Black Hat

Overview

Black Hat is a well-known series of cybersecurity conferences and events that began in 1997, founded by Jeff Moss. It focuses on technical information security research, presentations, and training. The event serves as a platform for idea exchange between hackers and software companies, offering a unique environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. It has gained recognition for its bold discussions on cyberwarfare, cryptography, and OS vulnerabilities.

Offerings include high-level technical briefings, hands-on training courses, and keynote panels. Notable training sessions have included "The Shellcode Lab" and "Practical Threat Intelligence."
