About Event
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 — technical, novel, and fun. Bonus if it’s particularly spicy research, a new offensive technique or tool, or an open-source tool release.
TALKS
A PWN contest where hackers drop their most impactful, cursed, or meme-worthy 0days in end-of-life devices and software on stage for cash. Spotlighting next-gen researchers, doing public service, and making 0day fun again.
JUNKYARD
A true, 24-hour, OG hackathon where hackers and regional linguists pair up to tackle censorship and digital authoritarianism. Teams mix technical and contextual skills, do research, and present findings.
JUMP THE WALL
Eight Villages (Biohacking, Blue Team, Red Team, ICS, Maritime, Aerospace, Lockpicking) team up for a Jeopardy-style CTF. Both newcomers and experts can rack up points, win prizes, and explore every Village.
VILLAGE OF VILLAGES
Closed-door conversations where policymakers get a notepad and hackers take the lead. If DC wants to write rules for cyberspace, they should start by listening to the people who break those rules for a living.
