The ONE!

One Schedule to Rule them All!

Welcome to the "One Schedule to Rule them All!". Thank you for your interest by using this. This is an attempt to make things easier for you, the DEF CON attendee, to figure out the when/what/where during the chaos of DEF CON 29.

It started out simple. I had a Kindle and wanted an ebook of the schedule so I didn't have to wear out the paper pamphlet by pulling it out after every talk to figure out where to go next. Back then there was only the main DEF CON tracks, not really any Villages, and production of the ebooks were easy. Over time the Village system developed with a resulting multiplication in complexity, both for attendees and for my production. The offerings no longer include epub and mobi formats and instead now include html, csv, PDF, ical, public Google calendar, and mysql dump format files. Hopefully you'll find something of use.

The intent is still to be a resource to answer the question at the end of an hour of "What's next?"

• Off-site events
• Blatent vender pitch events
• Nonspecific timed events. Unfortunately this means the contests aren't on the regular schedule.
• DEF CON events are emphasized, so BSides Las Vegas and BlackHat tend to not show up

Be sure to check out the Links section at the bottom of this. Most all of the events listed here were derived from these links and a Infoboot data feed. There is much more going on at DEF CON than what is listed here.

• Bring comfortable shoes, you'll be doing a lot more walking than you expect
• Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated
• Beware of going out doors, there's nothing like LV sun and heat
• Everything in Las Vegas is a longer walk than you think
• Relax, don't try to see everything, you'll never be able to!
• Have FUN!

And finally, this is only as good as the ideas and information used to generate it. I welcome your constructive suggestions and comments. Please send them to qumqats@outel.org

Have a good time at DEF CON 29!

Maps and detailed Village Info

AVV - Adversary Village

The "Adversary Village" is a community torqued combat readiness platform purely focused on Adversary simulation, emulation tactics, Simulation CTFs, Supply chain security attack tactics, Adversary Tactics and urban survival skills.

This is different from any of what has been covered in the existing villages because our focus is on simulation of the actions of a threat actor or an adversary and this being simulated here.

As this domain matures, we anticipate active participation from enterprises as such simulations would help immensely towards internal capacity building from having a "live fire" training opportunity. An increasing number of researchers too are focusing on building tools and techniques for simulation of various adversarial actions against an organization or Supply chain, instead of actual real-world exploitation.The goal of the Adversary Village would be to build an open Security community for the researchers and organizations, who are putting together new means and methodologies towards the simulation/emulation of adversary tactics.

ASV - Aerospace Village

The Aerospace Village at DEF CON will encompass all aspects of the aerospace sector ranging from airports, air traffic management, aircraft and space.

The aviation and space industries, security researchers, and the public share a common goal: safe, reliable, and trustworthy aviation and space operations. For too long, negative perceptions and fractured trust on all sides have held back collaboration between the aviation, space, and security researcher communities that has advanced safety, reliability, and security of other industries. As the traditional domains of aviation safety and cybersecurity increasingly overlap, more effective collaboration between stakeholders ensures we will be safer, sooner, together.

Through the Aerospace Village, the security research community invites industry leaders, researchers and academia interested in aviation and space security, safety, and resilience to attend, understand, collaborate together to achieve our common goals. Empathy and understanding build common ground, while acts and words likely to increase division between these two communities undermine these efforts. The Aerospace Village welcomes those who seek to improve aviation and space security, safety, and resilience through positive, productive collaboration among all ecosystem stakeholders.

Our Goal
The Aerospace Village is a volunteer team of hackers, pilots, and policy advisors who come from the public and private sectors. We believe the flying public deserves safe, reliable, and trustworthy air travel which is highly dependent on secure aviation and space operations.

Our Mission
Create, sustain, and grow an inclusive community focused on aerospace cybersecurity;

Inspire the next generation of aerospace cybersecurity leaders; Promote and develop aerospace cybersecurity expertise and knowledge.

The Aviation Village will do this by:
- Building connections, trust, and understanding among all Village participants. - Developing aerospace security skills among DEF CON attendees through workshops and hands-on activities. - Promoting constructive dialog through talks and interaction.?

