The DEF CON community challenges the status quo, bringing a diversity of perspectives and ideas to identify hidden problems and solutions. While DARPA lays claim to the origin of the ARPANET/internet, vast communities of people with different interests created its novel components. The DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge helped launch the field of vulnerability detection and remediation and numerous DARPA Cyber Fast Track program performers continue to contribute to DEF CON.

What if current vulnerabilities all magically disappeared overnight and critical infrastructure were "safe and secure" for the time being. What would come next?

In this talk, Dr. Stefanie Tompkins will discuss the value of the hacker community and many of the contributions that have come from it, as well as the growth and synergy of the two communities. She'll also explore the question of what comes next.

For a deeper dive into the real-world impacts of DARPA cyber technologies, Dr. Renee Wegrzyn, the inaugural director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), will join Stefanie and a moderator. They will discuss efforts that impact DEF CON areas of interest and inform ARPA-H work, from Cyber Fast Track to current work focused on securing and defending hospitals and the health tech ecosystem from cyberattacks.

In his 2000 bestseller "The Tipping Point," Malcolm Gladwell told the story of why crime fell in New York City in the 1990s. Now, 25 years later, he's back with a confession and a mea culpa: "I was wrong," he says. He shares how his analysis contributed to the rise of the infamous "stop and frisk" policing policy in New York City — and shows why journalists should avoid the trap of imagining a story is ever really over. (Followed by a Q&A with TED's Monique Ruff-Bell) (Recorded at TEDNext 2024 on October 22, 2024)

The Internet was supposed to give us access to the world's information, so that people, everywhere, would be able to know the truth. But that's not how things worked out. Instead, we have a digital deception engine of global proportions. Nothing that comes through the screen can be trusted, and even the things that are technically true have been selected, massaged, and amplified in support of someone's messaging strategy.

Deception isn't just about narratives - we see deception at every layer of the network stack, from spoofed electromagnetic signatures, to false flags in malware, to phony personas used to access networks and spread influence. They hide in our blindspots, exploit our biases, and fill our egos while manipulating our perceptions.

How do we decide what is real? This talk examines time-tested maxims that teach the craft of effective deception, and then inverts those offensive principles to provide defensive strategies. We'll explore ways to counter biases, triangulate information sources, detect narratives, and how hackers can build tools that can change the game.

At their best, hackers lift their heads up above the masses to see how the world actually works, not how it purports to work, and then take action to make the world a better place. You'll leave this talk with practical skills to do just that.

NORWAY
NATO's marines are among the toughest troops in the Alliance. But in the Arctic, tough isn't enough – marines must be unusually skilled and resilient to survive the freezing temperatures and rugged landscape.
In early 2024, marine forces from several NATO Allies got to test their mettle against the High North, putting their cold weather lessons into practice while learning new tactics from their counterparts during exercise Steadfast Defender 24. Finnish, Italian and Swedish marines worked together to stage amphibious raids on the coast of Norway, while US marines improved their survival skills inland, learning what their Nordic Allies already know: when it comes to deep snow, skis are the only way to get around.

The exercise was particularly poignant for Finland and Sweden, NATO's two newest members. Finland joined in 2023, while Sweden joined in the midst of the exercise, with many Swedish troops holding impromptu celebrations to mark their accession.

Marines need to be prepared to come ashore and defend Allied territory, no matter the time, place or climate. This short documentary follows the marines during Steadfast Defender, showing that they're more than capable of braving the elements to fulfil their mandate.
