Two halves, two perspectives. Amir on offense walks through where
AI actually finds bugs, where it just burns tokens, and the scaffolding that gets any
frontier model behaving the same way. KC on defense demos his own AI-native breach detector
against real Wizard Spider attack data and the principles behind it.
Speakers: Amir Hosseinpour & KC Udonsi (DC416)
A full day with a red half and a blue half. Build a red-teaming
agent from scratch and point it at a CTF, then flip sides and build an AI-native breach
detection scaffold. Bring a laptop, we provide all AI access. 50 seats, hands on,
approval-gated.
Workshop team: Amir Hosseinpour, KC Udonsi, Jeet
Sponsors: Stan, Palo Alto Networks, White Tuque
Connect with fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts, share knowledge, and stay updated on upcoming events.
AI tools can find the obvious bugs. They follow the most
suspicious-looking signal until it checks out, then move on. This talk breaks down the
structural reasons AI agents fail at exhaustive vulnerability discovery, and what a
better approach looks like.
Speaker: Jeet (Offensive Security Engineer @ Robinhood)
A full ICS attack simulation — false data injection into state
estimation, Modbus register overwrites, MQTT broker takeover, and chained attacks
against distributed energy resources. The operator dashboard stayed green the entire
time.
Speaker: Parham Mohammadi (Postdoctoral Researcher @ York
University)
How ransomware gangs actually work from leaked chats and real
people. From script kiddies to corporate syndicates. DC416's relaunch
event.
