LayerOne

LayerOne is a cybersecurity conference that typically takes place annually. It is known for its focus on offensive security, reverse engineering, and hardware hacking. The conference aims to bring together security researchers, hackers, and professionals to share knowledge and present their latest findings.

The content of LayerOne presentations often includes detailed technical talks on exploiting vulnerabilities, analyzing malware, and exploring hardware security weaknesses. Attendees can expect to learn about emerging threats and cutting-edge techniques used by both attackers and defenders. The event usually features multiple tracks of presentations, hands-on workshops, and opportunities for networking within the security community.

In addition to the main conference, LayerOne has historically included a "Defend the Cloud" competition, where teams compete to secure and maintain their virtual cloud infrastructure against simulated attacks. This competition provides a practical, real-world challenge for participants to test their defensive skills. The conference often emphasizes a "hacker ethos," encouraging curiosity, experimentation, and a deep understanding of how systems work, and how they can be broken or secured.
