Hello!
Hey!
We have audio!
Super, now I'm getting
blinded too.
Alright, so I know we started
late. Thank you so much for your patience.
I'm going to have to ask you for
your patience with this
slideshow too, because it's
pretty rough.
Thanks so much guys.
First I
wanted to start by
thanking all of my goons
that have been running around like
crazy.
While I still figure out how to do my
job, so thank you.
I'm not sure about
this, but I think we had a record
number of contests
and events. We had a lot going on this
year, so hopefully
you guys all got to
get into something fun.
Once again, thanks
to my C&E organizers.
My goons, that's redundant.
Alright, so our
first contest that
we'll be announcing the winners of
is Question Mark
Cube.
Wait, that's you, man.
Sorry.
No, did I fuck it up?
Fucked it up.
I wish I was, then I could drink
a beer.
Next.
Yeah.
You want to jump into Snacky?
Yeah.
Yeah, fuck it.
You got more?
You want to come up and talk about
Snacky real quick?
Yeah!
Thank you for saving caves.
If you're from Cube, come on up.
If you have the info.
You can do slides.
Oh, we got it.
The slides.
No slides. Cool.
Okay.
How are you, man?
So we'll ballpark the slides.
Yeah, so thanks, everyone.
Yeah, Necrosis, get up here.
So we're just
going to wing this one.
I think we had about
Sorry. I think we had about a thousand
entries this year, which is about five times
what we had last year at our unofficial Snacky
contest. Thanks, everyone, for
participating.
How many would you say we actually
vended?
So, yeah, writing the numbers down,
we had about
We had about
a thousand people register.
From there, we had about six
to seven hundred actually
get verified by Snacky.
Building
down from that, we vended about
two to three hundred SAOs.
A few hundred badges.
We vended 136 pounds
of melted sand
from a vending machine.
And we are so gracious that DEF CON
lets us bring a
vending machine to vend electronic
badges. Apparently people like
electronic badges here.
Alright, so with not
much further ado, our winner this year was
Necrosis. Congratulations.
I understand he stayed up all night
one night and then went to the bar, so,
and saw the sunrise. So,
for our winner, we do have a special one-of-a-kind
aluminum Snacky badge
in a special pelican case
with LEDs.
So, congratulations.
I told you it was going to be a rough presentation.
Thanks, guys.
We got cube. We got cube.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm AJ.
I am the creator of the cube.
This was a first-year, first-time contest.
Straight out of my brain.
It was intense. It was fun.
Everybody who competed, thank you so much
for being a piece of it.
So, our winners were
Megadoomer, who got 100%.
If you guys are in here, can you come up?
Second place was Strangers,
which was a team of strangers
that became friends.
And then Team Name was 82%.
Strangers was 88%.
And again, thank you so much
for participating and being a part of my
crazy journey. It was amazing.
So, thank you.
Thank you.
There you go.
How did you get it?
Oh, yeah, here.
We'll get out of here.
You're fine. Do you want to show them?
Yeah.
It's a cube.
.
.
We'll do that one.
Yeah.
.
Anyone here
from Adversary Wars CTF
that wants to talk about their
CTF really quick?
We got one?
Yes.
Thanks.
I'm not the best fan of white.
DR GRAYS
.
.
So we had an amazing contest this year called Adversary Wars CTF, more about like
Adversary Emulation Simulation kind of thing.
We had about 100 teams registered for the contest and 3 teams got to be the winners
and the first place goes to like CTF.sg from Singapore.
So the entire CTF was made out of a fictional tractor, we kind of bought this from South
India to create a fictional tractor based out of an elephant.
So I am going to show you.
I am going to gift them this on the stage and that is not the only prize, we also got
an amazing, I don't know, a gaming machine.
They were awesome, they kind of sold like 16 flags out of the Ender Challenge, that
is pretty awesome guys.
Thank you and come and play Nishirasa.
And we got the second place, it goes to the team Sleepy, Daniel, Gregor and Mike.
