Adversary Village is a community initiative which primarily focuses on adversary simulation, purple teaming, and adversary tradecraft. The village covers adversary emulation, threat/APT/ransomware emulation, breach and adversarial attack simulation, supply chain security, adversary tactics, research on nation-state sponsored threat-actors, adversary intelligence, life, adversarial mindset, adversary philosophy and hacker survival skills.
The goal of the Adversary Village is to build an open security community for the researchers and organizations, who are putting together new means, methodologies towards the simulation and emulation of adversary tactics and purple teaming.
Subsequent to feedback from past editions, Adversary Village shall focus on hosting hands-on deep technical workshops, live demonstrations, panel discussions and a ton of other hands-on activities on adversarial attack simulation/emulation, adversary tactics and hacker survival skills.
Adversary Village would have the following hands-on activities for this year at DEF CON;
Adversary simulator and purple teaming hands-on booth:
Adversary Simulator booth is a volunteer assisted activity, which has hands-on adversary emulation plans and exercises specific to a wide variety of threat-actors; these are meant to provide the participants with a better understanding of adversarial attack emulation. The booth will be hosting a simulated environment meant to recreate enterprise infrastructure, operational technology environment, which serves targets for various attack simulations.
The hands-on simulator booth also hosts an activity, which would need the participants to generate their own adversary emulation plans to assess the efficacy of the defense systems based on publicly available cyber threat intelligence.
Choose-your-own adversary adventure game:
Adversary adventure is a story-scenario based, interactive, choose-your-own adventure model interactive game. This is a gamified version of table-top exercises which is presented to the participants as they can choose to play as an attacker, post exploitation OR a Defender who is defending against an attacker group-threat actor OR even play as a CISO who is dealing with an adversarial situation such as a ransomware incident.
Hands-on deep technical workshops:
Adversary Village will feature a limited number of deep technical workshops focused on advanced adversary tradecraft and techniques.
Adversary Wars CTF:
Adversary Village will be hosting a CTF named "Adversary Wars", where the participants will have to pose as adversaries and replicate adversarial actions against each element of a “target” organization. Adversary Wars would have real world simulation of CTF scenarios and challenges, where the participants can perform various attacks and learn new attack vectors, TTPs, techniques, etc. To visualize the CTF environment, the contest area will feature a miniature model of the city made using interlocking-plastic-bricks. The breached components OR organization buildings will be physically marked in the city model as the CTF progresses.
Just like in previous years, winning teams in the CTF competition can expect fantastic prizes. Additionally, there will be complimentary hoodies (yes, the iconic adversary village hoodies), free t-shirts, cool stickers, village coins, badges, and various other swag for the village participants.
