    The Shell On Demand Appliance Machine (S.O.D.A. Machine) at DEF CON provided by the National Upcycled Computing Collective, Inc. (NUCC).

    So, what's the S.O.D.A. Machine all about?

    Picture this:

    You're at DEF CON, thirsty for some hacking. You're looking for a virtual machine (VM) to play with but don't want to be chained to your laptop.

    Enter the Shell On Demand Appliance:

    This heavily modified VM is your gateway to an anonymous VM, available in the Chillout Lounge and accessible over the DEF CON network.

    A fusion of hardware, software, art, and hacking, all encapsulated in a project derived from recycled materials. The S.O.D.A. Machine provides a way for Humans to experience the DEF CON network in a way the secure WiFi won't allow, because the datacenter is inside the S.O.D.A. Machine and directly connected to the NOC.

    Simply insert cash or coins into the bill or coin acceptor to get started. The lights on the buttons will change color depending on availibility.

    A green light means the VM is available and ready.

    An amber light requests the user to insert more money to ensure fair distribution according to current resources.

    A red light denotes the selection is unavailable.

    Once you make a selection, the system will deploy the VM to the network and a receipt will be printed.

    On the receipt, login credentials are provided for you to access your virtual machine via remote shell. You are then able to change the password, install whatever tools and applications you need, making the VM your own.

    What you do with the VM is up to you. Should you choose to share your virtual machine with someone outside of the DEF CON network, a Tor address is provided as well.

    All proceeds go to the National Upcycled Computing Collective, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization helping further research and education in computer science, technology and engineering as an (NTEE U41) Research Institute.​

      P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

                so if I pay on Thursday at the start of DEFCON, it will last until Sunday, right?

                also several machines not just one at Caesars Forum, 121,122,123,129,137, Chillout right?

                  It's one dollar for a VM, whether you purchase it at the start or right at the end. It will last until Sunday.

                  One machine, in the Forum Chillout only, but accessible anywhere. It's hard enough to make one of these, all of the virtual machines are hosted inside.

                    so I get root access on the Unix vm I get right?

                    also are they pre-installed for remote x11 access via x11 clients like x2go?

                      At first I thought it was a station to hack the machine for free pop but that's alot more basic than this. Lol

                        Yes, you do get root, matter of fact thats the only user on the machine. your ssh login will happen over root and will show this on the login sheet that is printed on purchase.

                        All VMs will be accessable over Local Defcon Wifi, Unique Tor Address, Sodashell.com (a public web based ssh relay for this), so you can access your shell anywhere

                        No, not really, the Hypervisor is the latest version of QEMU built from sources in non-priv sandbox mode