They captured 16, sorry, 14 flags.
They fought very well.
We bought them like a sword and shield.
That is from Nishirasa.
They are kind of one of the oldest martial arts in the world.
And that is not all.
We also got them couple of hacking devices like from a voucher from HackFi and a small
token.
Yeah, thank you guys, thank you, you did, you did well.
And the third place goes to Nishirasa.
This goes to the team Hick Autumn Ehass.
I don't know the meaning of that, but Bombat, Bagel Bites and Death Block.
They have captured 9 flags for the CDF.
So we got some stuff for them as well.
Thank you.
Something from, something from like our players and amazing gaming keyboard.
And in addition to this, we also got many other things like certification vouchers and
training vouchers, other goodies as well.
So that will happen in the backstage.
Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you guys.
Thank you for playing.
And I need to mention Onmo team because out of, I mean all these 100 teams, they played
very well.
But on team kind of stand out, we have team Encore and could you guys please come to
the stage.
We got a young guy, we noticed a young guy and his mother playing very hard.
They stayed there for like two days, I mean two and a half days, played very well.
They tried to, they kind of sold at least like, you know, four or five different games.
They played very well.
We thought they deserved to be like, you know, give a consolation prize for the, for the,
you know, for the sake of DEFCON, for the…
And yeah, that's it, that's it for now.
Thank you.
Thank you, DEFCON.
Thank you, DD.
Thank you, all the amazing groups.
Thank you.
See you next year.
All right, so Autodriving CTF has actually already left.
Do we have their results?
Yes.
Sorry, all of it gets submitted like right before, so it's pretty disorganized.
We're sorry.
We're sorry.
I'm going to, I'm going to skip past.
Any, do we have Battle of the Bots?
Battle of the Bots we didn't have.
Battle of the Bots right here.
Perfect.
Awesome.
Love that for me.
Even better.
Love that.
We do have the results, but…
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello everybody.
We're Battle of the Bots.
We're here on behalf of OUSD, and before beginning I want to give a special thank you for DEFCON
for making this possible, all the competitors for competing, and all the great people we
got to meet along the way.
To give you a quick overview of who we were, we ran CTF here today, this whole weekend
actually, where you had to develop a worm or a bot to make your way through one of our
three network maps, require you to create a bot that would triage through multiple exploits,
redeploy itself, copy itself over between boxes.
So it's a pretty unique spin on the challenge, and we are so excited we had the opportunity
to share this with you guys, and I hope you guys had fun along the way.
Without further ado, let's announce the winners.
Please come on up once you hear your name called, we got some prizes for you guys.
In third place, we have OCE underscore is underscore best.
Are they here, anybody?
We'll catch them later.
We'll get them later.
On to second place, we've got Space Cats.
Space Cats, if you're here, please come on up.
There we go.
Alright, two more.
Alright.
So I'm going to give you guys the choice between Bender and Mr. Robot.
These are like our little rubber ducky programmers that made us through the competition.
So get a little personal piece of the team with you guys.
Bender.
Bender.
And Raspberry Pi for you all.
Congratulations, guys.
Thank you.
And lastly, in first place, Resnok.
Is Resnok here?
Guess not.
But thank you again, guys, so much.
It was a pleasure having this with you.
First time being here.
Hopefully we get to be back.
Thank you.
All right.
So since we're running out of time, if you were a contest or event organizer,
if I could just have you queuing up here, and we're going to try to rush it through like that.
Autodraft?
We did the autodraft one, didn't we?
Really?
Autodraft.
Autodraft?
No.
No, we didn't.
I'll brief you.
Yeah, I don't have anything.
I don't have anything.
So if you didn't know what the next one is, it's in alphabetical order.
So if you know.
I know, but it doesn't matter, because I was never stuck anywhere.
It's like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
So we're going to be very brief.
Thank you for playing the CTF.
The CTF we did this year was to help you.
