Overview
The Wall of Sheep would like to announce a call for Workshops at DEF CON 27 in Las Vegas, NV from Thursday, August 8th to Sunday, August 11th. The Packet Hacking Village Workshop's goal is to deliver hands-on training sessions that increase security awareness and provide skills that can be immediately applied after the conference. Our audience ranges from those who are new to security to the most seasoned practitioners in the security industry. Introductory workshops are welcome! A very nominal fee will be charged for advanced registration of these workshops. However, all proceeds will go directly to Hackers for Charity. This is your chance to give back to the community in multiple ways!
The hands-on workshops area will have 40 computers pre-loaded with the necessary tools so attendees will not need to bring their own laptop. There will be one computer available for the presenter that is a mirror of the attendees. The mirror laptop will be displayed on one screen; a second projected display and hookups is available for you to present your material. We will be able to pre-load any software (within reason) including one virtual machine for your presentation. The computers will boot Kali Linux. While network access is available to all machines, it should not be relied upon for your presentation... this is DEF CON after all. :)
Topics of interest include:
- Tools for Network sniffing, intrusion detection, monitoring, reverse engineering, forensics, penetration testing, data collection and visualization
- Purple teaming
- Secure Software Development
- Training in hacking/security tools and their usage in the corporate world
- Programming for security practitioners
- Tool/task automation and optimization
- Incident response process and procedures
The Wall of Sheep will not accept product or vendor related pitches. If your content is a thinly-veiled advertisement for a product or service your company is offering, please do not apply!
All accepted workshops will be announced, recorded, and published by Aries Security, LLC. and DEF CON Communications, Inc. Please see our YouTube channel for all talks from previous years: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnL9S5Wv_dNvO381slSA06w.
The Call for Workshops will close on June 1st at 11:59 PM. The list of workshops will be finalized and published on June 14th.
Speaking Format
Each teaching slot is 1, 1.5 or 2 hours maximum, including time for Q&A. If we have time and it is in line with our goals mentioned above, then there is a good chance you will be selected.

Name of Workshop:
Length of Workshop:
(1, 1.5, or 2 hours)
Abstract:
Your abstract will be used for the website and printed materials. Summarize what your workshop will cover. Attendees will read this to get an idea of what they should know before your presentation, and what they will learn after. Use this to inform about how technical your talk is. This abstract is the primary way people will be drawn to your session. CFW reviewers like to see what tools will be used and what materials you suggest to read in advance to get the most out of your presentation.
Equipment Needs & Special Requests:
The Wall of Sheep will provide laptops pre-loaded with software for the attendees, you will have 1 projected laptop setup the same as the attendees for demonstration, 1 projector feed for your laptop/material, and microphones. The laptops will boot Kali; please let us know if there is any software you will need pre-loaded on the workshop laptops. If you have a VM, please make sure it works with VMware Player. One month before DEF CON, you will be asked to provide all software so it can be pre-loaded on the systems.
Speaker's Bio(s):
This text will be used for the website and printed materials and should be written in the third person. Cover any professional history that is relevant to the presentation, including past jobs, tools that you have written, etc. Let people know who you are and why you are qualified to speak on your topic. Presentations that are submitted without biographies will not be considered.
Detailed Outline:
You must provide a detailed outline containing the main points and navigation through your workshop. Show how you intend to begin, where you intend to lead the audience and how you plan to get there. The outline may be provided in a separate attachment and may be as simple as a text file or as detailed as a "bare bones" presentation. The better your outline then the better we are able to best review your presentation against other submissions (and the higher chance you have of being accepted). SUBMISSION NOTE: Presentations that are submitted without abstracts, outlines, or speaker bios (e.g., that have only PDFs, PPTs, or white papers attached or only point to a URL) will not be considered.
Supporting File(s):
Additional supporting materials such as code, white papers, proof of concept, etc. should be sent along with this email to cfw2017[at]wallofsheep[dot]com. Note that additional files that may help in the selection process should be included. We are not asking for a complete presentation for this initial submission. That will only be required if you are selected for presenting.
Note:
Attendees will be allowed to pre-register for the workshop prior to DEF CON; there will be a small charge with the proceeds going to a charity of the Packet Hacking Village's choice.