AIV - AI Village

Artificial Learning techniques are becoming more prevalent in core security technologies like malware detection and network traffic analysis. Its use has opened up new vectors for attacks against non-traditional targets, such as deep learning based image recognition systems used in self driving cars. There are unique challenges in defending and attacking these machine learning systems that the security community needs to be made aware of. This AI Village will introduce DEF CON attendees to these systems and the state of the art in defending and attacking them. We will provide a setting to educate DEF CON at large through workshops and a platform for researchers in this area to share the latest research.

Our main focus is on expanding the hands-on activities that attendees can participate in. This year, attendees will create a realistic face using StyleGAN, learn how to generate text, and attack a discriminatory resume screening program. We'll also have talks via CFP, and workshops: both introductory ML for beginners and intermediate/advanced on Facial Recognition/Adversarial ML. We are planning three contests inside the village: one as a standard CTF, another on evading a malware classifier (Ember), and a final realtime panel of Deepfaked DarkTangent's answering personal questions and giving opinions on life, the universe, and everything!

APV - AppSec Village

The first two AppSec Villages were a resounding success. We learned that whether in person or online, our AppSec community is fantastic. We are pumped to be back bigger and better.

Come immerse yourself in everything the world of application security has to offer. Whether you are a red, blue, or purple teamer, come learn from the best of the best to exploit software vulnerabilities and secure software. Software is everywhere, and Application Security vulnerabilities are lurking around every corner, making the software attack surface attractive for abuse. If you are just an AppSec n00b or launch deserialization attacks for fun and profit, you will find something to tickle your interest at the AppSec Village.

Software runs the world. Everything from IoT, medical devices, the power grid, smart cars, voting apps - all of it has software behind it. Such a variety of topics will be reflected in our cadre of guest speakers representing all backgrounds and walks of life.

AppSec Village welcomes all travelers to choose from talks by expert community members, an all AppSec-focused CTF, contests that challenge your mind and your skillz, and more. Bring your thirst for knowledge and passion for breaking things, and your visit to AppSec Village will be a thrill!

Like in the previous villages (but better this time), we will focus our efforts on hands-on activities and practical learning activities. We are planning workshops, interactive demos, step-by-step guided walkthroughs, CTF for AppSec beginners, and a �reversed CTF� for level builders.

BCV - Blockchain Village

Blockchain Village is a 'Not for Profit' event organized as a part of Information Security conferences like DEF CON. Primary focus of Blockchain village is to promote, research, development & knowledge sharing around security of blockchain technology and applications of blockchain in the field of information security.

The village organizes hands-on workshops, contests, discussions and talks by & for the community members. The event, its members and supporters form across the world love to share the best research & latest content with our awesome community.

This year at Blockchain Village we bring back Capture-The-Coin contest running in parallel with more hands on workshops (Mathematical and Practical) along with cutting edge Talks-n-Tools, noteworthy Demos-n-Discussions, all focused on security of Blockchains and Distributed Applications.

Join us at DEF CON 29 as we celebrate the power + potential of Distributed applications, enabled by Blockchain technology.

BICV - Blacks in Cybersecurity

The Blacks In Cybersecurity (BIC) Village seeks to bring culturally diverse perspectives to the holistic Cybersecurity community; by way of a series of talks and a capture the flag event.

In providing these activities, we believe that we can normalize the discussion of deficiency and prejudices in Cybersecurity literacy, education and development that ultimately impact the progress and development of the field.

Our village programming is also designed to highlight Black experiences, innovations in the field, Black culture and Black history which is designed to encourage more diverse hobbyists and professionals to engage and contribute to this conference and the greater Cybersecurity and Hacker/Maker communities.

BHV - Bio Hacking Village

Growing from seeds of demand, the Biohacking Village emerged at DEF CON to deliver action-oriented reinvention of the safety and security of health care. THE BIOHACKING VILLAGE, a 501(c)3 organization, is uniquely poised to inform global conversations in health care cybersecurity research. Representing voices who see �code� as genetics, �subroutines� as organic processes, and �programs� as life itself the BHV has grown to become an expansive and inclusive, hands-on playground for the entire biomedical ecosystem - patients, clinicians, hackers, manufacturers, regulators, hospital administrators, and others seeking healthier futures through meaningful technology. This nimble community delivers hands-on, strident learning labs to influence in health care, industry, and manufacturing.

