Villages
Visit the Aerospace Village, a registered 501(c)(3) organization, to learn more about our mission to build, inspire, and promote an inclusive community of next-generation aerospace cybersecurity expertise and leaders. Our aviation and space experts will demonstrate the impact of ICS vulnerabilities on airport lighting systems, along with displaying a CubeSat/FlatSat. Learn how the Air Force created its one-of-a-kind Hack-a-Sat Capture the Flag competition. Get hands on with Bricks-in-the-Air to learn about keeping aircraft control systems secure.
Biohacking / Medical Device Village
The BIOHACKING Village, a 501(C)3 organization, will have a wide variety of medical devices on display for discussion and questions. Our team will be ready to discuss and demonstrate how these devices can be remotely attack and negatively impact patient safety.
CISA and INL ICS Escape Room
CISA's Industrial Control Systems Section (ICSS) and Idaho National Labs (INL) are offering participants a unique Cyber-focused Escape Room! Teams of up to 12 participants will have their teamwork, knowledge, and problem-solving skills tested as they attempt to stop malicious cyber criminals from causing catastrophic damage to the Nation's critical infrastructure. With a wide range of difficulty and complexity in the challenges, this is a perfect event for newcomers to cybersecurity as well as seasoned incident responders - all will be challenged and will leave (if they make it out!) with a new understanding and appreciation of cybersecurity and infrastructure security concepts. All are welcome - individuals and smaller groups will be merged together as needed.
DOE CESER and INL team up with a demonstration of the world-renowned CyberStrike LIGHTS OUT training for Hack the Capitol. Participants will be guided through a hands-on demonstration of the cyberattack process used by an adversary to remotely turn off electricity to a quarter million customers in Ukraine.
MITRE Caldera™ OT Unit Simulation
Come experience a MITRE CalderaTM for OT demonstration unit representative simulation of a three-floored manufacturing facility representing OT systems including facility access and safety components. The simulation includes CALDERA™ OT software enabling emulated adversary action against these representative systems.
The National Cryptologic Museum will be exhibiting and demonstrating a captured German Enigma machine. Swing by to see how these machines were employed to encrypt and decrypt sensitive communications. Ask us how it was ultimately defeated and how the Allied forces benefited from the compromised communications.
The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers, or TOOOL, is an international group of lockpicking enthusiasts dedicated to advancing the general public knowledge about locks and lockpicking through teaching, research, and competition. TOOOL in the United States is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with Chapters in more than 20 states, including affiliated Chapters in Canada.
GRIMM will demonstrate what a cyberattack can do to critical infrastructure. They will use the Scythe Platform for Threat Emulation to demonstrate actual Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) that an adversary would use against a network.
