Check out discussion of this contest as it develops at https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=352 Hardware Hacking Village: To state it most simply, it's a way to give all the Defcon attendees that like electronics a place to play. It's also intended to be a place for everyone that thinks "Wow! That looks cool! I wish I knew how to do that!". It's also going to be the headquarters for Joe Grand (kingpin) so he can talk about hacking past badges and such. It should be a great place to hang out. Find more info on the forums at https://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=9295. The Race to Zero: This one is generating a whole lot of buzz in the press. The Race to Zero involves contestants being given a sample set of viruses and malcode to modify and upload through the contest portal. The portal passes the modified samples through a number of antivirus engines and determines if the sample is a known threat. The first team or individual to pass their sample past all antivirus engines undetected wins that round. Each round increases in complexity as the contest progresses. Further details are available here: http://www.racetozero.net/ And let's not forget the Gringo Challenge, DEF CON B0TS, Lockpick village, a new Hardware Hacking Village, and more.
