WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.300 We're at the DEF CON 30 Cloud Village, where there's a CTF going on, there's constant talks going on right now, and there's so much to learn about cloud security. 00:09.360 --> 00:12.240 Now, can you tell me a little bit about the village, really what you're doing here? 00:12.240 --> 00:13.000 Sure, yeah. 00:13.000 --> 00:15.740 So right now, today, we've got two main aspects of it. 00:15.740 --> 00:22.400 We've got the presenters in the presentation, so all these great talks on AWS, GCP, and Azure-based security, for the most part. 00:22.400 --> 00:31.200 And then we have a whole CTF section as well, where folks can actually sit down and work as teams, or they can actually have assistants, you know, and try and hit the leaderboards up there. 00:32.020 --> 00:35.100 Maybe you might be able to get a quick look at that. 00:35.140 --> 00:36.340 And those are the two big things. 00:36.340 --> 00:37.320 We're packed, though. 00:37.320 --> 00:38.920 There's so many people who are interested. 00:38.920 --> 00:42.080 I mean, it's such a happening space right now, you know what I mean? 00:42.080 --> 00:42.920 It's real hot. 00:43.560 --> 00:50.460 But we have so many individuals that are coming and speaking today, from 9, 10 in the morning, all the way to 5 p.m. 00:50.460 --> 00:53.320 with workshops, the CTF. 00:53.320 --> 00:54.480 It's been a fun time so far. 00:54.480 --> 00:58.760 It's amazing to me that, like, every one of these villages, there's so much content going on. 00:58.760 --> 01:05.420 You'd get lost in the content the entire weekend, and not waste your time. 01:05.420 --> 01:07.440 There's so much information to learn. 01:07.440 --> 01:08.780 It's not just the Cobb Village, too, right? 01:08.780 --> 01:10.240 It's all these villages. 01:10.240 --> 01:12.140 You've got so much to do if you're here at Cobb. 01:12.220 --> 01:16.400 Now, one of the things I noticed at the CTF is, it is cloud-based. 01:16.400 --> 01:19.680 Now, we all joke, oh, well, cloud's just really someone else's computer. 01:19.960 --> 01:24.700 But within the CTF, what makes it different from the other CTFs happening around Cobb? 01:24.700 --> 01:31.040 Well, so, the other CTFs, I mean, to clarify, there are flags that you're going to need to get to. 01:31.040 --> 01:34.280 It's very much in the same vein as the CTF that you'd expect elsewhere. 01:34.280 --> 01:36.900 But it's going to leverage cloud-based vulnerabilities. 01:36.900 --> 01:41.840 So it might be things like open permissions that exist for, you know, S3 buckets or storage. 01:41.840 --> 01:44.920 There might be, like, insecure configurations you might need to go and leverage those. 01:44.920 --> 01:50.000 So it's very cloud-specific, where I think you might look at maybe the more traditional DEF CON CTFs. 01:50.000 --> 01:54.360 There's probably a lot of, like, binary hacking and things like getting around obfuscation and all that. 01:54.360 --> 01:56.740 You might not necessarily see that in this CTF. 01:57.020 --> 01:57.340 Okay . 01:57.380 --> 02:06.100 Well, with that, if anyone wants to learn more about it, I'm guessing some of this content, if someone wants to learn more about the Cloud Village and the talks going on, where can they go? 02:06.100 --> 02:07.580 Is this information available online? 02:07.580 --> 02:07.800 Yep. 02:07.800 --> 02:11.280 Go to cloud-village.org and you can find all the information that you need there. 02:11.320 --> 02:12.420 CTF's also available there. 02:12.800 --> 02:13.540 That's great. 02:13.540 --> 02:16.640 You're about to let a speaker know that they have to get off the stage. 02:16.640 --> 02:18.500 Again, these things have to be back-to-back. 02:18.540 --> 02:20.520 Thanks for sharing about the Cloud Village. 02:20.600 --> 02:23.580 Thanks for just running it and running this really great village. 02:23.580 --> 02:26.160 Can you tell us a little bit about the other runners of this village? 02:26.160 --> 02:29.060 Because, again, to put something together this big, you need a lot of people. 02:29.060 --> 02:30.660 Honestly, there's too many people to mention. 02:30.660 --> 02:32.560 I'm really thankful for everyone who came together and helped. 02:32.560 --> 02:37.380 But I think, you know, the most important folks are probably Jayesh, who's run the Cloud Village since 2019. 02:37.740 --> 02:41.640 He's working really hard to make sure that this has worked as well as it has. 02:41.720 --> 02:47.120 And then there's Craig, who's working on the CTF, and all of the other folks that are on the CTF, speaker ops, social media, everything. 02:47.120 --> 02:47.940 I'm very appreciative. 02:47.940 --> 02:48.280 Yeah. 02:48.280 --> 02:51.360 Thanks for watching, and as always, hack on!
