well for a couple of stats real quick
we've got almost 1500 people here today
which is amazing so congratulations how
many of you are here for your first
Cipher con is there first times holy cow
look at that awesome great anyone here
from first cyer con I know Mike wanted
to know that first timers first timers
and um I we have about 75 different
sessions on two different floors in five
different rooms so find your way around
don't just stay in one place look at the
list and find something that strikes you
uh you're going to find um sponsors on
all the different floors including
Northwestern Mutual we've got Cisco and
Palo Alto over here um upstairs there's
the CTF and Villages um you're also
going to find uh run zero and security
networks and checkpoint are out there um
monster was going to come up here and
talk to you about what the theme is but
somebody dragged him away so he'll come
up and talk to you
later yeah surprise surprise um and so
uh trendon you can talk to us a little
bit about the 101 space yeah um so this
is awesome this is such a good crowd
this has been fun like I mean I've been
here since year one and it has grown so
much this is awesome to see everybody
here I think we've got slides that may
be coming up but I'll go ahe and get
started anyway way um so for the 101
area this year it is full of a lot of
amazing talks I a lot of them that I
wish I could have had when I first
started out in infosec um so we're down
in the hexagon room uh down there so
come enjoy the talks today but we're
doing something a little bit different
this year for the CTF that's uh
surrounding that whole area in the past
we did a very social um kind of QR code
thing and that was really cool uh I
think we were one of the first groups
that like did QR codes broadly at a
conference but now if you go to
conferences it just feels like a very
like marketing gimmick like nobody likes
QR codes being passed around anyway
because it's just like resultant Pam so
I decided that we' kill that and try
something different last year there was
like a big blinky light I tried to do
some collaborative hacking challenges
thought that that would be fun um turns
out people actually like competition and
so there's a bunch of people like oh
we're just supposed to play like CTF
together uh so this year what we're
going to be doing is for the hacker 101
area we have uh four challenges that
open up at 4 o' and they only go till
9:30 so it's a speedrun the first six
people that can clear the board on the
CTF then get to go compete in the hacker
101 area tomorrow but the twist is the
CTF is going to be a spectator event so
we're going to have uh four different
rounds of four players going
head-to-head live with their their
laptops being broadcast on the screen so
you can see how the top hackers actually
go about solving the challenges live in
front of you um so come show up watch
that and then the final uh winner out of
those four rounds gets a lifetime badge
to Cipher on um so pretty cool the um
the website for that is hungryhungry
hackers.com the uh final challenge if it
works fingers crossed is a bunch of
hungry hungry or the Hungry Hungry
Hippos game hooked up to a whole bunch
of servos uh and so it's going to be
whoever get the most marbles first win
so it should be a lot of fun yep um so
again hungryhungry hackers.com is the
website for the CTF this year um is body
checking allowed potentially we'll see I
don't know we'll see how it goes um so
the other thing that we're going to do
tomorrow within the 101 area is uh and
talking with Mike around how we wanted
to run the conference one of the things
that we wanted to make sure that we
tried our best to avoid is any type of
gatekeeping around who gets to talk and
about what um so for the 101 area
between the competitions for the 101 or
the the hungry hungry hackers games uh
we have a Open Mic stage so we do about
30 minutes of competition the remainder
of the space you can come and put your
name in a hat we'll draw your name at
random and you can get up and talk we
asked that it's a PG-13 content at most
since this is a sort of family event um
but other than that whatever you want to
talk about goes so if you've got
something to share and you weren't able
to get your name on the list of official
talks um show up and talk um if not
we'll just chill and have music but um
yeah be there for that so I think uh
that's all I've got for the 101 area all
right thank you very much all right um
we is is Eric in here Eric come on up so
well Eric's coming I'll tell you about
uh hon they're also a sponsor out here
and sprocket security and Sentinel one
make sure you visit them over in their
booths they've got all kinds of Swag and
good stuff for you to play with hey
everybody how's it going all right so
this year I'm doing King of the Hill DJ
style so for the wireless capture the
flags there's going to be two parts of
the competition one is a traditional Fox
Hunt so if you open up your phone right
now look at Wi-Fi I think Fox 5 is in
here so there are multiple foxes uh
spread across cyphercon as Fox if you've
never played that game there is an
access point so like a little myi little
hot spot in somebody's pocket that
person is the fox they know that they're
being hunted and your goal is to try and
find the fox if you find the fox ask
them are you the fox they will say yes
if they are and they will say no if they
are not they are not going to lie to you
take a picture with them show it to me
to prove it and we have some cool swag
to hand out uh the second part of the
wireless competition is the DJ King of
the Hill the way that it works is right
back there when you go outside there's
going to be a box with a screen that'll
display uh all the information that you
need but basically there's a Spotify
playlist if you hack the wireless
network the the psk and you go log into
the page you can add your own uh shared
playlist in there and then add your DJ
handle and the one with the longest DJ
handle who controls the playlist for the
longest for all of Cypher con gets a
pretty sweet priz as well does anybody
have any questions with that does that
make
sense wow really what about foxes you
guys have any questions about foxes
what what does the fox
say um all right I think that's it if
you guys have any questions come find me
thank you thank you very much yeah the
wi-fi hacking is always a great time so
make sure you check that out I didn't
hear about that King of the Hill mode
before that sounds really fun um next up
Dave you want to come up and talk about
Cipher Village he oh heel we talk about
heel not that's the thing
um it's heel
this how you doing I um kind of run the
cipher village with a help of a few
people some of them are in here cryptum
M crypto face anyone else from the
cyppher village happen to be in here
yeah they're at work um so they we're in
203d if you've never done this before in
order to begin you have to get through
our first challenge which is in the
program so you figure that out it tells
you to do something come on over to the
village and then give it to us if you
show up and you don't do that you're
just going to be sent away so this is
kind of my opportunity to help you guys
not make that mistake just do whatever
it says show up and then you actually
start to use our Cipher Cube so in the
past we've done puzzle decks and card
games and all this other stuff and we
wanted to try something different
because all those other things are too
hard for the crowd that came here so
some of the new people hopefully you can
kind of raise the bar a little the
cipher Cube though it is
oversimplified um you get no help you
just everything you need is there and
then once you've done it the fastest
whoever may be it doesn't matter if you
start it tomorrow whoever's the fastest
that could solve it the fastest wins a
life
badge oo in the past we've given them
away because somebody wrote a really
cool poem or a kaly um
orami we're trying not to do that again
so congratulations to those prior
winners we really want to give it to
some somebody who earned it so guys show
up and have some
fun what what I somebody who earned it
what that hurt your feelings well I mean
you write a good where digital Templar
are you here he wrote a really nice poem
and he got a lifetime badge it's like
what's that got to do with
ciphers
