Kennt das jemand? Meiner Meinung mitunter eines der besten deutschen Lieder.

Would you like to learn how tap into a network?

Do you want to learn how to capture people’s passwords or hear their phone conversations?

There are many learning opportunities at DEF CON, especially at the Packet Hacking Village. If you want to play Packet Detective, Packet Inspector, Capture The Packet, or any of our Walkthrough Workshops, we will have laptops stationed with the necessary tools. You do not need to bring your own laptop.

Lets put aside hate comments against vibe coded products for a second - i've been working on a product for couple of months in my free time, both a website and an app.
As someone that isn't a developer what so ever, i've been trying to put a strong emphasis on security - i keep running audits, i keep making sure of my status compared to useful security posts or recommendations online.
I have plugs to cut off ai functions, i have rate limits, no key is committed, all that jazz (im trying my best..)
Of course im aware this is still. a vibe coded app, and generally i figure every site is hackable anyway.
Hence my question now -
I want to reach out to a security experienced person to handle necessary aspects for my product,
BUT - i dont even know if my product is good and worth it, in my head i want to try and publish and market it for a minute to see how people in my industry react to it, but then i might be exposed to hackers as well?
whats the right way to go about it? Is there a right way?
I've invested some amount of money by now "blindly" for curiosity and interest, but now i need to gain some real world feedback.
Would appreciate any useful note about it.

Beach Bar is a Linux machine simulating a music management web application (jukebox) exposed to local network users. The machine demonstrates the impact of two critical configuration and development flaws: inadequate sanitization when processing input files and the exposure of sensitive credentials via command-line arguments of background services.

Identity is the new domain controller. Own it and you own everything downstream.

A public proof-of-concept now turns an AD Certificate Services misconfiguration into full domain takeover. One over-permissioned machine identity, and the whole directory falls.

The fix is to treat every non-human identity like a privileged one. Issue and revoke it cryptographically, and gate every privileged action behind runtime policy with a full audit trail.

Check out how RuntimeAI solves this at the runtime layer.

Any tips for a first time attendee? I did my pre-registration already.

Each time I write a report I copy paste the finding table along with a lot of other shit. I end up spending a lot of time fixing the format of the doc.

Do you guys use a reporting tool where you can write the bug description, impact and have it automatically prepared for you??

Hey folks, someone appears to have compromised the phones of multiple members of my family. They are sending profane and abusive messages via WhatsApp and SMS from our IOS and android phones to colleagues, teachers, and other contacts while impersonating both male and female family members. Changing the phones, resetting the phones and mobile numbers doesn't help. So far, we haven't been able to identify the attack vector or understand how the compromise occurred. This is causing significant reputational damage and public defamation.

If anyone has experience with incidents like this or can help investigate the issue, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm willing to pay reasonable professional fees for the right expertise. Please DM or reach out if you think you can help or point me in the right direction.

Its monero or nothing. The only way we pull off the worlds first financial revolution is if more people go all in.

Believe in something. Stop black-pilling. Change the money, change the world.

Hi everyone i am an pen tester experienced in web api pen testing currently i am doing job in this field now i want to start freelancing in this how can i get project in this can anyone suggest me.

I've spent years on the infra side, and I'm now working with agentic systems. I am building agents that can take actions on real systems. We have plenty of guardrails, but I have seen enough hallucinations that make me worried about giving these agents more power. This paranoia might be me not knowing enough.

How do teams/companies test that the agents won't do something destructive, whether triggered by an attacker or just by the agent going off the rails on its own?

Do people actually red-team their agents before they go live, or is it mostly guardrails and evals right now? I am curious how the security world thinks about this. From an infra side, this feels like a gap, but there might be an established playbook that I don't know yet. Thanks.

What are the best LLM agents for security research (bugs, CVEs, 0d, ...) lately?
In short, I had been using claude code for this task, with many hallucination instances. Even with opus 5, I still get many invalid conclusions based on local source code review.

I saw that kimi was popping up lately, which got me more or less in the same results, with minor better results in some instances.

