This year, we’ve combined both our community and the enterprise event at a brand new venue, in the name of HITCON PEACE, which is the acronym of “Protect Enterprise And Citizens Ever-after.” We hope that the energy and the spirit of the hacker community could keep protecting society and enterprises. To simultaneously satisfy the needs of the hacker community and enterprises, HITCON PEACE would not only introduce cutting-edge technologies but also covers practical information security content demanded by corporations.

Survival Guide for the Cyber War
If we were to pick a word representing 2022, “PEACE” would certainly not be one of the candidates. Not only has the COVID-19 pandemic not died down, but the military clash between Russia and Ukraine has also shaken the whole world. This is the first time a conflict has risen between two countries with full Internet capabilities, and cyberwar has become one of the most important battlegrounds both sides aim to capture.

From the occurrence of nation-scale Internet episonage last year to the more destructive cyberattacks recently, this war has demonstrated what cyberwar is like when it happens around us. Not to mention ProxyLogon, Log4shell, Spring4Shell and other nuclear-level vulnerabilities that were revealed these days, as they’ve all become the ammunition of this war.

Moreover, attacks targeting Viasat KA-SAT caused many systems based on high-speed satellite communication networks to malfunction; deepfakes are also utilized for information manipulation in a more realistic way. They’ve demonstrated the widespread deployment of newest technologies among a broad cyberwar. As the Internet infrastructure and economic structure of the two countries are much more sound and well-connected to the globe by comparison, individuals around the globe all felt the impact. Observing the incidents, we could see the repercussions affecting Global Cyber Alliance, supply chains, social media platforms, enterprises, citizens, underground economies, and even hacker culture itself—no one could stay away from the effect. Taiwan, similarly a frontier of cyber warfare, should also pay attention to the situation and learn the necessary survival skills from hackers themselves.

  【 HITCON 2021 】

Work from home, hack into home
Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, the lifestyle of humans had been changed fundamentally. Work From Home has become the required option. Our daily life has been furthered to the virtual world. Accompanied by humans taking more time to stay at home, the IoT home devices and services have become more important. Those devices and services will also bring more vulnerability and risk to cybersecurity.
We are also starting to prepare various activities and make sure HITCON 2021 can get close to the human lifestyle and deepen the link with the world. We believe only the HITCON can exceed HITCON. The HITCON 2021 will not only be a cybersecurity conference but also be a conference which can bridge the people and the world.

The theme for this year’s HITCON Community is “Trust in the Untrusted World”. Trust has always been a central theme in information security. Throughout the years, there are countless incidents that shows the critical role that trust plays, from the certificates that were stolen to sign APT malwares, to the widespread fake news problem. New developments in our industry also warrant our revisit to the trust theme. With so many things that we have to trust in the highly untrusted world of Internet, we welcome you to explore these topics with us at this year’s HITCON Community

A brand new year with new space, new activities, and new resolution! The HITCON CMT 2018 is hosted by HITCON GIRLS, The main topic will be “Blockchain”. Not only the physical Coolwallet of Electronic Board but also have a new cryptocurrency “HITCON Token”. During the conference time, the attendees will have their own digital wallet and use it to participate in the activity. Ex. the sponsor's booth or the conference will randomly launch the “Free Token” event. Another fun activity we would like to share with you is the HITCON Hackdoor; by a new type of escape game, combining puzzle solving, tutorials, and competitions, we will help everyone to learn and challenge any IoT devices in our daily life, such as IP Cam, WIFI, printers, access control system or any security system and there security issues they might have. We hope it will be a fun and alive event for every one coming to feel the hacker spirit!

The spread of large-scale attacks in recent years has made the atmosphere of information security even more intense. The resources invested by the national government, the change of mindset of the enterprise, the careful planning of education, and the vigorous development of the community all represent the process of Taiwan's capital security towards progress.

HITCON CMT 2017 features HITCON XIII Mission Code: IVZNDAMOVDADMDNMDQV and expects to contribute at this important time!

This year at HITCON Community (CMT), we don't set out theme limits. It is our hope that we can do without unnecessary restrictions and burdens, so that we can follow our aspirations and let HITCON return to its most primitive and pure form. With "freedom" and "hacker spirit" as the core concepts and hacking techniques, thinking, creativity as foundations, this year at HITCON we will present you an information security annual conference which is even more informative and exciting than ever!

The theme of this year's conference is "Security of Things". HITCON launched special equipment Wargame, Hack2Own competition, and Incredible Hacking Awards, etc., and set up exclusive community activities to encourage all communities to stand on the stage to show the research results and promote their own spirit, hoping to maintain the HITCON tradition and grow together with the domestic and foreign information Security community, nurture more information security personnel.

In this new era of rapid technological development, we are confronted with ubiquitous information security threats and vulnerabilities.

Since its establishment ten years ago, HITCON has been working hard to improve the public's attention to information security. This year, the seminar will be extended to four days. We will explore possible information security issues in our lives, and we hope that through this conference, more people will learn how to adapt to and live with information security threats.

In today's world, wars are no longer just about airplanes and guns. We are facing an era of information warfare without the smell of gunpowder. This year, HITCON is ushering in a brand new future with the theme "Cyberwar: In hack we trust."

In this day and age, we can only rely on ourselves, we can only trust hackers, and in the end, we choose to trust technology to find ways to protect ourselves.

HITCON 2012, we cracked iCloud, AppStore, unlisted second-generation EasyCard and Citizen Digital Certificate, and invited foreign experts to share their experience.

In addition, the billboard character "hacker mother Rootan" is materialized and dances with hackers on the spot. We are committed to creating a quality seminar for all Taiwan information security professionals to gather together and share the most cutting-edge technology and the most innovative hacker culture!

In order to give participants a new experience this year, we have organized a hacker creative cross dressing competition, which is a chance for participants to show their imagination of hackers.In addition, during the conference, there will be "My ShowTime! Show yourself" exhibition space, which will be provided for participants to hold their own activities!

We expect HITCON to be an annual party, bringing hackers together.In addition to sharing experiences, you can also experience a true hacker culture, where the latest, most interesting and sensitive issues are discussed in the context of the interaction between hackers and the hacker community.

Due to legal restrictions and different national conditions, Taiwan's hackers cannot communicate as openly as foreign hackers.By hosting HITCON, we hope to bring information security experts, researchers and hackers together to discuss threats and trends of information security, thus bringing new opportunities to Taiwan's information security industry.

In the first speech of the second hacker conference in Taiwan, we discussed the Security Ecosystem from an innovative perspective and analyzed the current situation and future development of the information security circle. We discussed the results of research on information security and the latest technology trends at this conference. We look forward to taking this opportunity to raise the awareness of information security in Taiwan.

In Taiwan, due to the Internet intrusion and the lack of public understanding of hackers, the term "hacker" has been misled for a long time, making people think that hackers are intruders. As a result, hackers with real technology and sense of justice have participated in underground organizations or foreign activities, and even dared not discuss and publish the technology on the Internet.

This time, through this conference, we hope that, without breaking the law, Taiwan's sophisticated hackers will come forward, publish papers on information security technologies, and exchange experience and chat with others face to face.

We also run wargames to provide a real online environment where participants can leverage their talents, learn from the event and prove their abilities.
