We’re Built Different.
🚀 Bringing hackers together to do cool shit takes work, so we’re built differently from other cons.
We focus on Hacking Magic - i.e., technical, novel, and fun! Bonus if it’s particularly spicy research, a new offensive technique/tool, or an open-source tool release.
A PWN contest where hackers drop their most impactful, cursed, or meme-worthy 0days in end-of-life devices & software on stage for $$$. Spotlighting next-gen researchers, doing public service, and making 0day fun again.
A true, 24 hr, OG hackathon where hackers and regional linguists pair up to tackle censorship and digital authoritarianism. Teams mix technical + contextual skills, do research, and present findings.
8 Villages (Biohacking, Blue Team, Red Team, ICS, Maritime, Aerospace, Lockpicking) team up for a Jeopardy-style CTF. Both newcomers + experts can rack up points, win prizes, and explore every Village. 🏆✨
Closed-door conversations where policymakers get a notepad, and hackers take the lead. If DC wants to write rules for cyberspace, we think they should start by listening to people who break those rules for a living.
