We are pleased to announce that Anomali and Guidepoint have partnered up to host our After Party Event this year. Planning is in the works so stay tuned for further information!
After a ton of submissions by designers on 99designs, and a round of voting from the RVAsec community, we are pleased to show off the RVAsesc 2016–RVA5ec–logo:
We were very pleased with the voting outcome, and really think this unique design embodies permanent needs in security–identity, authorization and authentication (don’t believe us? Just search the news). It also puts front and center that this is year 5–FIVE–thanks to our attendees our sponsors.
You will see variations on this logo throughout the coming months & at the conference. Register now and you are very likely to end up with this on a shirt!
We had a lot of great submissions to the CFP this year! It was extremely hard but we’ve managed to whittle it down to another great lineup for RVA5ec.
Without further delay, here are the speakers for the 2016 RVA5ec conference!
For detailed information about the speakers and their talks please see rvasec.com/speakers/
Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal to the CFP–the review team had to make some tough decisions and we appreciate all the time and hard work that went into submitting.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
The RVAsec CTF team is beginning the setup and planning phase of the 2016 conference. As many of you know, we pride ourselves with this CTF being an all-inclusive learning CTF and not just a ‘stump the chump / who’s the best engineer in the room’ kind of CTF. That said, we need volunteers to come up with fresh ideas, challenges, and setups that are both fun and informative. Additionally, we do want to provide a challenge for those who show up looking for one, so if you are a more advanced user or admin and have some killer challenges that can stump someone, we’ll need those too for the higher tiers.
Speaking of Tiers, we plan to have 3 or 4 tiers this year and they will be as follows:
Tier 1 -Beginner
This tier will comprise the majority of the challenges and points ideally. Challenges in this category should be purely beginner level challenges. Some examples of year past are:
Connecting to SSH and copying part of the SSH key as the flag
Looking in web page source code for the flag
Trivia questions related to IT / Hacking History / Etc.
Wireshark dumps of plain text authentications
Port and/or device identification (that’s port 25, used for SMTP, running on a Raspberry pi, identified by its MAC OUI)
Tier 2 – Moderate
This is a moderate tier geared more towards people who digging deeper into Security and the different facets it includes as well as experienced Pentesters. Some examples from the past:
XOR code samples with python
Heartbleed exploit to retrieve login information
Local privilege escalation to find the Flag
SQL injection
MS08-67 Exploits
Brute force SSH or SFTP sites
DFIR recovery and artifact location
Tier 3 – Hard
The hard tier, built mainly with ‘stump the chump’ challenges that are for the seasoned CTF player and people solely after winning prizes and spending the whole con in the CTF:
Reverse engineering samples
Malware C2 traffic Analysis
Chained exploits
Ghost services that have to fuzzed
Firmware disassembly
Tier 4 – Hardware
Hopefully, we will be able to include various hardware challenges this year with the help of HackRVA as we have in the past, this tier will be specific to the Badges but we are always open to including other Hardware or IoT related challenges in at this level, so any idea, let us know!
So all that said – Come help out! If you are interested in assisting, please send an email to Mike Bailey and we’ll add you to the mailing list going forward as we begin to work it all out.
We are looking for a sponsor for the CTF, if you are interested please contact us to discuss!
Thanks and we will provide more updates as they happen!
