Social Engineering Community Village
Hours:
Friday: 0830 – 1800
Saturday: 1000 – 1800
Sunday: 1000 – 1400
Location:
The Social Engineering Community Village will be in the LVCC West Hall rooms W317-319
Description:
Welcome to the Social Engineering Community! The SEC village focuses purely on the human aspect of security, Social Engineering, to enable people of all ages and backgrounds interested in the subject matter to have a venue to learn, discuss, and practice this craft.
This year, over three days at DEF CON, you can expect the following events to take place in the village:
- Vishing Competition (#SECVC): This edge-of-your-seat 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 to elicit as many objectives as possible. The highest score wins! This competition takes place only on Friday.
- Youth Challenge: Anyone 18 and under is invited to compete and learn about more than just Social Engineering; our challenges include areas in cryptography, network security, defusing intergalactic implosion bombs, and more. Can you stop the universe from imploding into what we’re assuming is probably another universe but much smaller? We hope so! Otherwise, even the dolphins will have to find a new home.
- Cold Calls: This event lets DEF CON attendees sign up in the village (first come, first serve style) to place live phone calls inside 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!
- New: This year, we may have a couple more surprises up our sleeves – stay tuned and check out our website as it gets closer to DEF CON with our daily schedule!
