BSidesVienna 0x7E6 takes place on 2023-11-18.

Submission guideline

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.

Time slots

We are currently seeking a selection of presentations (30 or 60 minutes) and shorter (15-minute) lightning talks.

Relevant topics

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

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. [...]
