This year he will present a work on certain problems detected in video cameras: "We found together with Javier Aguinaga two new vulnerabilities in several EZVIZ security cameras. Octavio Gianatiempo talks alongside Octavio Gallard at Defcon 2022 about a flaw in the Realtek SDK. Last year, Gianatiempo presented along with two other local hackers -Octavio Galland, Emilio Couto and Javier Aguinaga- an investigation in which they told how they discovered that a large part of the routers sold in Latin America had a very serious vulnerability that allowed attackers to take control of third-party connections. In Defcon there are " villas", which are "communities specialized in specific topics that choose the best talks within their field, some examples are industrial control systems, biohacking, aerospace, AI, physical security, social engineering, etc," he explains. However, both select highly technical and novel talks," explains Octavio Gianatiempo, an Argentine hacker at Faraday, a company that manages vulnerabilities.īoth conventions, because of their magnitude, are known as "Hacker summer camp". On the other hand, Defcon is a self-managed conference, without sponsors and more focused on the community. "Black Hat is a conference with large sponsors, of a more corporate nature and with the presence of the leading companies in the sector. This differs from Black Hat, which is another convention that takes place a few days earlier this year (from August 5 to 10), also in Las Vegas ( Mandalay Bay), and which has a much more entrepreneurial profile.

"Anyone can propose a work to present, for this they have to send the proposal to the organizers of Defcon so that it is evaluated by a special committee, which chooses the ones that seem best proposals," says Cerrudo, who a few weeks ago published a Hacker's Security Guide (Ekobooks), aimed at educating the mass public on basic security issues of personal accounts.īeyond the more formal investigations, the convention has a strong recreational component: last year, for example, a hacker who managed to install the historic video game Doom on a tractor was all the rage. People meet to learn, to share, to meet friends and colleagues always around the different topics related to hacking and cybersecurity, "César Cerrudo, an Argentine hacker who became famous for demonstrating in an edition, before 2, people, that the traffic lights of different cities in the United States could be hacked, tells Clarín. "It's the largest hacking conference in the world that brings together thousands of people from all over.

With the presence of Argentine researchers, the focus will be on talks and activities on trends in computer security, cyberattacks and vulnerabilities in systems.įrom learning new ways to hack computers to understand and prevent attacks, to participating in competitions to see who can hack a system before others ( Capture The Flag) or deciphering the challenges behind badges, hackers fill the Caesars Forum every year.Īttendees usually also include computer professionals, lawyers, journalists, students and government officials.
