It was the summer of 2016, and like everyone else, I was out playing Pokémon Go. Except my rural location barely spawned anything interesting. Naturally, I dove into the game's code, reverse engineered its protocol, and built a custom Pokémon scanner.

But the story doesn't end there. One day, a switch was flipped, enabling a fancy new anti-cheating feature that locked out any custom implementations.

In this talk, I'll begin by exploring how mobile games like Pokémon Go handle communication through specialized protocols—and how I replicated that behavior to build a scanner. Then, I'll walk you through a 4-day hacking marathon where I teamed up with a group of like-minded enthusiasts to overcome the anti-cheating mechanism that nearly broke our scanners.

We'll examine how mobile games attempt to thwart such applications, unraveling the anti-cheating mechanism that was deployed by Pokemon Go. We'll explore how we managed, through obfuscated cryptographic functions, unexpected use of smartphone peripherals and hidden protobuf definitions, to break the anti-cheating system and release a publicly available API for the game's protocol.

Almost a decade later, the full story is ready to be told. Join me for an inside look at the anti-cheating mechanisms of online mobile games—and how to hack them.

DEF CON 33 - Breakin 'Em All – Overcoming Pokemon Go's Anti Cheat Mechanism - Tal Skverer

Risk-limiting audits (RLAs) limit the "risk" of certifying that the wrong candidates won. There are RLA methods for almost every type of political election in the US, including plurality, multiwinner plurality, supermajority, and instant-runoff voting. The latest RLA methods make it practical to audit every contest in every election, even in large jurisdictions with hundreds of contests. RLAs can "tie a bow around" a well-run election that uses trustworthy, organized methods to record and store votes. They cannot magically make a poorly run election trustworthy any more than fastening your seatbelt after an accident will prevent injury. Applying RLA procedures to an untrustworthy vote record is "security theater" that does not limit the risk of certifying the wrong winners.

DEF CON 33 Voting Village - Risk Limiting Audits: What They Are and Aren't - Philip Stark

DEF CON 33 - Voting Village - It's Not Safe Yet: Online Voting in Practice - Michael Specter

End-to-End-Verifiability (E2E-V) is a cryptographic paradigm that, as applied to voting systems, allows voters to independently verify that their votes were cast as intended, guaranteeing that votes were recorded as cast, and tallied as recorded. As such, it is being promoted to public officers and elected officials at the county and state levels as the “magic bullet” allowing for secure voting over the internet. This talk will present, in a relatively low-tech way, that E2E-V is irrelevant to some attacks – both to servers outside the cryptographic “loop,” and particularly to client-side systems. E2E-V-equipped voting systems are primarily vulnerable to client-side malware, which would still be free to alter or sabotage voting applications and devices.

The talk will present opinions from E2E-V. These perspectives are juxtaposed against opinions and rhetoric from the commercial promoters of internet voting systems, disputing the propositions of those promoters.

DEF CON 33 - Voting Village - Is E2E Verifiability a Magic Bullet for Online Voting - John Odum

Using the Dominion touchscreen BMD debuted at Voting Village 2023, we will discuss and demonstrate in real-time how technically simple "hacks" to the ballot displayed on the voter’s touchscreen can directly impact the vote count, or alternatively impact the voter’s decisions. These simple “hacks” to the election definition (with no need to inject malware) include the manipulation of display of candidate choices, silent removal of candidates from the display, and using false instructions on the touchscreen to intentionally misinform voters regarding candidates or ballot questions. Furthermore, attempting to determine/recover from such hacks on the election outcomes can range from difficult to impossible. In addition to discussing the tactics and potential impacts, we will illuminate underlying system design decisions which enabled such hacks to be technically simple, feasible, and easily executable. The knowledge and tools used/discussed were obtained through public means and public websites, available to an unlimited number of people. This talk will focus on the general methodology and ease of the vote manipulation, the range of impacts, the feasibility and scalability. Immediately following the on-stage presentation, a deeper dive into the technical aspects will occur in the adjacent Voting Village lab room.

DEF CON 33 Voting Village - Dominion ICX Simple Hacks Daunting Recoveries - Springall, Davis, Marks

During World War II, the predecessor to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services, developed a framework for the French Resistance to identify vulnerabilities in key German defenses and infrastructure. The framework, titled “CARVER” applies the following designations to enumerated components of complex systems: Criticality, Accessibility, Recepurability, Vulnerability, Effect, Recognizability. The same framework, viewed through a security framework, will highlight a system’s strengths or weaknesses, depending on the analyst’s tasking. This panel will examine voting systems in the context of the CARVER framework.

