Categories
New Research - 40 mins – 1 hour
A deep knowledge technical track that includes new research, vulnerabilities, zero days or exploits. And by new we really mean new i.e. if your research or talk has been published / showcased (partially or wholly) before, it will fall under current research category even though there are enhancements / changes to the original research.
Current Research - 40 mins – 1 hour
Comprises of known security issues, new research presented / published elsewhere, case studies, twist to an existing research, vulnerability, exploit or research-in-progress.
Tool - 30 mins – 1 hour
Comprises of open source security tools, exploits, hardware etc. This is an excellent opportunity for the original authors to showcase their work to the world.
Note:
Only the original authors should submit their research and any submission from a third party will be rejected. The abstract should clearly mention the techniques and hacks in detail and merely mentioning that it works will not help in understanding the research to its full extent. Product/company marketing and pitches will be rejected. We request you not to submit any product specific talk.
