder has a computer, tablet or other type device with wireless packet sniffing capabilities/skills and is not afraid to use them at DEF CON. These individuals are brave, very brave.
Sheep Herder Type 2
This type of sheep herder has no computing device whatsoever, which in some cases may be a wise choice at DEF CON, but wants to join in on the fun. YES, you do not need a phone, you do not need a tablet and you do not need a computer to play as type 2 sheep herder.
Sheep Herder Type 3
This type of sheep herder has a phone, tablet or other type device with NFC reading capabilities and is not afraid to use them at DEF CON. You did make a backup image of your phone and/or tablet before you arrived didn't you?
NOTE: In years past we have frowned upon hacking our contest equipment but this year we have had change of heart, as long as you don't render it useless.
DO NOT BRICK IT.
Our equipment is dated, has not been patched and may be vulnerable to attacks. This is DEF CON btw. Hack at least 2 of our wireless access points and ONLY OUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS and prove to us YOU hacked them by changing their broadcasting SSIDs to something that identifies YOU and if no one returns all our sheep to the “farm” then you win 1st Prize. You must have signed up as a Sheep Herder Type 1 to win in this way.
