<p>–[ Synopsis:</p>
<p>Hackito Ergo Sum is an international conference focused on<br>
security and hacking breakthroughs from many different<br>
perspectives: corporate, hackers, industry, governments,<br>
academics. Diversity and creativity in this domain are the key<br>
words. HES2013 will have for its 4th edition some of the best<br>
hacking talents in the world.</p>
<p>--[ Venue:</p>
<p>Hackito Ergo Sum 2013 will take place in Paris, France from the<br>
2nd to the 4th of May, 2013, at Cite des sciences et de<br>
l'industrie.</p>

<p>--[ Introduction:</p>
<p>It's 2013 and we're alive! Awesome! Let's have a look at what<br>
hacking future we have.</p>
<p>From the tectonic shift of forces from the West to the East, the<br>
rise of military-powered attack software, and the evermore<br>
sophisticated games of spooks, yesteryear's "cloak-and-dagger"<br>
has come to the hacking world. This is a game of mapping<br>
individuals and their influences at hacking conferences,<br>
cancelling Visas of potential future-enemies in a the<br>
foreshadowed "cyber-war", buying AND selling 0-days to identify<br>
hidden networks of the underground, raising their filternet,<br>
establishing red-button routers, identifying challenge winners<br>
and profiling their hacking methodologies, and owning botnets for<br>
sheer firepower.</p>
<p>We are in deep shit.</p>
<p>But hey, wait, that's FUN! No matter the forces that threaten our<br>
liberties and trace our modems, we still have not and will not<br>
loose our passion to tinker, to explore, to peal back the layers<br>
of technological reality. We have not lost the Will to Hack.</p>
<p>For the rest of us, we're still all alike when we read media and<br>
government propaganda: hackers intruding everything and waging<br>
cyberwar, panic-spreading, FUD-driven definition of us as bad<br>
guys, mafia, and evil-doers. All alike.</p>
<p>Our world is the world of hack, of the beauty of the baud and the<br>
sheer madness of the screaming electron, (respect to Phrack and<br>
The Mentor), and we won't change it for anything. Because it is<br>
the most immense and yet most fragile human creation; it is our<br>
world and we own it.</p>
<p>If a khaki-pants warmonger or a 3-piece suit master-of-the-world<br>
wannabee wants to confiscate it from us, restrict our freedom,<br>
ban our activities, turn the public opinion to follow their<br>
agenda, well, they may try, they may block some of us, they may<br>
even put some of us out of the circuit, but they can't replicate<br>
our passion, our energy, our love of what we do, our insane<br>
attention to the detail and effectiveness of our techniques.</p>
<p>Because in end, we're all alike. And we're damn ALIVE!</p>
<p>Now for the enlightened, our shared future is full of<br>
opportunities, the humbling discoveries of others, and open<br>
projects that inspire us to join and create together. Our futures<br>
is limited only by our capability to collaborate in great<br>
projects, and also to leave space for the others. TOR is kicking<br>
and OONI roaring; TRAILS offers OS privacy and security for who<br>
needs it; many conferences are being born everywhere; Frida IRE<br>
is an amazing reversing tool; Qubes provides long sought-out<br>
tough security; plenty of new tools are being released to reveal<br>
unique weaknesses and failures. This furious creativity and<br>
ecosystem gives birth to world-changing start-ups, vital<br>
resources, must-have open source projects, and of course, one of<br>
the most open and creative cultures. All this, against all odds,<br>
exists and develops without bias nor prejudice. Just like it is.</p>
<p>So for Hackito Ergo Sum 2013, we want to see you exactly in the<br>
same way: just like you are (ALERT: if you think about food here<br>
you need to smash your TV and DNS bind youtube.com to<br>
github.com), new or old school, skiddie or security professional,<br>
n00b or l33t, to share and show diversity, and, most of all, to<br>
LEARN. It is therefore our utmost pleasure to welcome you to this<br>
4th edition of HES!</p>
<p>Since 2010, the goal of Hackito Ergo Sum has been to promote<br>
security research, broaden public awareness, and create an open<br>
forum so that communication between researchers, the security<br>
industry, experts, and the public can happen.</p>
<p>Like every year, we offer the possibility to hackers, security<br>
researchers, students, and academics to present their projects<br>
and research.</p>
<p>During the three days of HES, research conferences, solutions<br>
presentations, panels, debates, AND PARTIES will aim to share,<br>
mix, and determine the future of IT security & hacking.</p>
<p>--[ Content of the Research Track:</p>
<p>We are expecting submissions in English only.<br>
The format will be 45 minutes presentation + 10 minutes Q&A.</p>
<p>Please note that talks whose content will be judged too<br>
commercial or biased toward a given vendor will be rejected.</p>
<p>We will have slots for AnonConf -- that is, speaking about topics<br>
for which improved anonymity and freedom of speech is imperative.<br>
(Write Anon in email, use PGP).</p>
<p>We will also consider new and first time presenters, so that<br>
anyone can get his/her foot in the door. Don't be shy, just say<br>
"It's one of my first conf submission", and we'll be kind.</p>
<p>For the research track, preference will be given to offensive,<br>
innovative, and highly technical proposals.</p>
<p>As a suggestion, we would love to see things about:</p>
<p>* SIPRnet, NIPRnet & other defense networks funny stories<br>
* LTE radio and signaling abuses and/or real life hacks<br>
* 4G, Diameter & GRX/IPX hacks<br>
* Exploit style stylography<br>
* CTF Antiforensics: Detection of Intelligence gathering CTFs<br>
* Government filternets (formerly known as Internet, R.I.P)<br>
* x86/64 & Non-x86 exploitation<br>
* New methods to detect software bugs (source or binary based)<br>
* Funky Kernel land exploits<br>
* Offensive forensics<br>
* Current kernel buffer overflows exploit techniques for your<br>
grandmother<br>
* SAT solving your ROP gadgeting and chaining<br>
* Real life hack automation (yeah, default passwords and reuse DO<br>
work better than overflows in a kernel 3.x world)<br>
* IOS vuln research & vulndev<br>
* Identifying tainted 0-day sploits for government-sponsored grey<br>
market tracing<br>
* Mobile Botnets and Overlay networks-based C&C<br>
* IPv6 & "Carrier Grade NATs" advances<br>
* M2M Machine Type Communication<br>
* Sound hacking: binaural, brown, ...<br>
* UEFI malware writing<br>
* Android, RIM, Bada, IOS Mobile applications & OS hacks<br>
* TPM and Secure Boot kitting & knifing<br>
* FPGA backdoors<br>
* Automated Hardware reverse engineering<br>
* Hardware security & lockpicking in 2013</p>
<p>We will also have a Zero Day Show, as last year, at the end of<br>
the conference so that people can share (love/kindness) or show<br>
(salivate/envy) their new babies to the world. Prepare! Zombie<br>
Exploitocalyps incoming <img

