You can find the full list of villages here.īsides Vegas- very much like other Bsides Events, it’is a community event that runs besides other conferences - in this case Blackhat and Defcon. Each badge is designed to be hackable, and some have parts that involve talking to other attendees to help hackers connect. The conference does not have any corporate sponsorship, and is supported solely by the proceeds from selling the badges and T-shirts. For those interested in Cloud Security, there is the Cloud Village, which certainly has a lot of cloud security talks and activities, but you may also find cloud security talks and panels at Appsec Village, Blue Team Village, and some others. There is a village for anything you can think can be hacked, and for various communities. It's popular for its village, which are like mini meetups of their own, and badge cultures where each village has their own badge. There were heaps of swags giveaway too, which is always fun for those of us who secretly want to increase our workout t-shirt collection (it’s for a friend that’s why i need 2 :D).ĭefcon -Now in its 30th year, Defcon is the largest hacker conference. It’s one of the more formal and corporate events at Hacker Summer Camp, and usually has talks (which they call briefings) and workshops/trainings of a more technical nature than its contemporaries.

The conferences that form part of Hacker Summer Camp include:īlackhat -Currently in its 25th year, it was started with the intention of briefing the information security community about what the blackhats were up to. It is a term that has been given to a week and bit of conferences and events that typically held in the city of Las Vegas. With talks, workshops and training hosted by Blackhat, Defcon, Bsides Vegas,and The Diana Initiative - welcome to Hacker Summer Camp. There’s a week and bit in Vegas where most of the infosec community, hackers, blue teamers, red teamers, bug bounty hunters, and now cloud security researchers come together to hang out at a cabana, attend some crazy parties, learn, and share all things cybersecurity and hacking.
