During the Con’
We have a few events this year, and will post ‘em all here once we get the details sorted. Give them a crack!
Hack And Learn
Opening the doors to questionable moral choices, Hack And Learn aims to provide continued job security for Blue Teamers by teaching the future generations of Red Teamers. HAL is a CTF environment for both n00b and l33t. Either walkthrough a series of boot to root challenges together and learn to hack, or go for glory, open the pod bay doors and take on all the HAL challenges to win yourself some surprises. Bring your hacktops, follow along with the attack demonstrations and learn, or challenge yourself.
This is being run by the HAL folks from AKL, over in the The Michael Fowler Centre - Renouf Foyer (Level 1).
Locksport & Lockpicking
For anyone interested in locks and making them open! There will be a competition for more experienced lockpickers as well as some tools and locks for beginners who want to learn about this fun and tricky hobby.
Competition format is simple: Most opens during the duration of the con from the pile of marked competition locks wins. If we have a tie at the end we’ll come up with some way to resolve it. There will be a couple of “qualifier” locks you’ll need to pick first before you get into the main ones. There will be interesting locks (dimple, sidebar, disc detainer) for more adventurous pickers.
For beginners, we’ll have a large pile of various locks, as well as basic tools and volunteers around to help you get started. Feel free to bring your own tools and/or locks.
We’ll have hand sanitiser and surface cleaner - please wipe down anything you’ve handled before it goes back on the table! All general conference COVID precautions apply.
This event will be in the Michael Fowler Centre - Renouf Foyer (Level 1).
