Best papers delivered by the experts from around the globe
There are no invulnerable systems. There are only well-defended ones. And there should be no place for illusions in the quest for a well-defended system. Star speakers from various countries will help you disavow myths, , and assess the actual security level of one system or another. You will know how hackers plan their actions, how malware and exploits work. The experts will show their current research, analyze the most important problems of the field, and demonstrate actual attacks.
Workshops by world-class professionals
The gurus of infosec are ready to share unique knowledge and skills. At their workshops, you will learn how to write exploits, how to bypass the defense of OS and browsers, how to find vulnerabilities in web projects. Practical knowledge fortified by theory is priceless.
Business track
The new separate track for CISOs is an opportunity to actually evaluate the business risks imposed by infosec threats. You will find everything you wanted to know about information security: figures, facts, opinions, and solutions.
Best place for friendly and professional communication
ZeroNights gathers professionals from Russia and other countries. Here is the informal venue to get the answers to the hottest questions, to meet the best infosec practitioners, and to acquire unique knowledge.
Contests for the gifted
Age, sex, occupation, personal achievements mean nothing in our contests. The main thing is talent, daring, speed and unique skills. Just act and win.

ZAPROSZENIE NA SPOTKANIE OWASP
Zapraszamy na spotkanie OWASP w Krakowie, we środę 8 maja. Spotykamy się jak zwykle w KPT ale tym razem o godzinie 17.00.
W programie:
- Bezpieczeństwo a zarządzanie projektami – Paweł Klewar
- Model bezpieczeństwa rozszerzeń Google Chrome – Krzysztof Kotowicz
Poza tymi dwoma prezentacjami, proponujemy dyskusję na temat zagrożeń związanych z włączaniem obcej zawartości (reklam, statystyk, itp.) do kodu strony. Czy jest to zawartość zaufana? Co się stanie jeśli ktoś przejmie kontrolę nad add-serverem? Jak można temu przeciwdziałać? Problem omówimy na przykładzie realnych incydentów – instytucji zaufania publicznego z branży finansowej oraz popularnego portalu poświęconego bezpieczeństwu IT. Problem nie jest prosty do rozwiązania, więc liczymy na gorącą dyskusję!
