Social Engineering Community Vishing Competition (SECVC)
Hours:
Friday 0830 - 1800
Location:
Social Engineering Community Village (LINQ Hotel, 3rd floor, room Social A)
Description:
In this competition (#SECVC), teams go toe to toe by placing live vishing (voice phishing) phone calls in front of the Social Engineering Community audience at DEF CON. These calls showcase the duality of ease and complexity of the craft against the various levels of preparedness and defenses by actual companies. Teams can consist of 1-3 individuals, which we hope allows for teams to utilize novel techniques to implement different Social Engineering tactics. Each team has limited time to place as many calls as possible from a soundproof booth. During that time, their goal is to elicit from the receiver as many objectives as possible. Whether you’re an attacker, defender, business executive, or brand new to this community, you can learn by witnessing firsthand how easy it is for some competitors to schmooze their way to their goals and how well prepared some companies are to shut down those competitors!
2023 judges: Corgi, FC aka freakyclown, and Snow
2023 coaches: Ibetika, JC, C_3PJoe, and Split Beans (last year's SECVC winners: Jenn, Matt, and Sean)
This competition takes place on Friday in the Social Engineering Community village, be sure to get there early to get a seat; they fill up fast! Additionally, at the end of Friday, join Snow as she covers the behind the scenes of creating the SECVC, this year's lessons learned, team highlights, and tips for future competitors!
