2019 - CfP

Propaganda

You can’t keep a good con down… so after a year off sunning ourselves BSidesVienna is back for 2019!

We’re teaming up with the very fine folks over at DeepSec again to throw a BSides event straight after their conference at the end of November. In true BSides fashion we’re looking for a good mix of security and hacker talks designed to wow the crowd and keep them coming back for more.

If you want to get a feel of what we’re looking for, check out the archive of our past BsidesVienna events:

We are currently seeking a selection of presentations and shorter (15-minute) lightning talks. BSides is an open, international event, the official conference language for all talks, trainings and workshops (as well as submitted abstracts) is English to ensure our foreign friends don’t feel all sad panda about missing things.

Topics of interest include (but are in no way limited to) the following:

Information technology

Network security & Cryptography

Web Application security

Mobile security

Usable security

Virtualization and cloud computing

Innovative attack / defense strategies

Forensics / Malware

Embedded device security / IoT

Physical security and lockpicking

Biometrics

Hardware hacking

Phreaking

Biohacking and modification

Open source software

Robotics (bonus points for bringing an actual robot)

Massive abuse of technology

Evolutionary computing

History & Philosophy of computing

Ethical and philosophical implications of hacking

Disrupting politics & society (in a constructive way)

Creating and maintaining safe-spaces & encouragement of female participation

The Jargon Lexicon contains a nice definition we think fits very well here:

hacker: n. [...] 7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations. [...]

Submission

CFP will close on 04th November 2019 (@ 23:59 UTC+2).