We bring the biomedical ecosystem to DEF CON in four ways:

Device Lab
A high-collaboration, hands-on learning environment builds trust and trustworthiness across multidisciplinary voices in healthcare, connecting security researchers, manufacturers, hospitals, and regulators in an experiential learning laboratory that encourages cross-pollination and real-world skills development. Device Lab research benefits patients and manufacturers by providing valuable, high-fidelity feedback on established, new, and developing devices.

Speaker Lab
Connection starts with shared experiences. Speakers at BHV have walked the walk - from their adventures in garage science to the emerging threats they uncover to next generation solutions and next level care. Full Stack Biotechnologists, security researchers, regulators, clinicians, citizen scientists, patients, and engineers enlighten and inspire BHV attendees through creative and collaborative discussions around emerging technologies and threats, novel work in biologics, security architectures, and the opportunities inside the interdisciplinary nature of healthcare.

Catalyst Lab
The world�s largest, meatiest problems cross through the BHV and the Catalyst Lab works to convene thought leaders, hacktivists, and manufacturers working in the biomedical industry to investigate the solutions of best fit and provide a series of tabletops for training, hands-on workshops, and solutions design that covers the entirety of the biomedical device and security ecosystem.

Capture The Flag
Hackers work to defend a hospital under siege, racing against the clock. The immersive, �learn by doing� environment challenges hackers to use their skills to anticipate, defend, and recover, as their adversary escalates their attacks throughout the game.

BTV - Blue Team Village

We're still standing for our fourth DEF CON! Coming through the looking glass to showcase the defensive side of hacking, Blue Team Village is where you can find out all the multifarious facets of what it means to be a defender. You'll be able to teach and learn about the various ways to keep people safe - and how to subvert attacker expectations to turn their methods back on them.

You'll also be able to find community and mentor-ship within the defensive hacking paradigm, allowing you to find your path within this specialization to learning new skills and refining your old ones.

If you're looking for a community of like-minded hackers with a tendency towards forensics, threat hunting, and other blue-aligned topics, come celebrate the art of defensive hacking with us!

CHV - Car Hacking Village

Learn, hack, play. The Car Hacking Village is an open, collaborative space to hack actual vehicles that you don't have to worry about breaking! Don't have tools? We'll loan you some. Never connected to a car? We'll show you how. Don't know where the controllers are? We'll show you how to take it apart.

Hybrid event this year: We'll be in-person in Las Vegas and Virtual. Check out CarHackingVillage or @CarHackVillage for up-to-date information.

Want to learn more about automotive hacking and cyber security? Check out our talks.

Want to hack mobility scooters? Yes! We'll do that to.

Also, check out the CHV CTF.

CAHV - Career Hacking Village

This isn�t just getting the next job, it is building, shifting, and presenting skills and capabilities to keep reaching the next level of where you want to go.

In 2020, studies showed that in the hacking community over 45% did not know how to find a job. Post pandemic with unemployment rising, this number has increased to 55%. These studies also show that many hackers do not know the next step in their career. From other studies, hackers have stated that they don�t know the top ways to find a job and worse, how to plan the next step in their career. While we talk about the talent shortages, we are not equipping our community with the knowledge, skills, and expertise to sustain their career search and development.

Career Hacking village provides opportunities to build out your career plan and get through the next steps. We have workshops on plan development, resume refinement, identifying mentors, and practice interviews. We will complement this with one-on-one meetings with recruiters for resume review and career mentors for frank conversations about career search and development. New this year will be adding in Mock Interviews to finetune the virtual interviewing process.

The CAHV brings the opportunity to work with the one aspect of tech careers that won�t run in the cloud - getting past recruiters and building a career that lets people match their passions with opportunities. No two paths are exactly the same.

From presentations that focus on key aspects of career search and career development to discussions with community career advisors these activities will help community members re-examine their overall career goals and tactics.

CLV - Cloud Village

With the industry shifting towards cloud infrastructure at a rapid speed, the presence of an open platform to discuss and showcase cloud research becomes a necessity.

Cloud village is an open platform for researchers interested in the area of cloud security. We plan to organize talks, tool demos, CTF and workshops around Cloud Security and advancements. We will open Call for Papers/Workshops/Tools as soon as we get an approval from DEF CON.

Our CTF will be a jeopardy style 2.5 days contest where participants will have to solve challenges around Cloud infrastructure, security, recon, etc. These challenges will cover different cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, Azure, Digital Ocean, etc. We will also reward our top 3 teams with awards.

