USENIX Security '21

Please join us for the 30th USENIX Security Symposium, which will be held as a virtual event on August 11–13, 2021. USENIX Security brings together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others to share and explore the latest advances in the security and privacy of computer systems and networks.

Hack@Sec is returning for 2021! Teams in this competition try to mimic the practices of a team that is responsible for the security assurance of the hardware and firmware of the system under test. Their objective is to identify the security vulnerabilities, assess their security impact, propose a mitigation, and report them. They are free to use any tools and techniques of their choosing. There are opportunities for student-only teams and mixed teams. Register your team by May 10, 2021.
