RE:Boot – An Introduction to Reverse Engineering
This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of reverse engineering using C++ and x86 assembly—no programming experience required. Attendees will learn how to examine simple C++ programs, generate the corresponding assembly code, and analyze how software behaves at the machine level. The session covers essential concepts like disassembly, control flow, and memory inspection using real tools and practical examples. Designed for curious minds new to reverse engineering, this session provides a solid foundation for exploring malware analysis, vulnerability research, and binary exploitation. Just bring your interest in how software works beneath the surface—no coding background needed.
Proof, Not Promises: Blockchain for Cybersecurity Attestation
In a world where audit logs can be forged, screenshots are taken at face value, and security reports often rely on good faith, it's time to disrupt how we prove trust. This talk introduces blockchain-based attestation, a cutting-edge approach to creating tamper-proof, cryptographically verifiable evidence of cybersecurity controls, building integrity, and policy enforcement.
You'll learn how to integrate lightweight blockchain attestations into DevSecOps workflows to validate events like secure builds, vulnerability scans, access control enforcement, and code reviews. We'll also explore real-world tools and frameworks and discuss how they reshape compliance, supply chain security, and zero-trust architecture.
Whether you're a security engineer, compliance lead, or DevOps professional, this session will equip you with the tools and mindset to replace “trust me” with “prove it" and bring absolute, verifiable trust into your pipelines.
