| Details: BSides is a community-driven framework for organizing and holding information security conferences, a concept that began in the US in 2009. Because the call for papers that year for Black Hat Vegas was oversubscribed, a number of quality speakers were rejected—not because of lack of quality but of lack of space and time. Those unable to present decided to hold their own conference on the "b side." Since then, many BSides events have been arranged in several countries throughout the world. BSides has come to be known as a conference by the community for the community. Events are generally inexpensive to attend and rely heavily on sponsorship to pay for the venue and other costs. Because BSides events offer smaller, more intimate networking atmospheres and breakout discussions, they foster strong audience participation and overall group interaction. They create opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an atmosphere that encourages collaboration. | ||||

| Name: OWASP AppSec Israel (Call for Workshops) | City: Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 | Start Date: | Website: https://appsecil.org/CFW | Details: The OWASP AppSec Israel Workshop Day will take place on Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 – right before the AppSec Israel Conference at the same location (Tel Aviv Expo - Pavilion 10) and will be free to attend. We are now calling for trainers who are willing to support the Israeli AppSec community and submit proposals to deliver these workshops on a free/pro-bono basis. This year, we are looking for multiple trainers to deliver hands-on workshops in English lasting between 1.5 and 3 hours although we would also be interested in proposals for a full day workshop for a particularly good fit. The workshops should be aimed at developers and newcomers to application security. The goal is to improve the security of all software and grow the pool of skilled professionals in the field. Topics we are interesting in seeing in proposals include: * Workshops on common (OWASP Top 10 2021) attacks and their mitigations * Secure development with modern paradigms such as Single Page Applications and WebSockets. * General application security mechanisms * Secure coding guidelines Preference will be given to submissions which: * Make use of OWASP projects as part of the workshops * Provide content and exercises which the attendees can take home with them * Refer to modern technologies such as (but not limited to) node.js, Go, Python, Scala * Have a strong interactive and hands-on focus. * Do not rely on downloading large virtual machines for exercises. |
| Details: Anything and everything AppSec! Application security, software security, cloud security, DevSecOps. In general, the only restriction on the subject of the talks is being related to Application Security or Software Security in some way (not necessarily Web). We will not accept any talks regarding other aspects of Security, that are not applicative in nature. All talks must be vendor neutral. Talks at any technical level can be accepted. Priority will be given to talks that were not presented before. We especially appreciate talks from security folk in large organizations (“security consumers”) who can share different Case Studies from the field. Specifically, the topics we look for include, but are not limited to, the following subject areas: * Secure development: secure coding, supply-chain security, static analysis, application threat modeling, web frameworks security, countermeasures, SDLC, DevOps, etc. * Mobile security: Development and/or testing devices and the mobile web * Cloud security: Offensive and defensive considerations for cloud-based web applications * Applicative Infrastructure security: Database security, VoIP, hardware, identity management, serverless and containers frameworks * Penetration testing: Methodologies, tools, exploit development, evasion techniques, OSINT, etc. * Emerging web technologies and associated security considerations * Internet of Things: IoT security and other devices * SCADA and Industrial Control Systems: and how these can be secured, or hacked, at an application or software level. * Applied Cryptography: Relevant research, new models, algorithm usage, interesting attacks, and other applications. * Incident response: Threat detection, triage, malware analysis, forensics, rootkit detection * OWASP tools and projects in practice * Policy and legal: Legislation, privacy, regulations and compliance, C-level considerations, etc. * Cool hacks and other fun stuff: cryptography, social engineering, etc. | ||||

| Details: Every DEF CON event has a theme, and this year’s theme is "The Future Will Prevail". "We are living through a revolt against the future. The future will prevail.’ - Anand Giridharadas This DEF CON is about the future we want to bring into being, together. DEF CON’s hacker community has a powerful role to play in whatever comes next, From hardware to policy, from biohacking to satellites. The skill set of hackers - reckless curiosity, the drive to know how systems work and a vision that sees beyond what a thing is and into what it could be after its pesky warranty is voided - is more important now than its ever been. As you work on your various projects, keep in mind that the future is undefeated, and it belongs to the resourceful, the brave and most of all to those who can see around the corner of what is and what might be. When it comes to DEF CON talks we always want all presentations to thrive with content that inspires others about hacking or reminds us why we come to Vegas. Talks that might make you say "Who would have thought to hack that?". We’re looking for talks that represent hackers & hacking, talks that get how you define the word hacker. We also like the occasional hacker war stories, the legendary tales of hacker realities typically heard off stage. These type of talks aren't dropping RCE's on stage, instead they're the stories of those who did something particularly unique using hacker intuition. While we typically lean toward talks that give the attendees something to walk out with like a new tool or exploit, war stories are talks that narrate an experience or enrich our potential. This year we are incorporating Policy @ DEF CON talks and sessions into our official CFP process. Policy @ DEF CON is looking for proposals that touch on any part of the public policy spectrum including international perspectives on cyber war, norms for the cyber domain, healthcare security policy and everything in between. Every part of the technology ecosystem is impacted by policy and should be a part of our community and conversation. Bringing hackers to policy discussions and policy people to hackers is a goal of ours, and when submitting a CFP we will tend to favor the following: Substantive discussions - scripted talking points belong in a different venue. Tangible outcomes - what happens in Vegas doesn’t HAVE to stay there. Emerging issues - anticipating and addressing future problems. Our Policy program will consist of two places to speak at DEF CON, our Main stage talks & daytime sessions in our Policy @ DEF CON track. More info on what qualifies for a session and/or a talk can be found at Policy @ DEF CON Call Page. What else? Because of our hacker focus, submissions that support the hacker mindset or demonstrate how to master a certain technique are going to be selected over a great enterprise InfoSec talk. A reviewer once said a few years back, “Sometimes content is more inline with an Infosec conference, not that there isn't an overlap between the two, but as a hacker who manages a security team, I come to DC to learn about hacking not managing.” Many of the reviewers share this sentiment. DEF CON has always tried to provide a way to amplify the work of hackers, and to create a venue for research that allows for others to grow. The idea that technology should be free was written into the subtext of "The Hacker Manifesto" and is just as valid today as it was 33 years ago. DEF CON is the largest sponsor free hacking conference, and does not seek or accept money to secure a speaking spot. You have to earn your speaking spot by impressing the CFP review team with your knowledge and skill, only then will you get your spot on stage in front of thousands of hackers. When you fill out your application this year please elaborate on everything your talk will bring to the table. DEF CON wants to know how you or your presentation(s) will contribute a new perspective to the content at DEF CON. Check out https://media.defcon.org/DEF CON 30/ for last year's content & conference presentations.