Thank you.
We helped you develop the skills that you need to be a better security engineer or IA responder.
The concept of the CTF is very simple.
Things were broken.
The application and data we give you, you need to find ways to leverage the tools we provided to you.
We had host data and network telemetry, but the tools that we deployed and even the data
and the way we ingested it was not working.
That's what happens in real life, and we wanted you to feel what it's like to do things in real life.
Thank you.
And so, first prize was...
Jiragoons.
Jiragoons. And so, thank you so much.
Alright, so this was actually a really cool thing. We had a book exchange this year.
I don't know if anyone participated in that,
but it was the first year that we had a book exchange.
Trying to do what we can to reduce our carbon footprint
and also share some of our favorite books.
I don't think I have a representative from the book exchange here,
but I do recommend you check it out next year.
For Capture the Packet, I actually do have the winners here for that.
I know, you're all surprised.
Um...
Alright, for Capture the Packet, third place is Night Sack.
Team Night Sack.
Second place is Crash.
And first place, Chat CTP.
For Hardwired, third place winner is BP.
Second place, Muscle Link.
First place, B2B.
Oh, shit.
No!
Come on, it's in Spanish.
Todos en Espanol.
I can't.
It's all in Spanish.
No, Ablo.
I'm just gonna breeze through these and just tell everyone
how thankful I am to these creators that absolutely deserve better
than what I'm giving them right now.
They work all year long and put on these amazing contests,
so I just really, really want to apologize again for this.
For Car Hacking Village, third place, we have Can Openers.
Or that's the prize, I don't know.
We'll see.
Second place, we got some Canucks.
And I'm, I think this is kind of a Prince situation
because it's just a symbol, a semicolon.
Just semicolon.
So Car Hacking Village has been evolving over the past few years
with harder problems and more participation than any of the past years.
They've had, on average, 100 players in the last two years.
This year, they had 170.
Top teams were only one to three solves away from each other.
So this was a really, really tight competition.
Very exciting one.
And I want to say thank you to Car Hacking Village.
Do I have anyone from Command and Control over there?
Rad.
I think for the first time, we showed up to the ceremonies
and they sent the guy who never does this.
So, Mike.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, we're Command and Control.
Every, I think this is our eighth or ninth year,
we come back with a cyber range for you all to hack away on.
Like many contests, we keep getting more and more players every year,
so appreciate everyone's participation.
This year, we brought a medical record system
that had 45 different challenges in it.
I'll go over our winners here.
And we've already handed out our prizes,
so I'm not going to do it up here.
But in third place, we had C-Wave.
And they got lock-picking kits.
And in second place, we had IRA.
They got Flipper Zero,
but I believe they exchanged with the first place.
And the first place was Savage Submarine,
who show up many of years and they always do well.
And they got a Nintendo Switch.
They ended up scoring 40 of our,
of our 45 challenges,
including exploiting a log force shell challenge,
and discovering a little bit more of some of our new architecture
than we even intended.
So that was very fun.
We're excited to come back next year.
Thank you, everybody.
Crack me if you can?
Do I have crack me if you can folks here?
Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah.
The lights are blinding.
Just so you know.
Everyone is just blurs over there.
Yes?
Crack me if you can?
No?
All right.
We're zooming past this really quick.
Creative Writing Short Story Contest is actually a pre-con event.
If you are a creative mind,
love short stories,
I don't know, maybe some creepypasta stuff.
That's definitely a really good one every year.
Love that.
I want to say thank you to the organizers of the DEF CON bike ride.
And do I have Darknet folks here?
Yay!
Hello, DEF CON!
I need this energy.
All right.
So if you guys haven't heard of the Darknet NG,
we are an ARG, an augmented reality game.
We're here to be able to send you on different quests to learn new skills
and be able to put those to task via challenge quests.
We have a rotation of different challenges that are always new things to learn.
This year we're able to encourage a lot of new folks to come in,
get involved with this awesome community.
