We are bringing: 🔸Signature Cyber Range 🔸Live Bug Bounty - Hardware 🔸Agentic Hacking Challenge 🔸Chill Out Zone The Range Village is a community driven cyber range interest group aimed to provide community curated Cyber Range content for people who are interested in practicing their cyber skills such as active directory testing, lateral movements, defence evasion, and provisioning of an attack infrastructure. We live in a world where cybersecurity education is within a Google search or a GenAI prompt, but the access to a certain range or resource to practice those skills can be costly to individuals who are not in the position to self-fund a paid cyber range or premium access range. https://lnkd.in/g6r6HJMv See you at DEF CON Singapore!

First DEF CON 34 reading assignment! As you may know, the DC34 theme is 'Agency'. Wresting self-determination from the machine. The story 'The Machine Stops' by E.M. Forster contemplated a situation very like our own all the way back in 1909. One year after the introduction of the Model T. Read, enjoy and share your thoughts. https://lnkd.in/eYf_nCjK #defcon #Homework #agency
