A capture the flag (CTF) contest is a special kind of cybersecurity competition designed to challenge its participants to solve computer security problems and/or capture and defend computer systems. Typically, these competitions are team-based and attract a diverse range of participants, including students, enthusiasts and professionals. A CTF competition may take a few short hours, an entire day or even multiple days.

Adversary Driven Defense in the Real WorldJames Wickett
Talk by Shannon Lietz and James Wickett at DevOps Enterprise Summit 2018, Las Vegas.
Talk covers finding real world adversaries and balancing your effort and defenses to adjust for them.
The Hardcore Stuff I Hack:
This talk is going to give a run through of some of the technical challenges paul and his team have overcome over the years - in as much hardcore detail as possible
Centralized Crypto Exchange Development ChallengesTess Casali
Developing a centralized crypto exchange involves multiple challenges, Overcoming these challenges is essential for creating a competitive exchange in the dynamic crypto market.
SANSFIRE18: War Stories on Using Automated Threat Intelligence for DefenseJohn Bambenek
Between limited resources and a lack of trained professionals on one hand and the increasing quantity and quality of attacks on the other, securing enterprises and responding to incidents has placed defenders on the losing end of a digital arms race. Even managing the amounts of threat data and open-source intelligence has become a challenge.
This talk will cover the possibilities and perils of integrating all the various sources of threat intelligence data to protect an organization. With all the various open-source and paid-source data, simply dumping it all into a firewall or DNS RPZ zone can be problematic. What to do about compromised websites or shared hosting environments? What about DGA domains that use full words and may collide with actual innocent websites? What about how to handle threat data that is lacking in context to make appropriate decisions on its validity and accuracy? This talk will present several case studies in how these problems can be tackled and how using multi-domain analysis can help reduce the risk and maximize the value of automated protection using these types of data.
Explore the world of ethical hacking with CTF (Capture the Flag) in a fun and interactive way. Join us and ensure you bring your laptops to follow along with live CTF challenges. Cybersecurity may seem daunting, but CTF makes it accessible to all.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
