We're excited to be back at DEF CON 31 with so many opportunities where you can hear from our hackers and security experts. These include:

• A special session, "Badge of Shame: Breaking into Secure Facilities with OSDP," with security researchers Dan Petro & David Vargas on the DEF CON main stage
  
• Our second annual livestream, themed "The Art of Hacking!" on Friday, August 11 on Bishop Fox's LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube channels
• Gold Sponsor of The Red Team Village at the Flamingo Las Vegas, Twilight Ballroom

"Badge of Shame: Breaking into Secure Facilities with OSDP"

Breaking into secure facilities used to be possible by inserting a listening device (such as an ESPKey) behind an RFID card reader and sniffing the unencrypted Wiegand badge numbers over the wire as they go to the backend controller. The physical security industry has taken notice and there's a new sheriff in town: the encrypted protocol OSDP which is starting to be rolled into production. Surely encryption will solve our problems and prevent MitM attacks right? ... Right?

In this presentation, we'll demonstrate over a dozen vulnerabilities, concerning problems, and general "WTF"s in the OSDP protocol that let it be subverted, coerced, and totally bypassed. This ranges from deeply in-the-weeds, clever cryptographic attacks to boneheaded mistakes that undermine the whole thing. We will also demonstrate a practical pentesting tool that can be inserted behind an RFID badge reader to exploit these vulnerabilities.

Get your orange vest and carry a ladder, because we're going onsite!

"The Art of Hacking" Livestream

Hosted by renowned hackers, Alethe Denis, Lindsay Von Tish, and Tom Eston, we invite you to our livestream at DEF CON 31 on Friday, August 11 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. PT.

At its core, hacking is an art form that encompasses creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Hackers are often regarded as the vanguards of innovation with an unyielding drive to unravel the complexities of technology.

During our broadcast, seasoned hackers and cybersecurity experts will delve deep into the intricacies of ethical hacking and explore how the hacker spirit can be harnessed to push the boundaries of technology in a responsible and impactful manner.
