Car Hacking Village will be joining Defcamp in 2025! Come visit our village in beautiful Bucharest, the capital of Romania, to enjoy learning about the importance of cybersecurity in the automotive industry and experience hands-on Car Hacking!

The Village at Defcamp will feature automotive cybersecurity research presented by local universities, hands-on car hacking workshops for beginners, and an easy CTF to help newcomers learn their way around a vehicle’s systems.

ROOTCON 17 will be on September 27, 28 & 29, 2023 at Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay, Philippines. This year for ROOTCON 17 Car Hacking Village in the Philippines, there will be lots of activities including bug-bashing a PoC vehicle.

Analysis of an In-vehicular network: From CAN bus to infotainment by Div0 CSQ
Present-day vehicles such as the Connected vehicles (CV) include wireless and external functionalities that improve drivers' experiences. CV will continue to play a huge role in our daily lives despite mass adoptions on Electric Vehicles (EV) and testing on Autonomous Vehicles (AV). This talk will feature CSQ’s test bench 3 as we explore more features on Connected vehicles. We will talk more about Infotainment systems and the difficulties we face with setting up bench 3 and go through the vehicular architectural differences between test bench 2 and 3. Finally, we will point out some learning points and challenges.

Blue Team Tricks - An overview of Automotive Defensive Engineering By Scott Sheahan
Sun Tzu said, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” This talk is for car hackers to learn about modern defense measures being added to ECUs and Vehicle Architectures.

200+ global Infosec influencers, including 50 Black Hat trainers and hundreds of ethical hackers will fly in from across the world to tell their stories and provide tuition on how to stay ahead of the dark criminal networks seeking to devastate critical infrastructure. Learn from them at one of the world's biggest cybersecurity conferences, Black Hat MEA. Register for the 2022 infosec event now.

GrrCON is an information security and hacking conference that provides the Midwest InfoSec community with a fun atmosphere to come together and engage with like minded people. We keep GrrCON small with around 2,000 attendance to allow us to provide those things other events leave out. Whether you are a Fortune 500 executive, security researcher, industry professional, student, or a hacker of “flexible” morals you will find something for you at GrrCON.

Mission:

Support Underserved and Women Communities in Cybersecurity, by way of raising awareness, funds, donations and through Mentorship, Scholarships, Grants, Conference Access, Training, Workshops, Labs, Vouchers for Exams and Trainings.

Vision:

Provide an avenue to increase the numbers of underserved and women entering into the Cybersecurity field. 

CHV is an interactive village with the goal of teaching, demonstrating, and gamifying car hacking. Visit us this year to see our Car Hacking 3D Simulator that we built for the goal of introducing the fundamentals of vehicle networks, vehicle diagnostic messages, and general vehicle hacking to the masses. The Simulator is also a CTF so whether you are new to car hacking or a seasoned professional, you’ll have a lot of fun competing and learning about this exciting field of hacking.