We send players to the Tempur Evident event villages,
the Ham Village radio and lockpicking,
we also had people go through and build their own badges ahead of time,
bring them to the conference and all play with Meshtastic,
which was amazing.
Overall, we had over 293 badges that we saw,
and we're going to talk about the first place winners now.
So for first place, there is a tie.
And first place goes to both Feathers and Tupac.
Come on up.
So this entire contest was based off of two books
made by Daniel Suarez,
and we got the first edition signed for him, for each of them.
So with that, put your hands together for him.
So the second place winner is Tiflin,
and third place is Bocanno for third place.
So if you want to learn more, go to our website at darknet-ng.network,
and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
Thanks.

I don't.
TC Sticker Design.
No.
Don't have that either.
I have those results.
Jess?
Oh, yes!
Sorry. Yeah, come on up.
Mikayla.
Sorry, I'm texting you, but I can't see you.
It's all bright lights, man.
There we go.
Hi, guys. Oh, my God.
What's up?
We are just so glad to be here with you guys.
We're so glad to be here to present our community.
This year we had an amazing CTF
that involved a physical challenge
as well as the virtual challenges.
So we had a physical challenge room presented by Xscape.
We were hosted by our CTF partners,
a CTF room in Kenya.
We also worked with
the KC7 Foundation as well as
the CTF Cube.
So we had four different organizations across
four countries
of richer years.
So we're representing Nigeria and Kenya
as well as the United States and Canada.
And we're really excited to present that.
So I'll introduce you to our CTF director
who will give you the CTF information.
Hi, everyone.
How are you all doing?
I'm Jeff, or Low Prives High Hopes,
CTF director.
And I just want to give a shout out to the CTF creators.
So I'll drop a few names.
We have
Leron, we have Jones
from Kenya, Charlie,
TJ, Abezi,
Simeon,
John Collins, Kelvin,
Chris, Virus,
Taha, Gilbert, Trevor,
Kelvin, and Kelvin
from Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria,
USA, and Canada.
So I want to give a strong hand of applause to them.
And then
I just want to thank all the hard work
for the participants that participated in our CTF.
Gave it their all.
Hopefully learned some things.
Hopefully felt challenged and want to
kind of have words with our
Capture the Flag creators.
But announcing the winners.
So in third place, folding chair,
can I get a representative?
Work.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We got some more online.
Good work, yeah.
And in second place,
can I get a representative
from
the Clean Boys?
Excellent job.
All right.
And in first place, can I get
A. Gomez from
SageGen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Super.
Ooh.
It's time for the Def Con
scavenger hunt folks to come and tell us who their winners are this year.
there. My personal favorite. My family. Love you guys. Hi. I'm Evil Mofo. I'm the lead,
but I've lost my voice, so it's Zora's turn. Okay, hi. Hello, everyone. My name's Zora.
I'm one of the judges here at the DEFCON scavenger hunt. This year our judges included Evil Mofo,
Dual D Flip Flop, who is working like crazy, Balsa, Shazbot, Sconce, and our newest judge,
Vic. This is the 26th year of the scavenger hunt. We are probably arguably the best way for
you to experience a little bit of everything that DEFCON has to offer as we send you around
to interact with villages, talks, goons, in other contests as well. So, I'm really excited to
share this with you guys. So, this is our first place team. This year we had several teams
who fought like crazy to catch up to our first place team who immediately had a massive lead the
minute we started the hunt. We'd like to acknowledge those teams that fought as hard as they
could. Our third place team was Cringy Pot Lude Mentors. Yeah. Our second place team was
and that is their team name. But coming in first, we'd like to congratulate missing DEF CON
badges. Come on up here, guys, real quick. What the quick list. So, yes, this is our first
place team, missing DEF CON badges. So, if you've never played the scavenger hunt before, please
come see us next year. We keep DEF CON weird. Thank you.
If you're on team A or the potlickers, please come with us. Yes.
