DEF CON 32

DEF CON is one of the world’s longest running and largest hacker conventions. Government security researchers, cyber staff, developers, IT employees, and law enforcement join black and white hat hackers at this conference to better understand the significant vulnerabilities facing public and private sector technology, systems, and products.

DEF CON has been a part of the hacker community for over two decades. Pick up a bit of history and origin by checking out the About Page. The DEF CON FAQ has the answers to most of the common questions you might have.

This year’s theme is “Engage”. The internet may be trending toward a dystopia of dark patterns and walled gardens, but we can do better. We know how. The antidote to apathy and doomscrolling is engagement. You can read The Dark Tangent’s full post about it here.
