Interested in registering for the TeleChallenge at DEF CON 31? Check out our official announcement here: forum.defcon.org/node/246589
We're so proud of FoxBox Dialing Services. They have won one of the most difficult contests at @defcon (which is designed to require a registered team's entire DEF CON to play) not once, but twice.
This year we won @telechallenge again!! I may revisit this thread I wrote last year and/or adapt it to mastodon, but for now here's some notes about how crazy this game is and why we love it so much.
I hope you'll play along with us next year!
Even though @defcon is over, the TeleChallenge is still running. This is the first time we have ever done this. Want to play? It's not too late to start! Current scoreboard: scores.telechallenge.io/

Packing up after @telechallenge is always an interesting stroll through the notes of the insane person I was last night
The TeleChallenge has a winner this year, who will be recognized at DEF CON Contest Closing Ceremonies at 2pm in Track 1-2.
Who was just written up for being eaten by a grue @defcon? This guy: @evilpacket

Phona welcomes our new employee Bill who replaces Bob Bob, who unfortunately violated Phona policy leading to termination.
Phona IT would like to inform all employees that our new password policy is now being enforced across the board. Your compliance is appreciated. Thank you.
Our SAN administrator discovered that there was a LUN offline in the backup system. I would like to be clear that this is not Phona's fault, but the fault of our storage vendor. Please direct all complaints to JT Storage, Inc. and kindly try again.
TECH NOTE: Some players are using automated dialers which are dialing too fast. This may cause DTMF registration failure. We recommend using the Phone Qualification Tool to test your phones and ensure that your DTMF registration reliably occurs.
HINT: All voicemail passwords are 4 digits/characters. It's important to be a sharpshooter with your PINs.