Nope. Okay. Oh, hey. Do I have, oh, you guys see me. Thanks. It's okay. We're, fuck it,
we're doing it live. All right, cool. So, DEF CON mud dumb terminal edition, we caused a lot of
shenanigans this year. We played on a 26-year-old mud with four people. We played on a 26-year-old
40-year-old terminals. I want to send thanks to dual D for bringing them out because this is a
joke on Discord. We crammed it together in a month. And the player who won wound up playing
for, like, 30 hours and figured out how to bypass our cheat detection. So, Cal, if you're
around, congratulations. He won an analog pocket. Other than that, yeah, this is fantastic.
We'll be back next year probably with modem banks instead of dumb terminals because I'm not
doing this again. Thank you all.
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come
on. Come on. We'll be back. We'll be back. We'll
be back. We are abandoning the slideshow because... . Because I can't anymore.
. The reasons. kabem. Hi, DEF CON. This is DEF CON's next top threat model.
defendnat property management. So this is... It's in our name for 500 years. Def con death
We had about 85 contestants join our contest. So we basically
present the contestants with a design. They're going to go
through and try to find as many findings as possible and give
some guidance to the dev team on why it's important and what the
risk is. Our contestant that won said he spent about 15 hours
in total. We had some most interesting threats were denial
of service caused by wildlife. And we had death, destruction,
dismemberment and explosions. And then the most interesting
mitigation was unplug this system fucking right now. We had
about 120 threats that were submitted in total. A lot of
really good information. We also did a, it wasn't part of the
contest, but we did a Q&A. We did a Q&A with the contest
about kids activity. And we had what his father called his
chaos monkey. And the, some of the best mitigation, the theme
was around beach, going to the beach. And he said that, you
know, you get attacked by sharks. His mitigation was to
take some blood and throw it in the other direction. Yeah, so we
had three winners. Joe Ram was first place. We had Lovely
Dreamer and Cable Pull.
Thank you. Thank you. I thought you said that you
couldn't do the Vanna White stuff. You're making it work.
Practicing to be a ring girl for UFC. Hey there. We're from the
maps of the digital lands. It's amazing how much talent we saw here
at DEF CON. Like, everybody who came and said, oh, I can't draw.
Check this out. I can't draw. I can't draw. I can't draw. I can't draw.
Check this out. So we've got some winners here. Some people
did a really good job. Here we have Lithicon, number one artist
on the show. Well, thanks, everybody. We asked everyone to
show you. Thank you. Hi, everyone. We're from the
Red Team CTF. My name is Lazlair. We do not have Pony IP with us today.
He also goes by Pony Pie. But we do have Knopf Researcher, Juicy K,
and Conehead. We wanted to give a big shout out to everyone who
played in the quals and made it to the finals. I'm going to let
Wes, who also goes by Knopf Researcher, go in detail. We just
want to say thank you for all the teams that came out and
played in the qualification round. We had 500 teams play, so
it was just a lot of great players out there. About three to
five people per team was awesome. There were definitely
some stacked teams out there. But what was really awesome is
that big shout out to IPSec for single-handedly creating our
finals. So with that, we had after the qualification round,
the top ten teams went on to the finals. The finals were
standalone. Each person got their own instance. Essentially
they hacked the box pro lab, right? Super awesome kind of
thing that IPSec built out, so we're super excited for that. So
with that, I'll go ahead and announce the top three teams.
Number three was France at DEFCON 31. The country.
The entire country came out. Number two, who's definitely
played a few times before, is AI Generated. And then super
impressive, this team was actually just a team of one
until like the second day. Then they got one more person, and on
the third day they got a third person. So pretty impressive.
They go by AE Dragos.
And for each one of the teams, because we couldn't bring all
this stuff up here, we got roughly 12,000, 8,000, and
$5,000 worth of prizes. First place got?
They got a few flippers, Proxmark, no search books and
vouchers, years of hacked a box pro labs and VIPs, SANS course
of their choice, and Sector 7 malware dev courses, a nuke.