CCV - Cryptocurrency Village

Cryptocurrency is a digital form of peer-to-peer money that is exchanged on decentralized networks independent of any central authority and is cryptographically secured. Networks operate under a set of programmatic rules, which maintains the immutability of a public ledger and ensures against double-spending. Although Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are the most well-known cryptocurrencies, other projects like Monero seek to address scalability, privacy, and censorship resistance in innovative ways.

The Cryptocurrency Village brings together leading experts in the area to explore substantive issues regarding the current state of blockchain technologies, regulatory landscape, and the general cryptocurrency ecosystem. The village hosts keynote talks, panels, workshops, networking events, and parties.

CPV - Crypto Privacy Village

At the Crypto & Privacy Village (CPV) you can learn how to secure your own systems while also picking up some tips and tricks on how to break classical and modern encryption. The CPV features workshops and talks on a wide range of cryptography and privacy topics from experts. We'll also have an intro to crypto talk for beginners, crypto-related games, the infamous CPV puzzle, a key-signing party, privacy-related art installations, and other great events.

The forum for the Gold Bug Crypto Privacy Contest is located here: https://forum.defcon.org/node/236491

The CPV discusses the interesting intersection of privacy and technology as well as building privacy enhancing technologies. We are able to dig into the nitty gritty details of cryptography and give high level crypo intros for those who might feel intimidated by it. We also discuss and hack on major topics and issues: facial recognition technology, license plate readers, privacy enhancing clothing, crypto backdoor laws.

DDV - Data Duplication Village

It's true, the Data Duplication Village is back for DC 29! We have all the bits and bytes available from infocon.org packed up into nice, neat packages. If you're looking for something to fill up all your unused storage, may I recommend a nice hash table or two with a side of all of the DefCon talks? This is a "free-to-you" service where we're providing you direct access to terabytes of useful data to help build those skills.

HOW IT WORKS
DEF CON will provide a core set of drive duplicators as well as data content options. We accept 6, 8, and 10TB drives on a first come, first served basis and duplicate 'till we can no longer see straight. Bring in your blank SATA3 drives - check them in early - to get the data you want. Come back in about 24 hours to pick up your data-packed drive. Space allowing, we'll accept drives all the way through until Saturday morning - but remember, it's FIFO! It will be a first come, first served to duplicate 'till we drop. Bring labeled 6TB SATA blank drives, and submit them in the queue for the data you want. Come back in 14-24 hours to pick up your data-packed drive. Space allowing, the last drop-offs will be no later than Saturday afternoon and the last drives will run overnight with the final pickup time at 11:30am.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE - Three drives:
6TB drive 1-3: Updated archive of infocon.org plus other "direct from DT" content, built on last years collection and always adding more for your data consuming appetite. 6TB drive 2-3: freerainbowtables.com GSM A51 and MD5 hash tables (Tables 1-2) with about 404 gigs free 6TB drive 3-3: more rainbowtables, lanman, mysqlsha1, ntlm, and some word lists (Tables 2-2) with about 136 gigs free

The DC 29 content will be posted at dcddv.org once finalized

WHAT YOU NEED

• 6TB SATA3 512e format 7200rpm drive - one for each source you want

If you want a full copy of everything you will need three drives. You can bring back last year's drive(s) to be wiped / updated (you should remove any 2018 stickers).

• Last chance pickup is Sunday from 10:00 to 11:00.

We're working on a method to post completed ticket ranges to https://dcddv.org and https://twitter.com/DDV_DC

SIDE NOTES
Be aware that we cleared all the Vegas area stores of every single 6TB drive last year we did this so plan ahead and get them now! Duplicating a 6TB (About 5.46 usable) drive at an average of 120 Megabytes a second comes out to just under 14 hours per drive. With all about 16 duplicators going, we can duplicate about 95 drives concurrently. We're expect to push about 11GB per second out to the drives for 72 hours straight. We did 335 drives for DC24 and we're hoping to do even more at DC25! We are expecting more total duplicator capacity than last year!

THAT'S ALL?
But wait - there's more! At DC27, we made our our stretch goal a reality to provide a pick-and-pull datastore in the DDV. We expect to do it bigger and better this year!

