Why attend?
These workshops or master classes are well selected for IoTForum's goal of Raising the IoT Quotient of India. In these days of rapid change, startups need to prepare for the future rather than be caught with outdated technologies and old school business models. Some links to Thought Leadership are illustrated in the main page of the IoTForum Workshops. We have kept descriptions of the context and courses brief to allow rapid scanning but do click through the hyperlinked portions, explore topics and blogs at IoTForIndia to get more depth and send us a query or join our Telegram Group and engage. Checkout this video to get a bird's-eye view of the workshops.
Theme
IoT devices are easier to hack. IoTForum is leading with FreshThinking to build better safer, more secure IoT solutions. Designing for safety is advocated by consultants and they have missed the plot. More important is to think outside the box like a hacker, explore vulnerabilities and help improve. Builders need to develop systems to meet functional and non-functional requirements. A different breed does much better in breaking things. We need a large number of White Hat hackers and Red Blue and Purple teams. Capture The Flags (better known as CTFs) are games where hackers have to find bugs and solve puzzles to find "flags," bits of data that tell the system you've completed a given task. This blog talks about participating in a CTF. Defcon CTF is the big one. Here is a partial list of world wide CTFs.

Based on the TV Series Mr.Robot, Elliot, an introverted Cyber-Security Engineer who joins F-Society contributes in bringing down a corrupt Multi-national financial company Evil Corp, along with his associates. There are a number of challenges that F-Society has to solve in order to accomplish its mission. In this CTF, we have those challenges published already all at once and running in jeopardy style. Solve these challenges to capture the flag and post it in the HackBoard (CTF platform). |
Organization
We Hacker.care are using jeopardy-style CTFs consisting of completing different challenges from a broad range of categories in order to earn points. No matter your experience or skill sets, we are building levels to suit you; from the most basic to complex problems. will learn various interesting things like RFID cloning, RF signal Capture and Replay attacks, Lock Picking, Firmware Reversing. We will provide IoT hardware.
