Pros Versus Joes CTF | Room 514
Ham Radio Village
The Pros vs Joes CTF is a live combat Capture The Flag event. The Pros are Information Security professionals or advanced in their knowledge of securing / compromising computers and networks. These professionals will help the Joes to improve their skills through the course of two days of attack and defend. On the first day, teams of Joes, captained by a Pro, protect their network from the Red Cell. On the second day, the Red Cell dissolves and joins the Joe teams, which then attack each other.
The game is completely virtual, players only need bring a laptop for connecting to the gaming environment via the Internet. Laptops will NOT be in the line of fire.
At the end of each day, there will be a debrief to reveal how compromises occurred, with discussion for how to better defend.

In this game capture the flag you will be presented with real configurations of real wireless and radio technologies to attack. Practice your skill and learn new ones from Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) through Software Defined Radio (SDR) and up to Bluetooth and WiFi.

Aerospace Village | Room 541
Aerospace Village will present our Bricks in the Air demonstration. Bricks in the Air is a hands-on avionics demonstration where participants explore low-level aircraft communication protocols by injecting commands into a simulated avionics bus. Each command instantly reflects on a connected Lego aircraft model—activating motors or triggering features—so participants can witness the real-time effects of bypassing safety measures. This engaging, interactive setup offers a safe environment to uncover how avionics communication works, where vulnerabilities arise, and why securing flight systems is critical.