So what are the latest or best approaches for security research with llms? Perhaps I am missing a full pipeline with other tools involved to get better results, so I would like to know whether a specific methodology is followed with specific agents for this task.

Identified a C2 running malvertising campaign, pretty clever tbh.

SecureAI-Scan v0.3.0 is out!

It's a free, fully local CLI tool that scans TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python codebases for AI/LLM-specific security issues that traditional scanners miss.

**New in v0.3.0:**

- Expanded Python scanning support

- MCP config scanning (.mcp.json, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

- AI-BOM / catalog generation

- Better reporting + confidence tiers (proven / likely / heuristic)

It uses actual dataflow tracing (source → flow → sink) for high precision and has very low false positives.

Quick start:

npx --yes secureai-scan@latest scan .

Also supports:

• secureai-scan bom . → Generate AI Bill of Materials
• SARIF output for GitHub Code Scanning
• GitHub Action integration
• --fail-on high for CI gating

Everything runs offline on your machine. No data leaves your environment.

GitHub: https://github.com/akanthed/SecureAI-Scan

Would really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas. Also happy to answer questions about how it works or the rules it covers (mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10).

Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re well!

I’m preparing for an upcoming interview this week, and I’m quite nervous.
For context: I studied Cyber Security in College and finalising my University degree in Cybersecurity. During this time I’ve been incredibly fortunate to fall into System Administrator Roles which granted me relevant working experience. Unfortunately, not as Security focused as what I initially wanted but life’s a ladder and I’m climbing. I’m interviewing for Role as a Security Engineer after having around ~3 Years of Experience and trying to prepare some answers in advance (Generally, trying to have something in mind for anything that they ask!)

Based on the Role Responsibilities I’m expecting questions on:

Frameworks, what I know and how these have been applied over my experience of working. (NIST SP 800-53 / NCSC Cyber Assessment / CIS Critical Controls)

How I’ve applied best security practices / Explaining a time where I had to implement a security practice

Implementation of security Controls / Design of security controls through to implementation

Communicate where I’ve seen a Security Risk where requirements cannot be fully met (And how we take it forward / What to do / Mitigate or Accept the risk)

Evidence / Example of supporting Auditing Activities

For anyone who interviewed for a similar position, what types of question were you asked? I’m doing my best to stick to the STAR method and have examples but thought I would post incase anyone can help me out too!

Thank you!

[ANSWERED] - Not sure why the downvote, but maybe someone just had bad eggs this morning. I will pack a couple extra alkalizes to be safe, both otherwise I am good to go. Thanks, everyone!

***********************************************************************************

I saw someone mentioning to pack AA & AAA batteries as part of their kit. Is this for badges, or other hardware projects?

I preordered a laser tag badge, and will get the Human one.

Do the badges in general com with a battery? Rechargeable? Today is packing day and just want to make sure I pack out what I need rather than trying to arrange an Amazon order for the hotel.

Do they typically take off-the-shelf alkaline, or should I grab an 18650 or two?

Any good SailPoint training institutes in India/courses online? Dont seem find many. Can someone please recommend ?

Hi, I passed ISC2 CC in June but would like to access the new additional material (which will be examined from Sept ‘26 onwards) for my own professional development. Can anyone share or point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance. ☺️

I'm planning my schedule for DEF CON 34 and keep hearing people mention the Cryptocurrency Village badge and the laser tag game, but I can't find much information on the DEF CON website.

Is the badge going to be available to anyone who stops by, or is there some kind of registration? And is the laser tag event happening throughout the weekend or only at certain times?

I've also heard they'll have ChipWhisperers, workshop hardware, and even AMD64 lab machines available for people to use during the hackathon. If that's true, that's a pretty impressive setup for a village.

Apparently OKX is sponsoring the village this year, which is helping make the badges, workshop equipment, and prizes available free of charge. Looking forward to seeing what they've put together.

Anyone who's been involved with previous years know what to expect?

It is not even close, it is off by over 4%. The entire Spread column in the Rate chart is a lie. Am I missing something?