First, second, and third got nukes. Custom Fallout neon sign.
And a kawaii sticker pack. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. Check us out next year.
I know you're not going to believe it, but I actually have
some contest winners. I have the information. All right. So
another one of my favorite contests is Hacker Runway, which
is just this beautiful concept out of my friend Jay's mind. And
it's a way to have fun with our friends. And it's a way to have
fun with our cool wearables and show off our individuality at
DEF CON, which there's a lot of that here, and I thank you all.
For functional wear, we had Kelly's convertible cocktail
evening gown with a Faraday lining. Smart wear, Artie's
iBoot with color change based on pressure. Digital wear,
Chibi's Send Bot. Aesthetic wear went to Joy's
InfoHazard green look. Last year's trophy winner was enter, I'm
sorry, entered the competition but lost her title this year in both
the smart wear and the people's choice categories. The people's
choice trophy winner was Kelly's convertible cocktail evening gown.
All right. I was told I could do this in 45 seconds. I'm Serum from Fish
Stories, and I know I have three winners in the crowd. Please stand up. For
those of you who don't know, Fish Stories is a pre-con contest. We
established a fictional company and management team and gave it out to
everybody. It was DEF CON custard and cream with 31 distinct flavors. There
were three members of the management team. We gave contestants fake articles
and LinkedIn profiles. The articles were fun. Our chief marketing officer
loved her parakeet.
Linda. And we asked the contestants to create a back story and fishing
email, one page each, make the target click, make us laugh. The results
were tremendous. All the contestants did a fabulous job, but we had to
pick winners. And so the winners in our three categories, Dan Mulvey,
stand up, wave. He was the wizard. The really cool thing about his is he
had an embedded thread that really wanted us to click. The wizard is the
one that is the most technical and makes us click the most. And would
Bird Bird stand up?
The jester. Somewhere in here. Yeah, there we go. She had a parrot
kindergarten and a dating show called The Perfect Pastry Partner, which is
awesome. And our overall winner, the ruler, is All Runner. I see him in the
crowd. Yep, stand up right there. He had the commission of cream and he
called it Cream Con. And we're in Vegas and I don't know if I should go very far
on to that one. But anyhow, thank you, everybody. I'm off. I know I.
Hello, everyone. PTFS came to DEF CON for our second CTF with two unique twists. We had players
attacking the evil Starfish Limited Corporation. The first twist was that we had multiple
branches, so players could get significant points on the board without ever touching a command
prompt. If you were attacking HR, it was social engineering. Attacking financial, data analysis. We
We heard from some of our team members that the CEO suite was especially evil and had
hybrid challenges.
The second twist, which you might have heard or seen during the weekend, was that the model
was dynamic.
As players completed challenges, the model reacted with an intensity equal to the difficulty
level of the challenge.
Naturally, people loved seeing the taser transformer and the bioreactor exploding in flame.
We had 96 active teams, and the winners are as follows.
There are two winners that we would like to honor here.
First one is the first team that penetrated the bioreactor and caused it to explode.
That would be Sneed's Feed and Seed.
And our winner, the first place, who controlled the board for most of the weekend and coming
back for their second year win in our competition.
Thank you.
And our second place in our competition is ASM Hole.
Meet us off the stage.
We got a little something for you.
Congratulations to all of our teams.
You all did a wonderful job.
The telechallenge is an epic battle of wits and skill.
It is among the most difficult contests at DEF CON.
It takes an entire DEF CON to play and an entire team to win.
This year, for the second year running, the telechallenge congratulates Foxbox Dialing Services,
who took it away with a last-minute win.
We had 206 individual players in the telechallenge this year across eight active registered teams.
6,613 calls came into the system, generating 10,066 billable minutes.
GRU player meals, because you could be eaten by a GRU in the telechallenge, numbered 248.
