AI Village at DEF CON 34 brings together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping both offense and defense in security. Bishop Fox is glad to be part of the conversation this year, bringing hands-on research into how attackers are already putting generative AI to work.

Brandon Kovacs will be on hand with a live demo showcase built around one of the fastest-moving threats in social engineering: real-time deepfake video and voice cloning.

"AI/Deepfake Demos Showcase"

Speakers: Brandon Kovacs, Sr. Security Consultant, Bishop Fox

Abstract: Generative AI has handed attackers a new toolkit for impersonation, and the results are already landing in the headlines — including a case where a finance employee at a multinational company wired $25 million after what looked and sounded like a live video call with their CFO, but turned out to be a synthetic performance.

This session is a hands-on demo showcase rather than a slide talk: Brandon will build and run deepfake video and voice clone models live, using a mix of open-source tooling, consumer-grade recording gear, and basic film production technique to get to a believable, broadcast-quality result. Attendees will see real-time face and voice swapping in action and get a practical read on where the technology's limits still are.

The goal is to leave attendees with a clearer sense of how this class of attack actually gets built and what that means for how social engineering engagements and awareness programs need to evolve.