HTSV - Hack the Sea Village

Hack The Sea Village 3.0, Deep Dive, will be an opportunity for DEF CON attendees to explore the world of underwater robotics, seasteading communities, and hacking with maritime industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) through hands-on CTFs, show-and-tells with gear and tools, talks, and hackathon style contests.

With this year's focus on undersea technology, especially robotics and UUV/ROVs we will provide attendees an opportunity to explore the "last frontier" on Earth.

HRV - Ham Radio Village

Ham radio isn�t just what your grandpa does in the shed out back. Radios are an important piece of technology we use everyday, and amateur (�ham�) radio has been at the forefront of its development since day one -- we are some of the original hardware hackers! DIY, exploration, and sharing has always been a vital part of our community and the goal of Ham Radio Village is to nurture this growth into the next generation with all of the amazing people at DEF CON.

Our village will have demos, talks, presentations, contests, and of course, license exams!

So come visit Ham Radio Village to learn more about the hobby, including how antennas work (and how to build your own), how to actually use that software defined radio sitting on the shelf, how to trackdown a rogue transmitter with a handheld radio, and how you can legally transmit 1,500 Watts into the airwaves after taking a simple multiple-choice test!

One of the unique things about ham radio is that it goes deep into the theory and science of radio. This knowledge unlocks a whole new level of understanding about why and how radios work and radio waves propagate. With just about everything containing some sort of radio these days, this information can help us better research, attack, and defend all things that emit RF. For example: Just about anyone can build an antenna with simple hardware; having an understanding of the fundamentals allows you to troubleshoot and tune the performance of that antenna to pick up the exact signals you want while filtering out the rest.

HHV - Hardware Hacking and Soldering Skills Village

Every day our lives become more connected to consumer hardware. Every day the approved uses of that hardware are reduced, while the real capabilities expand.

Come discover hardware hacking tricks and tips regain some of that capacity, and make your own use for things! We have interactive demos to help you learn new skills. We have challenges to compete against fellow attendees. We have some tools to help with your fever dream modifications. Come share what you know and learn something new.

We are two villages in one. We run a large number of tables for soldering when in person, and to allow people to understand that hardware is more than soldering we run the Hardware Hacking Village as embedded / reversing / hardware things other than soldering.

PWV - Password Village

Have you ever been curious about password cracking, but were too embarrassed to admit you don't know anything about it? Have you seen the news about major password data breaches, but failed to see what all the fuss is about? Have you always wanted to implement password auditing at your organization, but you didn't know where to begin? Or do you feel like password cracking could not ever possibly relate to your job function? Does the prospect of discovering a unique intersection between human psychology, mathematics, information security, and high-performance computing arouse you? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, or if you just really fucking love password cracking, then the first-ever Password Village at DEF CON is right for you!

The Password Village provides training, discussion, and hands-on access to hardware and techniques utilized in modern password cracking, with an emphasis on how password cracking relates to your job function and the real world . No laptop? No problem! Feel free to use one of our terminals to access a pre-configured GPU environment to run password attacks against simulated real-world passwords. Village staff and expert volunteers will be standing by to assist you with on-the-spot training and introductions to Hashcat, as well as other FOSS cracking applications.

Already a password cracking aficionado? Feel free to give a lightning talk, show off your skills, help a n00b learn the basics, or engage in riveting conversation with other password crackers. Regardless of whether you're just a little hash-curious, a veteran cracker still relying on rainbow tables, a novice desiring to learn more, or an expert eager to share, we guarantee there will be something for everyone at the Password Village!

PYV - Payment Village

Payment technologies are an integral part of our lives, yet few of us know much about them. Have you ever wanted to learn how payments work? Do you know how criminals bypass security mechanisms on Point of Sales terminals, ATM�s and digital wallets? Come to the Payment Village and learn about the history of payments. We�ll teach you how hackers gain access to banking endpoints, bypass fraud detection mechanisms, and ultimately, grab the money!

We're covering top notch topics of payment security, which is the intersection of RE, hardware, appsec domains related to money flows. This year we will be glad to provide more hands-on and tasks for participants, and we already have a few requests for talks and interest for our Village.

RCV - Recon Village

Recon Village is an Open Space with Talks, Live Demos, Workshops, Discussions, CTFs, etc. with a common focus on Reconnaissance. The core objective of this village is to spread awareness about the importance of reconnaissance, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and demonstrating how even small information about a target can cause catastrophic damage to individuals and organizations.

