18th USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies
Thanks to those who joined us in Philadelphia, PA, USA for the 18th USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies (WOOT ’24). We hope you enjoyed the event.
The USENIX WOOT Conference aims to present a broad picture of offense and its contributions, bringing together researchers and practitioners across all areas of computer security. Offensive security has changed from a hobby to an industry. No longer an exercise for isolated enthusiasts, offensive security is today a large-scale operation managed by organized, capitalized actors. Meanwhile, the landscape has shifted: software used by millions is built by startups less than a year old, delivered on mobile phones, and surveilled by national signals intelligence agencies. In the field's infancy, offensive security research was conducted separately by industry, independent hackers, or in academia. Collaboration between these groups was difficult.
As part of our commitment to open access to research, the full proceedings and presentation slides are free and open to the public on the technical sessions page. Videos are posted within a few weeks of the end of the event.
