Get ready for the DEF CON 33 Hackers' Almanack.
While leaders gear up for the Munich Cyber Security Conference, the DEF CON community has already mapped the weakest points in our phones, cars, and critical infrastructure.

Happy New Year! We're excited for the partnerships we’ll build in the year ahead - like this one. Last month, a Franklin volunteer and an Idaho water system met to discuss key measures like backing up configurations and setting up remote access.