I started as a studio repair technician at Avatar & started a Macbook component level logic board repair business. This channel shows repair & data recovery work & shows how to perform these repairs step by step. There are many things that make it hard to fix things now; willful actions from manufacturers to limit access to parts & schematics. I talked about this to try and spark mainstream recognition of the "Right to Repair" movement.

Restrictions placed on repair were just a canary-in the-coal-mine for many of the anti-ownership, anti-consumer practices that would become common in every industry, which I discuss & try to push back against every day.

Cybersecurity has an identity problem. Managing the complexities of identity in a corporate environment never gets easier.

As we enter the world of Agentic AI, each "Agent" will also have its own identity, and attributes that may identify it as an agent of the company it represents – or be fakes that attackers use to socially engineer victims in a new range of attacks. Traditional cybersecurity frameworks aren't prepared for Agentic AI, identity, and access management, and companies lack policies to define how to authenticate, authorize, or audit AI Agents. Without clear identity frameworks and standards for Agentic AI, we run the risk that AI Agents will exceed intended scope, be difficult to audit, and without clear threat models, enable unintended attacks or exploits. Employees will also create Shadow AI Agents, even if well intended, that may act autonomously, access sensitive data, trigger workflows, and connect with third-party systems all in the name of "getting the job done".

Attackers are going to take advantage of this chaos. Security teams will have to identify and combat this activity. We have an opportunity to solve some of the systemic problems now, before Agentic AI becomes prolific. Standards bodies are engaging, and startups are offering ideas. In this discussion, we will explore ideas and solutions to the Agentic AI crisis, and the risks to organizations and governments alike when internal accidents or external attacks strike.

Keynote: Agentic AI and Identity: The Biggest Problem We're Not Solving

Cybersecurity has always been built on rules — some that save us, and some that nearly ruin us. A few have held true for decades, like "your users are the weakest link." Others, like "change your passwords every month," aged badly and left us chasing the wrong problems. Rules reflect the world in which they were written, and the world keeps moving. In this session, I'll revisit the rules we lived by in the 2000s, reveal which ones still matter, which ones failed us, and what new rules we'll need to survive the future.

Black Hat | Connect. Learn. Lead in Cybersecurity

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol on the Internet, but it lacks security mechanisms. At the same time, the democratization of access has transformed the Internet into the default platform, where global services and communications happen. As a result, routing security quickly became an issue of great economic and national security concern. The US Federal Communications Commission and the White House Office of the National Cyber Director formally recognized the urgent need to invest more on protecting Internet routing, and standardize efficient security protocols.

The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) protocol is rapidly becoming the global standard for enforcing Internet routing security for BGP. It currently covers over 50% of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes and has been deployed by at least 27% of networks in the world, including major Tier-1 providers. However, RPKI is not secure by design. Research on its robustness and security properties has shown that despite the minimal public facing interfaces, RPKI suffers from widespread crash-inducing vulnerabilities and exploitable protocol loopholes. Attacks on RPKI have been well-documented over the years, including previous Black Hat talks. Now that RPKI is poised to go global, with the potential of being included into strict security regulations, it is time to reconsider the current vulnerable deployments and improve their robustness.

In this work, we introduce Byzantine RPKI (ByzRP), a secure, robust, and distributed intermediate RPKI service that provides a stable output for all RPKI clients worldwide, while being able to completely bypass stalling and denial-of-service attacks on the RPKI infrastructure, with no downtime and service failure. We also offer a secure live ByzRP deployment for all interested parties worldwide to test it and eventually incorporate it into their networks.

The ByzRP Solution: A Global Operational Shield for RPKI Validators

In this talk, we present the first open source implementation of HID SEOS communication protocol over RFID. HID SEOS is a credential technology designed to provide enhanced security, flexibility, and convenience for access control and identity management applications. It's currently the leading access control solution for HID Global and is widely used in corporate, educational, healthcare, and government settings.

The documentation for this card technology is not publicly available so no previous open source implementation exists.
We will demonstrate how it works and give insights in our process of making this project happen. The source code has been incorporated into the Proxmark3 project.
