Description:
Welcome to the Social Engineering Community! The SEC village focuses purely on the human aspect of security, Social Engineering, with the goal of enabling people of all ages and backgrounds interested in the subject matter with a venue to learn, discuss, and practice this craft.
This year, over the course of three days at DEF CON, you can expect the following events to take place in the village:
- Vishing Competition (#SECVC) – This competition is where prior selected teams (who have already put WEEKS of work into the competition) place live phone calls inside a soundproof booth in front of SEC audience members with the goal of eliciting as many objectives as possible. Highest score, wins! This competition takes place only on Friday.
- Youth Challenge – Anyone 18 and under is invited to play, where they can compete and learn about more than just social engineering; our challenges include areas in cryptography, network security, ... and don't worry, you won't be alone. We've worked with other villages so you can get help you need and learn on the way!
- Cold Calls – This event lets DEF CON attendees sign up in the village (first come, first serve style) to place live phone calls inside of the soundproof booth. We provide the target and phone number, then give a few objectives (easy, medium, and hard), and start a countdown timer to see if they have the skills to get information from a stranger, with no preparation. There is nothing to prepare for, just bring yourself!
- SE Improv – Struggling to think on your feet? Discover the art of improvisation and transform every conversation into an opportunity! On Saturday, the improv team will start by presenting the benefits of utilizing Improv with Social Engineering and then have the opportunity for audience participation.
- Presentations – Come listen from folks in the field and get a glimpse of the newest techniques and perspectives in our presentations and panels hosted various times between Friday and Saturday in the village.
- Social Engineering Community Party (80's theme) – Want to hang out without the loud music so that you can actually have a conversation? *Put on your raddest 80s gear* and join the Social Engineering Community for a themed get-together for a chance to hang out and meet new people! We'll have a cash bar with both boozy and booze-free options. Forums room 117/118.
