A local DEF CON group (DCG) is part of “a global community of hackers, thinkers, makers
and others bent on being part of the elegant chaos they want to see in the world”
(--The Dark Tangent)
DC215 is a DEF CON group focused on community, education, mentoring and bringing the hacker and InfoSec community in the Philadelphia area together. It is a gathering that will feature presentations, workshops, CTFs, and anything else in which the community is interested. The group is community-driven, and allows its members to be active so they can learn or teach about a subject they are passionate about. DC215 also supports the already-existing security-related and technology-focused groups, and we encourage members of all groups to collaborate and share knowledge. We are Philly InfoSec strong together!
The mission of the DC215 group is to advance knowledge and educate anyone interested in science, technology, and other areas of information security through project collaborations, group gatherings, and group activities that will best serve our community and the world.

DC215 Celebrates 30 Years of Hackers
HACK THE PLANET! 🌍💻
ATTENTION ALL KEYBOARD COWBOYS AND SCREEN QUEENS!
It's been THREE DECADES since Acid Burn and Zero Cool first graced our screens with their elite hacking skills, rollerblading prowess, and questionable fashion choices. Join DC215 as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the movie that made us all want to hack Gibson and crash the system!
Dress Code, think cyberpunk meets 90s rave. Leather jackets, neon, sunglasses at night, and anything that screams "I can crash your mainframe."
Come for the nostalgia, stay for the community. Whether you're a seasoned pentester or someone who just thinks Angelina Jolie looked cool with that pixie cut, all skill levels welcome!

Serialization Vulnerabilities with Razdex
Microsoft announced that the BinaryFormatter class is insecure and cannot be made secure, but how bad can it be? How about a remote code execution exploit? You’ll see a demo of this attack and how it’s also exposed through JSON and Newtonsoft. Demos and code samples are in C#, but this exploit is possible in any insecure deserialization process. By the end of this talk, you'll know what to look for in your code and how to prevent it. If you're a red teamer or pen tester you'll add another attack vector to your toolkit.