Recon Village appeared at DEF CON 25, 26, 27, 28 as well as DEF CON China Beta and 1.0 and we received an overwhelming response from speakers, CTF/HackAThon participants, and attendees.

We strive to make Recon Village even better this time and are expecting more active participation from the attendees. It will be really great if we can get at least the same size space (or bigger) as we got in DEFCON 27.

We will be opening 'Call For Papers and Workshops' on 22nd March 2021.

We will have our Jeopardy Style OSINT CTF Contest throughout the Village timings. Based on the feedback from last year, we plan to make the CTF more challenging this year. The challenges will be around harvesting information about target organizations, their employee's social media profiles, their public svn/gits, password breach dumps, darknet, paste(s), etc. followed by active exploitation, bug hunting, investigation, and pentest scenarios of virtual targets. All the target organizations, employees, servers, etc. will be created by our team and hence will not attract any legal issues.

Similar to the last year, there will be Awesome rewards for CTF winners, along with free t-shirts, stickers, village coins, and other schwag which attendees can grab and show off.

Guess what! our Badge will also be more interesting this time and as usual, it will be free. P.S. We will not be selling our badges.

RFV - RF Village

After 14 years of evolution, from the WiFi Village, to the Wireless Village, RF Hackers Sanctuary presents: The Radio Frequency Village at DEF CON.

The Radio Frequency Village is an environment where people come to learn about the security of radio frequency (RF) transmissions, which includes wireless technology, applications of software defined radio (SDR), Bluetooth (BT), Zigbee, WiFi, Z-wave, RFID, IR and other protocols within the usable RF spectrum. As a security community we have grown beyond WiFi, and even beyond Bluetooth and Zigbee.

The RF Village includes talks on all manner of radio frequency command and control as well as communication systems. While everyone knows about the WiFi and Bluetooth attack surfaces, most of us rely on many additional technologies every day.

RF Hackers Sanctuary is supported by a group of experts in the area of information security as it relates to RF technologies. RF Hackers Sanctuary�s common purpose is to provide an environment in which participants may explore these technologies with a focus on improving their skills through offense and defense. These learning environments are provided in the form of guest speakers, panels, and Radio Frequency Capture the Flag games, to promote learning on cutting edge topics as it relates to radio communications. We promise to still provide free WiFi. https://rfhackers.com/the-crew

Speaker and contest schedule can be found on our website: https://rfhackers.com/calendar

Co-located with the RF Village is the RF Capture the Flag. Come for the talks, stay for the practice and the competition.

RGV - Rogues Village

Rogues Village is a place to explore alternative approaches and uses for security concepts, tools, and techniques by looking to non-traditional areas of knowledge. Incorporating expertise from the worlds of magic, sleight of hand, con games, and advantage play, this village has a special emphasis on the overlap between Social Engineering, Physical Security, and Playful Mischief.

Because we specialize in non-traditional approaches, Rogues Village can be an excellent entry point for people with a less established background in the security space. By introducing and engaging with existing topics in innovative, relatable, and frequently hands-on ways, they can become easier for people to approach and pick up for the first time.

Additionally, we are one of the few villages with a view that explicitly extends beyond the security space, meaning our perspective will necessarily include influences, ideas, and inspirations that are unique to Rogues Village.

SLV - Security Leaders Village

Security Leaders Village

Many of us who started out learning how technology worked through the security community now have leadership roles. There are many of us who don't wear the title of suit well, however we're in these positions. There are also quite a few of us who aspire to these roles and responsibilities, and don't know where to go. The goals of this village are to provide better support to security leaders who did not take the traditional career path, and to assist those currently on their path to achieve more.

We have not paid attention to how the hacker community has developed a significant amount of leaders. They are responsible for the safety and security of much of our critical infrastructure, including finance, healthcare, energy, and transportation. This village recognizes and realizes that, and gives these leaders the tools they need to further succeed. It's also there to develop a new generation.

SEV - Social Engineering Village

Virtual SEV will be the one stop shop for all your SE needs during DEF CON. We will have a Social Engineering Capture for the Flag for Teens, we are planning another SECTF4Kids and we are working on a brand new competition for virtual SEV for all the rest of us. We plan on having a few speeches and Q&A sessions all about social engineering. Come and hang out with us, virtually of course.
