Hacktivity is a worldwide known cybersecurity summit with a history of 20 years. It brings together the official and alternative representatives of the information security profession as the largest event of its kind in Central & Eastern Europe. The conference has an environment designed to cater students as well as seasoned professionals. The presentations are informal, informative, and sometimes deeply technological.
CFP Description
Call For Contributions/Speakers: As usual, we are offering two alternatives: you can either give a presentation (20 or 40 minutes long) or you can give a 2-hour-long workshop.
Presentations: This is business as usual. We require a similar thing as in any other IT security conference CFP. We are accepting presentations from a wide spectrum of IT security topics. It is up to you to apply for a presentation that is in line with the spirit of Hacktivity. We favor presentations with a demo. Please write your slide deck in English. Your speech can be in English (favored) or Hungarian. As a speaker, you can have either a 20 minute or a 40 minutes slot to present your topic.
Comprehensive workshop sessions: We all know there is a huge difference between seeing and doing. Real knowledge grows from issuing your first command. Therefore, to help visitors start off learning we organize workshops. Comprehensive workshops are 2 hours long courses introducing basic/intermediate IT security skills. Previous years included topics like: - Burp Extensions - Malicious PDF Analysis - Basic rootkit techniques - SQL injections - Hardware hacking - etc…
A comprehensive workshop should meet the following requirements: - participants should acquire a definite and useful piece of knowledge; - participants bring their own equipment you should calculate with the diversity; - a workshop will not have more than 25 attendees; - it should fit into 60 plus 60 minutes (seeing plus doing) from preparation to takeaways. - one workshop will be held max. 2 times during the two days
Topics Here are some topics that we are especially interested in: - Vulnerabilities in unexpected territories - Exploit mitigations and their mitigations - Malware analysis inside or outside the sandbox - Blue Team techniques / operation - Big Data / Cloud / APT / any_fancy_buzzword What’s the big deal? Are there any / What are the new threats? - Extraordinary stories of #FAIL - Any research which brings something brand new to the security world - These are just examples though, please feel free to submit your talk as long as it fits to the spirit of Hacktivity.
