ADVERSARY VILLAGE

Adversary Village is a community initiative and part of DEF CON Villages, which primarily focuses on adversary simulation, purple teaming, adversary emulation, and adversary tradecraft. The village covers a wide range of topics, including offensive cyber security, threat/APT/ransomware simulation, breach and adversarial attack simulation, adversary tactics, research on nation-statesponsored threat-actors, adversary intelligence, adversarial mindset and hacker survival skills.

The goal of Adversary Village is to build an open security community for researchers and organizations developing innovative approaches to offensive cyber security, adversary simulation/emulation, and purple teaming.

At a diverse range of conferences, we coordinate villages, capture-the-flag competitions, Hands-on activities, panel discussions, live demos, technical talks and workshops to engage and educate the security community.

Over the years, we have successfully hosted Adversary Village at various conferences, including some of the biggest in the world, such as the DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas and the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

There will be hands-on hacking activities for the participants regardless of their experience and knowledge level. The hands-on hacking activities include gamified version of table-top exercises, defense-evasion contests, adversary simulator booth, ransomware-threat actor emulation etc.

We will be hosting a simulated environment meant to recreate enterprise infrastructure, operational technology environment, which serves targets for various attack simulations.

There will be complimentary hoodies (yes, the iconic adversary village hoodies), cool stickers, village coins, badges, and various other swags for the village participants.
