I went there with my iPhone 6S and a Macbook Pro, and was fine. Granted, I spent all of DEFCON holed up in Caesar's doing the CTF, but I didn't encounter any issues.

DEF CON provides conference WiFi with preauthorized certificates (WPA2), so if you remove all other known open networks then you can have secure and sane WiFi at the conference.

broadcom disagrees.

Are you referring to a bug which was fixed prior to Defcon?

Emphasis mine. Merely "removing" networks from your device does not preclude you from being attacked. Broadcom and all the locked-down devices that aren't iphones or high-end android devices who use them demonstrate this quite nicely.

I haven't heard any reports of people using the Broadcom attack on a vulnerable device at DEFCON (And there are a whole lot of people monitoring the airwaves)
