Social Engineering Community (SEC) Youth Challenge 2024
In-Person Contest
Hours: Friday 09:00 – 18:00, Saturday 1000 – 1800
Location: Inside the Social Engineering Community Village (LVCC West Hall rooms W317-319 look for the Youth Challenge table in the back of the room)
The Social Engineering Community needs your help and it’s not exactly a big deal, but without your help, the entire universe is going to implode. Fortunately, some creative beings designed a failsafe just for this specific purpose, the Def Con Social Engineering Youth Challenge at DEF CON 32! Remember, DON’T PANIC!
The implosion failsafe requires anyone under the age of 18 to complete some very specific problem-solving challenges that have been carefully designed for humans only (we don’t know why these challenges were designed only for humans, but it’s reasonable to assume this is another instance of dolphins playing a prank). Some examples of challenges are decoding alien messages, hacking intergalactic systems, and understanding the meaning of life. As you complete these challenges, the universe will be one step further from complete and utter obliteration.
As part of this protocol, you can expect the opportunity to learn valuable skills in cryptography, social engineering, network security, defusing intergalactic implosion bombs, and more. You'll need to keep your eyes on the sky and adapt to overcome serious obstacles designed by what we believe to be the least serious beings in the universe.
Will you be able to 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.
