About Black Hat
Black Hat is a globally renowned cybersecurity conference held across various regions, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and Asia. The event features several key agendas such as cutting-edge research presentations (Briefings), intensive technical training (Trainings), and technology showcases (Arsenal & Business Hall).
Business Hall & Vendor Booths
A wide range of cybersecurity vendors presented their latest products, services, and solutions. Attendees had the opportunity to interact directly with technical and business representatives, gain hands-on experience, expand professional networks, and collect official merchandise from participating booths.
Arsenal & Arsenal Lab
Arsenal sessions offered live demonstrations of security tools developed by practitioners and researchers, most of which were open-source and available for immediate testing. The Arsenal Lab featured CTF-style (Capture The Flag) challenges, including an AI chatbot prompt injection competition that required both offensive and defensive skills.
Lockpicking Village
An engaging interactive zone where participants could legally and ethically learn the fundamentals of lockpicking. After a brief tutorial, daily competitions were held, offering exciting prizes. Our team joined the contest and was proud to secure a top position, receiving a professional lockpicking kit as a reward.
Merchandise & Purchase Tips
Official merchandise such as jackets, t-shirts, and accessories were available for purchase on-site. Notably, significant discounts were offered toward the end of the event. However, due to high demand, some popular items sold out quickly. For those planning to shop, we recommend timing your purchases strategically to ensure availability while taking advantage of potential discounts.
