The same for every USENIX (regular, Security and LISA) I've been to
for the last two years.  Also at ISOC NDSS last three years.

A few hardy souls brought floppies with various SSH binaries, as well
as one person who downloaded the source from his home site, and then
compiled it on the local machine with a GCC binary which he had also
brought from "home".

I'm not that paranoid :-)
