Villages
We have a variety of villages or interesting topics that will be at OSSCON, ensuring that something will interest you regardless of skill level.
Lockpicking Village
Join us at the Lock Picking Village to learn and practice ethical lock picking. Participants can try various locks and tools, gaining hands-on experience with lock mechanics and physical security. The lockpicking challenge will host a challenge where attendees will go through a gauntlet of locks that get progressively harder to get challenge coins.
Hardware Hacking Village
A group dedicated to hacking hardware. Discover the art of hardware hacking with a community dedicated to exploring and modifying devices. Visit this interactive space to see hacked gaming consoles, custom circuit boards, and other unique devices. Participants can get hands-on experience with tools and techniques for disassembling, analyzing, and enhancing hardware.
Wireless Hacking Village
Explore the world of Radio Frequency and Wifi hacking. Here, you’ll explore the techniques for analyzing and manipulating wireless signals, from Wi-Fi networks to broader RF communications. Through interactive workshops and hands-on challenges, participants can learn about common vulnerabilities in wireless protocols, experiment with signal interception, and understand how attackers can compromise wireless networks. You’ll also discover tools and best practices for securing your wireless setups, making this village ideal for beginners and advanced enthusiasts.
Web Sec Village
Explore the world of web vulnerabilities and defenses at the Web Security Village! This interactive space is dedicated to uncovering the many security risks hidden within websites and web applications. Participants will dive into common web exploits like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and session hijacking to learn how attackers can exploit these weaknesses. Through hands-on labs and demos, you'll also discover how to implement security measures to protect web assets, ensuring safe and resilient applications.
Blue Team Village
Join the defenders at the Blue Team Village, a space dedicated to protecting networks and strengthening security against attacks. Here, you’ll learn hands-on techniques for safeguarding networks, hardening systems, and building resilience against real-world threats. Through interactive demos and workshops, participants can explore topics like intrusion detection, incident response, and threat hunting, which are key skills that prevent attackers from compromising systems and impacting organizations.
Red Team Village
Step into the Red Team Village and join the ranks of ethical hackers on a mission to penetrate systems and uncover vulnerabilities. Bypass defenses, exploit vulnerabilities, and decrypt the mainframe to learn about offensive security. Participate in the OSINT challenge to sharpen your skills with open-source intelligence tools and discover how red teamers gather critical data to exploit weaknesses.
