Villages
Capture-The-Flag
Corelight CTF: Corelight is set to challenge the blue team with a specialized Capture the Flag (CTF) event centered on network evidence and threat hunting. As a premier sponsor and the driving force behind the open-source Zeek project, Corelight’s challenge moves beyond standard "pwn" or "web" tasks, instead immersing participants in real-world incident response scenarios.
EnterpriseKC CTF: EnterpriseKC is stepping into the spotlight with a custom-designed Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge that bridges the gap between infrastructure and application security. As an organization deeply committed to the growth of the Kansas City tech ecosystem, EnterpriseKC’s competition is built to mirror the complex, multi-layered environments found in today’s enterprise organizations.
Scavenger Hunt: The BSidesKC Scavenger Hunt returns this year, inviting the most curious and observant attendees to step away from the talks and villages and into a high-stakes search throughout the venue. This isn't your typical checklist... it’s a gauntlet of riddles, social engineering challenges, and hidden technical puzzles designed to test your situational awareness and community engagement.