<p>--[ Sponsors:</p>
<p>We are looking for sponsors. Don't forget that sponsors are<br>
essential for events like HES.</p>
<p>Entrance fees and sponsors fees are used to fund international<br>
speakers travel costs and hosting facility. Please ask for the<br>
HES2013 Sponsor Kit at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:hes2013-orga@lists.hackitoergosum.org">hes2013-orga@lists.hackitoergosum.org</a>.</p>

<p>--[ Challenges</p>
<p>Of course, there will be an online challenge during the<br>
conference, hosted and animated by Over The Wire. We will<br>
announce the country of honor for that regard shortly.</p>
<p>We will also have a new Hacker & Vendors challenge:</p>
<p>-^-^-^- The Fuzzor -^-^-^-</p>
<p>This challenge will enable the ultimate test between offensive<br>
and defensive people. If you think you can hack anything, you're<br>
offensive. If you think your product is so secure it won't suffer<br>
a hack, you're defensive. And we'll get the two groups to meet on<br>
a neutral ground, in a never-done before fashion.</p>
<p>Hackers: Register to the conference and prepare your Hacking<br>
tools.<br>
Vendors: Prepare your software to be tested like never before.</p>
<p>We will give more details before the conference. This new<br>
challenge will rock your underwear!</p>
<p>--[ Security Vacation Club - Hackito Tour</p>
<p>After Hackito Ergo Sum, we will need to rest from the intensity<br>
of the conference.</p>
<p>That's why we're organizing a Hackito tour!</p>
<p>Beach, clubs, code, meeting great people and party. We will go<br>
from Paris to Ibiza to Berlin and back to Paris. For the lucky<br>
few, one sponsored Villa will host us in Ibiza. See you there.</p>
<p>--[ Anti-sexism and LGBTA Friendly:</p>
<p>This conference is open to any sex, any color, any genre, any<br>
alienness, whatever it may be.</p>
<p>--[ Greetz:</p>
<p>We would like to thank the HES2013 Team, its reviewing committee<br>
and all the volunteers for their time and dedication in making<br>
this event a success.</p>
<p>We would also like to greet all the speakers of last year's<br>
edition for the quality of their presentation and the great time<br>
we shared in Paris: you are all most welcome back in Paris for<br>
the 2013 edition.</p>
<p>Likewise, we'd like to thank last year's sponsors for their<br>
unconditional support. Feel free to support us again for this<br>
2013 edition.</p>
<p>Finally, we would like to thank all the people who participated<br>
to last years edition: whatever different views of the world,<br>
communication and exchange is probably what makes people human,<br>
and that's why we make Hackito happen. See you all in May! Peace,<br>
Love, Passion.</p>
