Adversary Village shall focus on hosting hands-on deep technical workshops, live demonstrations, panel discussions, adversary wars-CTF competition and a ton of other hands-on activities on adversarial attack simulation/emulation, adversary tactics and hacker survival skills. We are excited to be back at DEF CON this year!
Please find Adversary Village at DEF CON 32 schedule here for the talks and panel discussions on the Creator stage 3!

Adversary Village will be hosting a CTF named "Adversary Wars", where the participants will have to pose as adversaries and replicate adversarial actions against each element of a “target” organization. Adversary Wars would have real world simulation of CTF scenarios and challenges, where the participants can perform various attacks and learn new attack vectors, TTPs, techniques, etc. To visualize the CTF environment, the contest area will feature a miniature model of the city made using interlocking-plastic-bricks. The breached components OR organization buildings will be physically marked in the city model as the CTF progresses. [More Information]
Schedule for the hands-on workshops to be hosted in the Village area!

Adversary Village at DEF CON 32 schedule for the hands-on hacking and adversarial attack simulation activities!
[Friday 10:00 to 18:00 | Saturday 10:00 to 18:00 | Sunday 10:00 to 12:00]
Adversary Simulator booth is a volunteer assisted activity, which has hands-on adversary emulation plans and exercises specific to a wide variety of threat-actors; these are meant to provide the participants with a better understanding of adversarial attack emulation. The booth will be hosting a simulated environment meant to recreate enterprise infrastructure, operational technology environment, which serves targets for various attack simulations. The hands-on simulator booth also hosts an activity, which would need the participants to generate their own adversary emulation plans to assess the efficacy of the defense systems based on publicly available cyber threat intelligence.
Our hands-on hacking area will feature a variety of activities focused on adversarial attack simulation, offensive cyber security operations, ransomware and threat-actor emulation! Join us at Adversary Village this year!
Adversary Adventure is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure model interactive table-top exercise game, where everyone can participate and choose various tasks. The participants can choose to play as an attacker who performs adversarial activities against a target, a defender who deals with a potential breach, as a CISO who is managing a ransomware attack, or even as management executives going through a table-top exercise.
We are working together with DCNextGen to make an amazing experience for our young Hackers! Visit our hands-on hacking area for more!
This area will feature guided breach simulation exercises for participants to engage with. There will be two activities, "Breach-the-Hospital" and "Breach-the-Office," based on two LEGO sets. A simulated cyber range will be available for each scenario, providing an exact replica of an enterprise production environment. We will provide a detailed walkthrough of the attack scenarios, including Tools-Techniques-and-Procedures (TTPs) commands and how-to guides, demonstrating how to atatck and breach the hospital's infrastructure or the office environment. This exercise will give participants a clear understanding of how adversaries infiltrate corporate environments.
