"Confessions of a Toolmaker"

Speaker: Tom Hudson, Senior Security Engineer

Date/Location: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at the Bug Bounty Village

Abstract: What even are tools? Why do we make them? A talk about my personal journey in the world of writing open source tools, what makes a good tool, how I make tools, how and why you should write your own tools too.

"Cyber ​​Mirage: How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping The Future of Social Engineering"

Speaker: Brandon Kovacs, Senior Red Team Operator

Date/Time: Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 10 a.m.

Abstract: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the landscape of social engineering and given rise to a new class of AI-powered cyber threats. Earlier this year, a finance professional at a global corporation in Hong Kong was deceived into transferring $25 million to scammers, who leveraged deepfake and voice-cloning technology to impersonate the company's chief financial officer on a video conference call. This talk aims to illuminate the sophisticated capabilities that AI brings to the table in creating hyper-realistic deepfakes and voice clones. Through a captivating live demonstration, we will showcase real-time AI-powered deepfake and voice cloning technologies and demonstrate how they can be used by offensive cybersecurity professionals to conduct highly effective social engineering attacks. This discussion will emphasize the critical need for the development of more sophisticated defense mechanisms to mitigate the risks posed by these rapidly evolving AI-based cyber threats.

Lock Picking Village

Together with young students, Hector has prepared this village and will be teaching attendants how locks, handcuffs, safe-deposit boxes, and suitcases work, as well as how to bypass security mechanisms.