And 554 voicemails were listened to by the players, who sustained 138 injuries from exploding Phonobooks.
Allegedly.
There were 103 Phonomon battles in the Phoniverse.
Two employees were socially engineered.
And five bugs were remediated by players, leading to a release that immediately crashed in the game.
Finally, the number of denial-of-service attacks on our asterisk system numbered one.
We're looking forward to coming back next year with even more.
Thank you to the players.
All right, DEF CON.
So I am Cryptok, and this is T7.
We are with the Crypto and Privacy Village Gold Bug Challenge.
So this year, we had an epic battle.
250 teams registered.
One team who joins us on the field.
Two teams on the stage now.
OCE Ocean completed all the challenges during the contest.
So huge props to them.
During the con, if you solved three, we gave you a magazine.
If you solved five, you got a sweet SAO.
That silly add-on.
For the kids.
And the winners take home this epic gold bug.
So thanks, everybody.
See you again next year.
This is quite concerning.
There are many unshielded heads in this room right now.
So hello, I'm Forge.
I'm here on behalf of the tinfoil hat challenge.
Which is, in my belief, probably the most important contest here.
Because we are protecting your brain meats.
So for all of those uninitiated, tinfoil hat challenge.
We have two different categories.
We have classic hats being built with just tinfoil.
Unlimited hats being built with tinfoil and anything else.
And more importantly, real science.
We have a mannequin out on display with a receiver up in her head.
We're transmitting from various points in the room.
And we're going to measure how effective your tinfoil hat is at protecting those brain meats.
With a real challenge, we also have real prizes.
Prizes have been given out.
This is a great time to plug our internet presence.
So tinfoil hat.
This is TFC.
We're on Mastodon at DEF CON Social.
So you can see all of the winning hats there.
For our classic winner, we have Tumalort.
Who came and tried like, oh, we're out in the audience.
But yes, tried 14, 15 times.
Real science.
We've got baffles in there.
We have a very functional hat there.
We have Foon as our style category.
With a lovely squid-like octopus hat.
If you've seen that walking around.
And lastly, we have M-Girl who won in our unlimited category.
So hopefully this is all very legit, very serious.
We are here to protect you.
Hopefully you've seen people taking those extra precautions out in the world.
Confusing the people that are not part of our event.
And we hope you have a great time and see us next time.
Hello, DEF CON.
I'm Rare with the hardware hacking village CTF.
This year we created another challenge with custom hardware.
Well, custom hardware in a fictional scenario where we had a fictional badge that contestants needed to hack on.
I'm excited to announce the top three winners.
We had Drone Amplified in third place.
Nuclear Kitty in second place.
And solving all but one challenge, Mako in first place.
Please give a round of applause for all of them.
And thank you.
Hello.
We are the beverage cooling contraption contest.
You cool beer.
If you lose, you get beer.
If you win, you get beer.
Wow.
So the people that won this year, they got a whole bunch of copper pennies.
They sorted through them all through little, like, to get just the copper, not the brass crap.
And then ran it through dry ice and ice cold alcohol.
And then poured the beer through it.
And they did like 70 degrees in like 15 seconds.
So they were like 100 degrees to like 40.
They're awesome.
I'll meet them over there.
Woo!
Hello.
I'm here from TraceLab.
I'll try to keep this short.
But the subject is important.
The TraceLab OSINT is a non-theoretical CTF.
We are working.
We did work for real missing persons cases and generated about 3,000 pieces of intelligence that will be passed on to law enforcement.
Our highest prize.
Our highest prize always goes to the most valuable OSINT, the ones that are most impactful.
Our MVO winner for this event was able to identify where a missing person had appeared in an escort ad in another state.
They were able to further reinforce this through a number of techniques.
This information has already been compiled.
They compiled the report within under 24 hours.
And it has already been shared with law enforcement.
I know we want to rush.
But I want to reinforce that there is a high likelihood that the missing person will be reunited with their family.
Thanks to the effort of this team.
