Community Details and Information

What participants will learn

Unleash the power of the Flipper Zero and Proxmark to dive deep into NFC/RFID hacking! Learn to wield magic cards, crack protocols, and even bypass real-world access control systems. Get ready to explore, experiment, and dominate the world of wireless tech!

Awesome stories, examples or info to get attendees excited

Get ready, SAINTCON! The legendary Iceman is here to dive deep into the world of NFC and RFID! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this is your chance to learn from one of the best—exploring real-world attacks, defenses, and the cutting-edge of RFID hacking.

How it relates to cyber security

Too much focus is placed on securing networks from online threats, but what if someone could just walk right in? Weak access control can render even the best cybersecurity useless—especially against someone pulling a Jayson Street-style “USB audit.” Learn how these systems work, uncover their weaknesses, and make sure your enterprise isn’t an easy target!

Any tools participants will get to use

Most challenges can be completed with a Flipper Zero or Proxmark3, both of which will be available for loan during the conference. Additionally, we’ll have Magic Cards on hand, which are perfect for cloning a variety of NFC cards.

What do participants need to bring to be successful?

All you need is a laptop—we’ll provide the rest! If you have a Flipper Zero or Proxmark, bring it along for an even deeper dive, but don’t worry if you don’t—we’ve got loaners available for checkout during the conference. Just bring your curiosity and get ready to hack, learn, and explore!