The League of Extraordinary OSINers.
I just want to say it's a team effort.
It wasn't just me.
It's malware.
TX456 in LabScout.
Without you, this wouldn't happen.
And we are really glad to help.
Let's bring everybody back home.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, DevCon.
We're from DC 207.
We're definitely hard drive.
On a physical hard drive with hundreds of which were hidden around the conference.
We've got a first-place winner who got on a plane.
It's Jiku .
We also had second place as I'm A Team and Sauce Dex in third and you'll have to meet us
off stage for your prizes. It's ponagotchis, RFID tools, all kinds of cool stuff.
Thank you DEF CON and everyone who participated.
Hey, we're embedded systems village. This is a new contest this year where we had a whole
bunch of embedded devices. We attacked from the physical side, over the network, RF. We had
some mobile challenges and we even had some challenges on our funky little badge here.
So in first place we had Team Flowers by Irene with 40,000 of about 50,000 points available.
So great job.
Venator Oram, a treasure hunt puzzle.
We had one person who found and claimed the treasure. His name was Dutch.
He did it all on his phone via mobile. Solved many, many different things across different
villages and claimed the treasure for himself.
3, 2, 1, happy birthday El Contaro. 3, 2, 1, happy birthday El Contaro.
Alright, hello DEF CON. This is Recon Village.
Woo!
This year we had two contests and talks. We are adding up contests, making more hands-on.
So we had a CTF and a subdomain collection. People will talk about it.
Got a good vibe over there. So if you are around next year, please come check out.
Over to Solancho.
Hello DEF CON. Alright, around the OSINT CTF, which is obviously around finding information and collecting details,
we have three players who have won. Three teams, sorry.
In total, we had 142 teams, 248 players.
So the third player, the third team which won is Phoenix.
Do we have Phoenix in the house?
Team Phoenix, we have hacked five packets squarely for you if you are around.
Alright, moving on. The second team was Atomic Chonk.
Anyone from Atomic Chonk here?
Alright.
Are they around?
Alright. Moving on to the first team, which is Pinja, as usual.
They have been winning the contest for a couple of years now.
And here they are.
They get a 3D printer, RGB mousepad, as well as a Recon API from RedHunt.
Woo!
Woo!
Alright, moving on to the next contest, which is Recon Acharya.
Hey, DEF CON. This was the first time in seven years of Recon Village we did Recon Acharya contest.
Acharya is an Indian origin word, which means mentorship or master.
The stats were amazing. There were some 67 teams total registered.
We had total domain of 15,000. So the contest was around domain enumerations.
We had a whopping 23 million submissions this time.
There was one team with the highest invalid submission, which was 35% invalid submission.
But our winner, which was Domain Tool, had only 0.9% invalid submissions.
So Domain Tool is on the stage.
The winner gets PlayStation 5.
Dan Fernandez from Domain Tools, are you around?
Woo!
And the winner also gets Attack Surface Recon API from RedHunt Labs.
A six-month subscription.
And the winner gets a Wi-Fi Auditing Array Player from Hack 5.
And the winner gets a Wi-Fi Auditing Array Player from Hack 5.
And the winner gets a Wi-Fi Auditing Array Player from Hack 5.
And the winner gets RGB Mouse pads from RedHunt Labs.
And the winner gets RGB Mouse pads from RedHunt Labs.
Last but not least, we are going to release all the techniques and
All right. So before they start playing the music on me and telling me to get off stage,
I did want to mention there were some contest events, villages that I didn't have a chance
to mention, but I am going to do better next year. I know I said that last year, but I'm
actually going to do it. So I just wanted to thank them for their hard work. Sorry that
I fucked it up. And as just to change things up, instead of announcing a winner, I would
like to let everyone know that there was a secret challenge in Hacker Karaoke and there
were no winners. So that's still something you guys can do. The prize is an RFID reader
writer. So there's still stuff out there, guys. Thank you so much for this community.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you.
